| | 8 | === 0.15.0 Release === |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | It took a lot longer than planned, but it is finally here and we think it was worth the wait. |
| | 11 | The fact that the 0.14 LTS branch will continue to be supported for a while allows us to drop compatibility with older platforms, remove workarounds and the ugly code that goes with it. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Here are the most noteworthy features and changes: |
| | 14 | * [/wiki/Clients/HTML5 HTML5 Client] has been thoroughly re-worted by Josh Higgins, you can test drive it here: [http://xpra.org/html5/connect.html]. |
| | 15 | * [/wiki/Printing Printer forwarding]: you should be able to print on your local printer from a remote session |
| | 16 | * [/wiki/Encodings/nvenc NVENC]: |
| | 17 | * support for SDK versions 4 and 5 (newer cards and drivers) |
| | 18 | * Lossless mode |
| | 19 | * YUV444 mode (no colour subsampling) |
| | 20 | * libvpx 1.4 and VP9 support (#832): with the proper configuration, VP9 is now competitive with x264 and allows us to provide a fast and free-software compatible encoding! |
| | 21 | * Remote client logging (#786): forwards the client's log messages to the server (enabled by default with OSX and MS Windows clients, but disabled in the default server configuration) |
| | 22 | * Window management (#775 and many other tickets): still working towards a more standards compliant window manager implementation |
| | 23 | * the OSX build is now automated using modulesets based on [http://www.gtk.org/download/macos.php gtk-osx]'s + [https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Jhbuild jhbuild], so it is now much easier to get going - many thanks to Stephen Gauthier |
| | 24 | * Python 3 support (#640 - ongoing): you can now build the xpra client for either Python 2.x or Python 3, the RPM packaging has been updated accordingly. (this remains a work in progress, especially on MS Windows and OSX) |
| | 25 | * Older platforms have been dropped (you should continue to use the 0.14.x branch for those): |
| | 26 | * centos 5.x because of its older Python 2.4 |
| | 27 | * Ubuntu Precise and Debian Wheezy: we no longer support those versions of libav (though it is still possible to build and run xpra without it) |
| | 28 | * Sound is now handled out of process, which makes it more reliable (#669 fixes some crashes with the clipboard) and less susceptible to latency jitters in the main process (and we should have audio-video synchronization in the next release: #839) |
| | 29 | * Picture encoding improvements, ie: multi-delta regions (#756 minimizes the bandwidth used by browsers unnecessarily repainting the screen) |
| | 30 | * You can now start new commands in an existing session from the tray (#638 - this is disabled by default), or via the "xpra control" interface |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | There are many other changes under the hood too, too many to list here. |
