PLANK 1.2.05

Changes since 1.1.039,
the previous published release. This includes the Ubuntu Qt Client, fullscreen
display selection, macOS click pairing and one Mac Host package for 26.7 and newer.

Client

  • Ubuntu now uses Qt streaming windows and direct PipeWire audio playback under the ordinary PLANK Client name. Existing bookmarks, settings and trusted Hosts are retained.
  • Run separate fullscreen sessions on separate monitors, or span one session across both. Select the displays per bookmark or switch fullscreen presentation from the toolbar.
  • New bookmarks default to Native (1:1 pixels). Existing scaling preferences are preserved.
  • Improve toolbar access in windowed sessions, restore clear icons, and remember a sensible window size when leaving fullscreen.
  • Recover automatically after temporary network interruptions, with Disconnect available while waiting.
  • Fix mouse-wheel scrolling in Linux desktop applications and false “Waiting for Workstation” warnings on idle desktops.
  • Improve Wacom USB recovery while preserving a healthy matching virtual tablet on the Host.
  • Improve Ubuntu audio timing and recovery from short playback shortages. Hardware audio/video synchronization still requires real-session observation.

Host

  • Improve first-click application switching on macOS by keeping mouse press, drag and release events paired.
  • Provide one Apple Silicon Host package for macOS 26.7 and newer, built with SDK27 and retaining newer macOS capabilities.
  • Build the Linux Host with CUDA 13.2 Update 2 for the qualified NVIDIA driver baseline, preserving existing codec profiles and GPU architecture support.

Packages and validation

  • Linux Host: Rocky Linux 9.7, x86-64 RPM.
  • Linux Client: Ubuntu 26.04, x86-64 DEB.
  • macOS Host: macOS 26.7 or newer, Apple Silicon PKG.
  • macOS Client: macOS 15 or newer, Apple Silicon PKG.

Package source is main commit a0dc5fae73d7e072d923b5fd499bdd8151313456.
The Linux Host,
Ubuntu Client,
macOS Host and
macOS Client
builds passed automated regression and package checks. Both Mac PKGs are
signed, notarized and stapled, with Gatekeeper checks passed.

The Ubuntu checks covered compositor behavior, multiple Client displays,
sanitizers, launchers and upgrades. The Linux Host passed three 900-frame FEC
loss tests with zero unrecovered source symbols; three real-kernel tablet tests
were unavailable on the builder. The Mac Host passed automated input fixtures
on the macOS 27 runner. Dependency caches were reused by all four builds.

SHA256SUMS uses the downloadable package filenames. manifest.json retains
package hashes, exact source revisions and build-validation status separately
from installed acceptance. Installed session validation of the identical Host
package on macOS 26.7 and 27 remains pending. Chris (cnoellert) owns the 26.7
testing; publication does not mark either result as passed. Exact-format
hardware decoding, Wacom/Flame use and long audio/video synchronization soaks
remain hardware checks, not results inferred from the hosted builds.

Unfinished native Apple Client work is outside this release. The deferred Intel
VA-API surface-timeout investigation is not claimed fixed. No machine is
automatically upgraded by publishing the packages.
