v0.5.0

The most significant addition for this release is H.264 encoding via the
Open H.264 RFB protocol extension. Clients that have implemented Open H.264
at this time are TigerVNC and wlvncc, of which only the latter uses hardware
accelerated decoding.

H.264 encoding is hardware accelerated and requires the --gpu command line
flag to be enabled. It isn't particularly useful without hardware acceleration,
so it's better to stick with "Tight" encoding if you don't have GPU rendering.

Highlights

  • H.264 Encoding
  • Input can now be disabled
  • UNIX Sockets
  • Screen-capturing via DMA-BUF is now a command line flag (--gpu)
  • Improved logging and error messages
