Xpra-html-vue

Brings xpra-html5 to Vue.js (Vue3 + Webpack 5), and throw away those old stuffs (jQuery ...).

Benefits:

• Modern Javascript syntax
• Modern browser function (WebCodecs, Media Source Extensions, OffscreenCanvas, ...)
• Never reinventing the wheel
• Easily comprehensible
• Easily maintaining and extending
• Easily integrated with other system

Compatibility:

• This project has been tested on Xpra server version v4.3.2, and may not work on previous version.
• Tested on Firefox (99.0.1), Chrome (99.0.4). IE is not supported at all and you know why.
• Mobile browser is not fully supported.

Working in progress:

• Printing
• Scale
• File transfer
• Connection settings
• Auto reconnect

Some details you may care about:

• bencode is removed because it does not distinguish bytes and strings.
• rencodelegacy is removed because of bad performance.
• packet_encoder is immutable because only rencodeplus is supported.
• Only support parsing protocol data in Web Worker mode
• Only support painting in decode_worker mode
• Bug report is removed
• Floating menu is removed
• Broadway decoder is removed
• Aurora decoder is removed
• clipboard_targets only support plain text to reduce the complexity
• clipboard.selections removed PRIMARY
• Invisible pasteboard is removed

Known bugs (xpra-html5 also has these problems):

• Unable to fetch clipboard data from server (but pushing works fine)
• Unable to type accents (éèêëẽ)
• Unable to use IME (Input Method)
• Unable to copy-cut-paste non-ascii characters

Only xpra-html5-vue have these problems:

• Unable to use authentication/encryption
• Incorrect position of override-redirect windows (seems the server sent wrong x,y value)

Only xpra-html5 have these problems:

• Maximize a window and refresh the tab, then unable to restore the maximized window (stored original size is discarded)

If you know how to fix them, don't hesitate to submit your PRs! :)
