github LibVNC/libvncserver LibVNCServer-0.9.15

19 hours ago

0.9.15 sees some internal code structure cleanup, UTF-8 clipboard handling improvements and HTTP server support for multithreaded VNC servers. 27 issues and pull requests were closed/merged since 0.9.14.

🕯 I'd like to dedicate this release to those affected by the 2024 Magdeburg car attack which happened two days ago. In these sad times, let's hope that all these alt-right AfD alternative-facts explainer news that are popping up right now (and their prominent supporters) don't get the upper hand in people's heads.

Overall changes:

  • Added fuzzing with OSS-Fuzz thanks to Catena Cyber.
  • Improved build system to have files where they are expected in contemporary open source projects. Also split out Mac OS server example to own repo at https://github.com/LibVNC/macVNC
  • Added Windows CI on GitHub.

LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient:

  • Fixed building with OpenSSL >= 3.0.0.
  • Fixed UTF-8 clipboard handling compatibility cases.

LibVNCClient:

  • Fixed LibVNCClient handling of UltraVNC MSLogonII when built with OpenSSL.
  • Added UTF-8 clipboard handling.
  • Added API to allow the client to specify a subregion of the server's framebuffer and have LibVNCClient only ask for this, not the whole framebuffer.
  • Fixed Tight decoding endianness issues.
  • Added a Qt-based client example.

LibVNCServer:

  • Added a proof-of-concept X11 example server.
  • Improved SSH example by having it use libsshtunnel instead of custom code.
  • Fixed HTTPD for multithreaded servers.
  • Fixed UTF-8 clipboard crash.
