Another guacamole-common-js package?

Yes. To address issues such as GUACAMOLE-520 (related to Japanese keyboard layouts), on older versions of guacamole-common-js, and perhaps others in the future.

How does it relate to Padarom's npm package?

Padarom's package is forked from the version of guacamole-client by Glyptodon, Inc - glyptodon/guacamole-client. This fork is directly from the original apache/guacample-client. At the time of this writing, apache/guacamole-client doesn't have branches per version, but does have tags. We use these tags as the basis for the corresponding version branches (such as v1.3.0).

We note that the dist files produced for version 1.3.0 of this package are identical to those produced by Padarom's guacamole-common-js v1.3.0 version, (except with regard to the fixes due to GUACAMOLE-520). Not a surprise as we use the gulp machinery from Padarom's implementation (thank you).

Installation

You can install this library via npm:

npm install --save @cyolosecurity/guacamole-common-js

import Guacamole from '@cyolosecurity/guacamole-common-js';

Version numbers

The npm version we use will correspond to the tag in the original Apache repo, with an additional number corresponding to the patch.

Reporting problems

We're not a maintainer or contributor to the original guacamole repository (at least not yet).
