# KasmVNC 1.4.0 [https://docs.kasmvnc.com/docs/release_notes/1.4.0](https://docs.kasmvnc.com/docs/release_notes/1.4.0) ## Features * Upgraded libwebp version to 1.5.0. * Significant reduction of CPU usage through more efficient multi-threading. * Added command line argument [webpEncodingTime](../configuration.md#encoding) as a weighted value that determines how much webp is used to balance bandwidth and CPU usage. * Added user connection/disconnection client notifications for shared session participants. * Added get_sessions API endpoint that returns a list of users connect to a shared session. * Updated to C++ 20 standard and gcc versions for builds. * Added [network.udp.payload_size](../configuration.md#network) to kasm yaml configuration. * Added build for Debian Trixie. * Reduced memory usage on the client-side browser. * Added support for the Keyboard API for Chromium based browsers. * Added multi-threaded asynchronous decoding of image rects, increasing client-side performance. * Added support for the [Kasm Smart Card Bridge](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kasm-smart-card-bridge/cjkohjfgidilbllbjkdhpoeonjanpomo?hl=en-US&utm_source=ext_sidebar) extension for Chrome. Allows for passing through a local smart card to remote Kasm sessions. ## Bug Fixes * Fixed bug with watermark not getting displayed in certain scenarios. * Fixed bug with case sensitivity of HTTP headers. * Fixed bug with the downloads API not escaping certain characters in returned json. * Fixed bug causing a segmentation fault on the get_screenshot API handler in certain conditions. * Bug fixes with multi-monitor, adding and removing displays. * Fix bug with secondary display still showing content after session disconnect in certain scenarios. * Fixed bug with Ctrl key not working on foreign language keyboards with Chromium based browsers. * Fix bug with secondary display interaction not counting toward interaction with respect to the idle disconnect setting. * Fixed memory leak in Firefox. * Fixed bug with Firefox displaying scrollbars at odd resolutions. * Fixes to Korean translations. * Multiple fixes to IME foreign language support. * Fixed a race condition causing an error message to be displayed erroneously on the client.
# KasmVNC 1.3.4 https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/1.3.4/index.html ## Features * Add Fedora 41 support. * Add Alpine 3.21 support. * Full-fledged apk packages for Alpine (kasmvcserver and kasmvcserver-doc). * Add configuration key `network.udp.payload_size`. * Remove support for distro versions that reached end-of-life. ## Bug Fixes * Fedora: add missing dependency on `hostname`. * Debian: add missing dependency on `libdatetime-perl`. * Remove webpack to reduce security vulnerabilities. * Special characters in filenames are now properly escaped, preventing invalid JSON
# KasmVNC 1.3.2 https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/1.3.2/index.html ## Features * Small performance tweaks to DRI3 support. ## Bug Fixes * Disable seamless clipboard on Firefox by default, due to the Firefox overlaying a 'Paste' menu over the canvas. * Fixed [CVE-2024-38449](#254), directory traversal bug in built-in webserver. The vulnerability required credentials and did not provide access to files the user didn't already have access to inside of the KasmVNC session. This vulnerability was not exposed or exploitable for sessions served by Kasm Workspaces and only applies to the use of KasmVNC outside of Kasm Workspaces. * Allow for larger header sizes, up to 16k. Provide better logging and handling for requests that contain HTTP headers that are larger than the 16k limit. * Fixed memory leak in kasmproxy * Fixed mime types of downloads to ensure the browser interprets them as downloads.
## Bug Fixes * Fix exception thrown on Firefox 124 and higher * Fix artifacts on high resolution secondary screens * Fixes for touch support on primary and secondary screens * Fix for Oculus keyboard input * Fixes random characters injected as keyboard inputs when scrolling on secondary screen.
## Features * Support for [multiple monitors](../clientside.md#displays). * Increased performance when watermarking is enabled. * Added support for Fedora 39. * Added support for Alphine 319. * Allow special characters in username. * Better logging of client settings when client connects or changes settings. * Add rotation of [text-based watermark](../configuration.md#data-loss-prevention). ## Bug Fixes * WebRTC UDP transit mode not working on 1.2.0.
## Features * Add support for [Unix relays](https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/1.2.0/developer_api.html#unix-relay) for bidirectional communication between noVNC and containerized applications. * Text based [watermark](https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/1.2.0/configuration.html#watermark) overlays with date and time support. * New builds for Bookworm, Alpine 3.18, and Fedora 38. * Multi-language support. * Add support for rendering pixmaps via [DRI3 GPU acceleration](https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/1.2.0/gpu_acceleration.html) allowing compositing and other 3d accelerated workloads in a KasmVNC session. ## Bug Fixes * Fix [crash](#172) that can occur. * Fixed tearing when compositing is enabled with [DRI3 hardware acceleration](https://www.kasmweb.com/kasmvnc/docs/1.2.0/gpu_acceleration.html). * Fix stuck command key on MacOS clients.
