Recommended update for wayvnc


Type: recommended
Severity: moderate
Issued: 2025-01-22
Description:
This update for wayvnc fixes the following issues:

- Update to 0.9.1:

  * Fix buffer allocation on FreeBSD.

- Update to 0.9.0:

  * 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.
  * Output power management is now only enabled while capturing.

- Update to 0.8.0:

  Highlights:

  * Transient seats via the new ext-transient-seat-v1 protocol. These
    are not implemented in any compositor yet, but will hopefully
    be a part of sway 0.10
  * Automatic server-side resizing of headless outputs, by courtesy of Consolatis
  * Detached mode, which allows wayvnc to attach to and detach from a running compositor

  Bugfixes:

  * A crash when trying to attach to a non-wlroots compositor has been fixed.
    Attaching fails, but it doesn't crash.

- Update to 0.7.2:

  * Missing documentation for the websocket flag
  * Null-dereferencing when input is disabled
  * Out-of-bounds memory access when compositors submit out-of-bounds damage
  * Too strict authentication related config parameter sanitation

- Update to 0.7.1:

  * Fix version requirement for Neat VNC

- Update to 0.7.0:

  * Each client can now have its own seat, i.e. it's own cursor
    and separate keyboard focus
  * A new option to create a websocket instead of a regular TCP socket
  * Software pixel buffers with fewer bits per pixel than 32 are now supported
  * A new RSA based authentication method with encryption has been added
  * A config file can now reference files relative to the directory
    in which it resides
  * The unix-socket option is fixed
  * Various kinks in wayvncctl have been ironed out
