v5.0.9

• Encodings:
  • video encoding errors causing missed screen updates
  • drop alpha if requested and for video encoders
  • konsole is a text application
  • smarter auto refresh encoding selection
  • X264 warning intra-refresh is not compatible with open-gop
  • openh264 decoder self test
  • Pillow 10 supports memoryview buffers
• Platforms, build and packaging:
  • arm64 and riscv builds can timeout adding build info, and generating the documentation
  • saner source information defaults
  • more simple / reliable OpenGL pixel format attributes on MacOS
  • MS Windows usernames should also be using strings
  • Cython compilation warnings
  • CI: build test with Python 3.6 and 3.12
  • missing explicit cairo dependency
  • RPM revision number missing
• Major:
  • handle downscaled video correctly without OpenGL
  • Gtk crashes on exit
  • OpenGL check failures on X11
  • OpenGL check failures on MS Windows when executed from GUI tools
  • sync-xvfb not honoured
  • replace dead ssh agent symlinks
  • validate http request hostname before sending it back
  • guess content type from commands
  • ssh channel pollution
  • incorrect client exit code with Python 3.10 and earlier, don't convert enums to strings, correct matching type hints
  • libyuv converter cannot scale YUV444P
  • ffmpeg decoder can accept images with dimensions rounded down to a multiple of 2, same for swscale
  • audio source plugins not found
  • client startup failures caused by dbus
  • updated run_scaled script
  • use the dynamic speed and quality assigned for video encoders
  • proxy compression broken
• Minor:
  • fix parsing of scaling values as percentages
  • fix ssl unit test, use SSL specific error codes
  • case-insensitive window role matching
  • splash screen communication errors due to unexpected characters
  • splash screen can exit cleanly
  • standlone bug report tool cannot exit cleanly
  • never try to start a display in proxy or shadow modes
  • do verify that the display is available in monitor mode
  • prevent audio DoS in the future
  • help video decodes with colorspace metadata
  • handle decoding of full-range YUV
  • sync-xvfb requires cairo
  • blacklist llvmpipe software OpenGL renderer but probe server opengl properties anyway
  • allow printing with more socket authentication modules
  • map Visual Studio Code to text
  • isolate failures to show or hide a window
  • bump openh264 bitstream level
  • only reparent windows if needed but always send ConfigureNotify
  • full self-tests for jpeg decoder
  • openh264 encoder should set the frame number
• Cosmetic:
  • don't spam the logs because of a pyxdg bug
  • clearer audio error message
  • clearer ssh error message
  • use a consistent shebang
  • file upload deprecation warnings
  • fail fast when testing decoders with junk data
  • documentation dead link
  • make version checks more robust
  • skip warning about missing amf gstreamer elements
  • docstring: server configuration file applies to all servers
  • remove X11 keyword from desktop files
  • potential future issues: variable name shadowing, memoryview handling, strict type
  • unused statements
  • linter warning and consistency, consistent return value
  • ignore 'noabstract' v6 bind option + fixup
  • fix unit tests: enable previously broken tests, faulty backport
  • downgrade Wayland warning
  • explicit return statement
  • warn users about deprecated syntax
  • discord link had expired
  • codec self tests, skip tests without sample data
  • pam authentication error messages, twice
  • prevent future MacOS Gdk Pixbuf path errors
  • log full details with all threaded initialization errors
  • match function signature
