This is a second attempt at a bug fix release for the security issue in x0vncserver. The TigerVNC 1.16.1 release unfortunately had all fixes except the security fix.

Apologies for the extra noise and confusion.

The bug fix release TigerVNC 1.16.1 is now available. This release is primarily a security release to fix an issue in x0vncserver, where other users can observe and manipulate the screen contents. Users of x0vncserver are advised to update immediately.

The release also contains a fix for using the Plain security type with the new w0vncserver, as well as some translation updates.

• The native viewer now supports sending system keys even in windowed mode
• Added a new server called w0vncserver for sharing Wayland desktops
• The Java viewer has more fine-grained control of scaling the session
• The native viewer uses a different method to intercept system keys on macOS, which will require explicit user approval
• The native viewer has an improved server field, with searchable history
• The native viewer now intercepts and forwards all¹ system keys on Windows
• The native viewer is now more responsive when resizing the remote session
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 packages have been added, although without libvnc.so
