[Spice-devel] Announcing spice 0.13.0 UNSTABLE release

[Christophe Fergeau]

Hey everyone,

As witnessed by the activity on the mailing list, in the last months we
have been merging quite a lot of patches that had accumulated over time.
These patches are doing much needed cleanup to spice-server codebase.
This 0.13.0 release is the first release containing these cleanups.
THIS IS AN UNSTABLE RELEASE. It's meant as a checkpoint of the work
going on, and will let early testers try it out. Bugs can be reported on
our bugzilla on https://bugs.freedesktop.org

A stable 0.12 branch and a 0.12.7 release will follow soon without all
the code movement/cleanup, but with the various bugfixes that went in
since the 0.12.6 release.


Major changes in 0.13.0:
========================

*** IMPORTANT ***
The 0.13.x release series is an unstable release series, if you are looking for
stability for daily use, please use the latest 0.12.x release. We are trying to
keep the code as functional as 0.12, but regressions or bugs could still happen.

* Start of a large code rework to attempt to make the codebase more
  maintainable. With this first release, the huge red_worker.c file has been split
  in multiple smaller files.

* Added public spice_server_set_keepalive_timeout() to make it possible
  to tweak keepalive on all SPICE connection. This can prevent unwanted
  idle disconnections if proxies are used between the client and the host.
* Fix important memory usage when the webdav channel is used
* Do not disconnect when the client requests an unsupported compression type
* Fix potential race condition when using multiple QXL devices
* Fix display glitch when using XSpice
* Improve help string for 'replay -s'
* Fix crashes in corner cases (buggy spice-html5 + win10, vnc + SPICE port
  configured, USB webcam redirection over a slow link)
* Fix various compilation warning when building on 32 bit machines
* Do not build static libraries by default, this can be reenabled with
  --enable-static
* Fix small leak in MJPEG code
