TigerVNC 1.14.0 Beta

A beta of TigerVNC 1.14.0 is now available. Lots of changes have been made since
the last release, but the highlights are:

• Xvnc now supports hardware accelerated OpenGL and Vulkan on drivers that supports GBM¹
• The viewers and servers now follow the XDG Base Directory Specification, like "~/.config", for storing files in the home directory. Existing users will continue using the legacy "~/.vnc" directory, but new users will get the XDG directories.
• The native viewer now supports Apple's Diffie-Hellman and UltraVNC's MSLogonII authentication methods
• The Java viewer now supports RealVNC's RSA-AES authentication method
• Ubuntu 24.04 packages have been added
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Ubuntu 18.04 packages have been removed as they are EOL
• The native viewer has received a mild refresh of the UI appearance
• Reverse connections can now be forced to be view-only
• The special "%u" marker can be specified for "PlainUsers" to dynamically indicate the user running the server
• vncserver can be run without forking for better compatibility with more system service managers
• x0vncserver now supports systemd socket activation

¹ FOSS drivers and newer Nvidia drivers
