# 2020-06-13: Version 0.9.13 0.9.13 truly is a cross-platform release, the best we've ever done in that respect: Out of the [49 issues](https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues?q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A%22Release+0.9.13%22) closed with this release, 20 alone were related to MS Windows. The result is that 0.9.13 is the first release with full support for Microsoft Windows! The cross-platform focused work did not end there tough: MacOS support was brought up from barebones to a fully working production-grade VNC server application. Other highlights are improvements regarding TLS in LibVNCClient, [SetDesktopSize](https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#setdesktopsize) support in LibVNCServer and a major cleanup of the project's documentation. Last but not least, 0.9.13 comes with the usual assortment of bugfixes and security improvements. ## Overall changes: * Small tweaks to the CMake build system. * The macOS server example was overhauled and is now the most feature-complete sample application of the project, ready for real-world use. * Lots of documentation updates and markdownifying. * The TravisCI continuous integration now also build-checks cross-compilation from Linux to Windows. * Setup a [Gitter community chat](https://gitter.im/LibVNC/libvncserver) for the project. ## LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient: * Both LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient now support an additional platform, namely Microsoft Windows. Building is supported with Visual Studio as well as MingGW. * The separate crypto routines used by LibVNCClient and LibVNCServer were refactored into an implementation common to both libraries. * Several security issues got fixed. * The bundled noVNC client is now at version 1.1.0 and included via a git submodule. ## LibVNCClient: * Added connect timeout as well as read timeout support thanks to Tobias Junghans. * Both TLS backends now do proper locking of network operations when multi-threaded thanks to Gaurav Ujjwal. * Fixed regression in Tight/Raw decoding introduced in 0.9.12 thanks to DRC. * Fixed encrypted connections to AnonTLS servers when using the OpenSSL back-end. Made possible by the profound research done by Gaurav Ujjwal. ## LibVNCServer: * Added a hooking function (`clientFramebufferUpdateRequestHook`) to deliver rfbFramebufferUpdateRequest messages from clients to the frame producer thanks to Jae Hyun Yoo. * Added SetDesktopSize/ExtendedDesktopSize support thanks to Floris Bos. * Added multi-threading support for MS Windows. * Fixed VNC repeater/proxy functionality that was broken in 0.9.12. * Fixed unstable WebSockets connections thanks to Sebastian Kranz. |
