v0.9.1
v0.9.0
Highlights
- The new ext-image-copy-capture-v1 protocol has been implemented for output
capturing. - A file descriptor created by a parent process can be used for listening for
new connections, thanks to Attila Fidan. - Clipboard handling has been made more robust, thanks again to Attila Fidan.
- WayVNC can now allocate CMA backed pixel buffers. They are required for
hardware encoding on Raspberry Pi. - Keyboard LED state can be passed to clients.
See Neat VNC's release notes for more highlights.
Bug fixes
- Output power management is now only enabled while capturing.

Highlights
- Transient seats via the new
ext-transient-seat-v1protocol. These are not implemented in any compositor yet, but will hopefully be a part of sway 0.10 - Automatic server-side resizing of headless outputs, by courtesy of Consolatis
- Detached mode, which allows wayvnc to attach to and detach from a running compositor
Bugfixes
- A crash when trying to attach to a non-wlroots compositor has been fixed. Attaching fails, but it doesn't crash.
These have already been released as a part of the v0.7 branch, but they will also be enumerated here:
- Missing documentation for the websocket flag
- Null-dereferencing when input is disabled
- Out-of-bounds memory access when compositors submit out-of-bounds damage
- Too strict authentication related config parameter sanitation

v0.7.1
v0.7.0
As usual, most of the work takes place in Neat VNC, and there is more to see in the release notes for Neat VNC: https://github.com/any1/neatvnc/releases/tag/v0.7.0
Highlights
- Each client can now have its own seat, i.e. it's own cursor and separate keyboard focus
- A new option to create a websocket instead of a regular TCP socket
- Software pixel buffers with fewer bits per pixel than 32 are now supported, thanks to MazTheMan
- A new RSA based authentication method with encryption has been added

v0.6.2
v0.6.1
v0.6.0
Thanks to Jim Ramsay, we now have a new control command named wayvncctl that can be used to configure the server while it's running. A non-exhaustive list of new features that are enabled by this addition are the following:
- The captured output can be changed on the fly
- Connected clients can be listed and managed
- Various events can be monitored
See the man page for wayvncctl(1) for more information.
The control interface may change in future versions, and that includes the names of commands and events.
Highlights
- Control interface, mentioned above.
- Screen capturing is paused when no client is connected
- Screen capturing is paused for outputs that are powered off
- Horizontal scrolling
- Each client now gets its own set of virtual inputs. This helps with state tracking.
- Symbol to key code mapping now works better with xwayland
