TigerVNC 1.4.3 is now available. This release addresses the following issues:

• Upstream patches applied to the underlying Xorg code base to mitigate CVE-2015-0255.
• Fixes for performance regressions introduced in 1.4.0.
• Character encoding of clipboard text send by Java viewer now strictly adheres to the RFB specification.
• Mac OS X viewer is now packaged to meet Apple's latest code signing requirements. The TigerVNC app can now be installed on OS X 10.9+. Note that this change required upgrading the build server to OS X Yosemite, and all prerequisite libraries (FLTK, GnuTLS, etc.) have been upgraded.

TigerVNC 1.4.1

TigerVNC 1.4.1 is now available. This is release is in response to the recent Xorg Security Advisory. There are no known vulnerabilities in TigerVNC itself related to this advisory, however some of the changes to the Xorg codebase were not compatible with TigerVNC.

Additionally, the binary packages supplied by the TigerVNC team were built against vulnerable versions of Xorg. The EL6 and Ubuntu Precise & Trusty packages rely on their respective distribution to mitigate the Xorg CVEs. All of these packages have been rebuilt against the latest upstream Xorg source packages but are otherwise essentially unchanged from the 1.4.0 release. The generic and EL5 binaries were previously built against an older version Xorg to which the CVE patches could not be readily applied. As a result, the following changes were made to the generic and EL5 binaries:

• Version bump of underlying codebase to Xorg X11R7.7 (patched to mitigate all known CVEs).
• Previous versions linked against the system libGL. This led to issues when the system libGL was compiled differently or linked against incompatible libraries. Additionally, the swrast_dri.so library was installed to a location that could conflict with a system or vendor provided library of the same name. Beginning with the 1.4.1 release, the TigerVNC generic and EL5 binaries provide their own copy of libGL (installed under /usr/%{_libdir}/tigervnc/) in order to provide independence from the system libGL.

TigerVNC 1.4.0

TigerVNC 1.4.0 is now available. Lots of changes have been made since
the last release, but the highlights are:

• Colour map (aka indexed, palette) mode is largely removed. TigerVNC is still compatible with other VNC implementations, but you can no longer run Xvnc in colour map mode.
• Improvements to the keyboard handling both on the server and client
• Support for newer Xorg versions in the server build
• x0vncserver now supports XDamage for instant updates, making it slightly less useless
• WinVNC now works in service mode on newer Windows versions
• Better full screen mode for the Java client on OS X
• man pages should now be up to date
• Improved TLS implementation in the Java client
• Lots and lots of cleanups and bug fixes

Server IPv6 support was included in the beta but was unfortunately removed for the release as it required a bit more polish.
