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

Binaries are available from SourceForge:
