Features

  • Disabled STUN IP discovery by default.
  • Added a video streaming mode with hardware- and software-accelerated H.264, H.265, and AV1 encoders. Hardware acceleration uses VAAPI (Intel/AMD) and NVENC (NVIDIA).
  • Added a relative mouse input mode for improved UX and application compatibility, including games and applications that rely on raw mouse deltas.
  • Configuration settings can now be overridden via environment variables.
  • Added optional systemd auto-start integration for deb and rpm packages, including support for starting multiple KasmVNC instances per user and improved upgrade and uninstall handling. (All supported distros include systemd except Alpine.)
  • Added openSUSE Leap 16 support.
  • Added Fedora 42 and 43 support. Retired support for Fedora 40 and 41.
  • Added Alpine 3.22 and 3.23 support. Retired support for Alpine 3.18, 3.19, and 3.20.
  • FFmpeg 8 compatibility — removed use of the deprecated avcodec_close API.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a window manager crash triggered by null clipboard data during UTF-8 to Latin-1 conversion.
  • Fixed a bug where closing a secondary monitor would close the entire client connection.
  • Improved client-side multi-monitor handling with a dedicated reference to the visible canvas.
  • Updated the default STUN public-IP behavior to avoid undesired external lookups.
  • Fixed Kali Linux image build failures.
  • Display dimensions are now rounded to 2 decimal places for cleaner UI presentation.
  • Enhanced small-screen responsiveness of the displays widget.
