Hello, everyone,
With the 1.5.5 release having gone out yesterday (great work, everyone!), I
thought maybe we could start heading in the direction of the 1.6.0 release,
which has a lot of features and a lot of interest from folks in getting
several of those features released. The release currently has 95 Jira
issues associated with it - I'll not list them, here, but here's are a
couple of links to the lists of features currently tagged for the release:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/GUACAMOLE/versions/12351447
https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%2012319620%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%2012351447%20ORDER%20BY%20key%20DESC%2C%20priority%20DESC

Aside from the ones already tagged for the 1.6.0 release, below is a list
of items that might be worth investigating to see if we can close some of
them out quickly enough to get into a 1.6.0 release in the
coming...weeks, maybe couple of months? I plan to take a stab at a few of
them.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-374 (Docker improvements) -
Might be able to use this to include the switch over to the environment
properties-based configuration?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-531 (Stop using --link in
Docker configurations)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-614 (guac_iconv infinite
loop)

condition on joining connection) - May already be resolved??
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-997 (Printing failure if
RDP issues read request)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1026 (FreeRDP 3 support) -
Not sure what level of effort is going to be required for this, and if it
makes sense for 1.6.0 or should push to 2.0.0?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-1084 (Error detection when
attempting to access unpublished RemoteApp) - I have a PR open for this one.

via VNC) - PR already in progress

from being closed) - PR is open for this, but might need someone else to
help it along, as the original contributor isn't responding.

architecture) - PR is open for this
