TigerVNC 1.14.0 is now available. The most prominent changes in this release are:

  • Xvnc now supports hardware accelerated OpenGL and Vulkan on drivers that supports GBM¹
  • The viewers and servers now follow the XDG Base Directory Specification, like "~/.config", for storing files in the home directory. Existing users will continue using the legacy "~/.vnc" directory, but new users will get the XDG directories.
  • The native viewer now supports Apple's Diffie-Hellman and UltraVNC's MSLogonII authentication methods
  • The Java viewer now supports RealVNC's RSA-AES authentication method
  • Ubuntu 24.04 packages have been added
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Ubuntu 18.04 packages have been removed as they are EOL
  • The native viewer has received a mild refresh of the UI appearance
  • Reverse connections can now be forced to be view-only
  • The special "%u" marker can be specified for "PlainUsers" to dynamically indicate the user running the server
  • vncserver can be run without forking for better compatibility with more system service managers
  • x0vncserver now supports systemd socket activation

¹ FOSS drivers and newer Nvidia drivers
