• Core
  • Protocol errors during the initial authentication phase are handled more reliably. This fixes problems when connecting to incompatible servers accidentally.
• CLI
  • The plugin and feature modules have been added.
  • The config and shell plugins have been integrated as static modules.
• Plugins
  • Demo: The visual feedback when (re-)connecting has been redesigned.
  • DesktopServices: The Run program feature has been renamed to Start application.
  • RemoteAccess: The visual feedback when (re-)connecting has been redesigned.
  • RemoteAccess: The computer connection of the main window is reused if available resulting in immediate access to the remote computer.
  • RemoteAccess: The remote cursor is no longer used in view only mode to prevent occasionally observed render artifacts.
  • UserSessionControl: Non-user sessions (such as display manager/login screen sessions) are no longer terminated by the user logoff feature.
  • WebAPI: An error code has been added to report protocol errors occuring while connecting to the Veyon Server.
  • WebAPI: The connection limit is enforced at the HTTP server level already to properly report the connection limit reached error instead of timing out.
  • WebAPI: Skip ping for hosts which no connection could be established to. This allows using a higher connection limit on Linux when the number of open file descriptors is limited.
• Master
  • In addition to the hostname, the computer display name is shown in the tooltip of a computer.
  • A computer's screen is shown in fullscreen and realtime while pressing and holding the left mouse button on a computer.
  • For Linux clients, [no user] is displayed as the user name instead of the name of the display manager user.
• Server
  • Hostnames of connected computers (shown in the tooltip of the tray icon) are now reverse resolved in background to keep connections responsive.
• Linux
  • SHM support is being detected more reliably.
  • Logging off users is now initiated properly through the environment-specific session manager while systemd-logind is used as fallback only. This fixes the display manager (especially GDM3) not being shown again after logoff.
  • Reboot and power down via systemd-logind has been improved while the environment-specific session manager is used as fallback only. The reboot and poweroff binaries are not used any longer.
• Windows
  • The 3rdparty component UltraVNC has been updated to the latest version.
  • The new Active session mode has been implemented.
  • Querying local and domain user groups has been improved to share more code in common and log more details in case of errors.
  • The Veyon Service additionally depends on the LanmanWorkstation and LSM services to improve reliability on start.
  • Several 3rdparty libraries have been updated (Qt 5.12.11 snapshot, OpenSSL 1.1.1l, TurboJPEG 2.1.1)
