wayvnc

This patch release fixes typos in the man page, string truncation issues in the control ipc code and various issues with detached mode.

Highlights

• Multiple outputs can now be captured using the --desktop flag. They will all be composited into one large framebuffer based on the compositor's layout.
• It is now possible to listen on multiple endpoints by setting multiple listening addresses. See the man page for more information.
• A custom desktop name can now be set thanks to Attila Fidan. The desktop name is usually displayed in the title bar or the VNC client.
• Legacy DES authentication has been implemented by Andrian Budantsov along with support for older versions including 3.3 and 3.7. This allows people to connect using legacy software such as Remote Desktop on Mac OS.
• The forward and back mouse buttons should now work on clients that support them.

This release fixes buffer allocation on FreeBSD.

Highlights

• The new ext-image-copy-capture-v1 protocol has been implemented for output capturing.
• A file descriptor created by a parent process can be used for listening for new connections, thanks to Attila Fidan.
• Clipboard handling has been made more robust, thanks again to Attila Fidan.
• WayVNC can now allocate CMA backed pixel buffers. They are required for hardware encoding on Raspberry Pi.
• Keyboard LED state can be passed to clients.

See Neat VNC's release notes for more highlights.

Bug fixes

• Output power management is now only enabled while capturing.
