Hi,
This new release is an exciting one, it contains many under-the-hood
changes that let to tangible improvements, as well as some visual changes.
The most important changes started with the modularization work and
ended with the removal of Gtk from the X11 seamless server.
This was not just about removing a thick and mostly unused dependency
layer, this change allows us to run the seamless X11 server on MacOS and
MS Windows platforms.
Now granted, there aren't many native X11 applications you can run on
these platforms, but there is nothing preventing you from running the
X11 applications in a container or VM.
This release is currently the only non-beta build that contains the
updated libpng library which fixes some serious CVEs:
https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/4722
Security conscious users should update as soon as possible, because one
of these CVEs looks fairly easy to exploit.
A new LTS release will follow shortly to address this vulnerability.
There is now also a work-in-progress wayland seamless server, which
should reach the point where it is actually usable for anything more
fancy than a terminal in the near future.
For the full list of changes, see the v6.4 release notes:

Cheers,
Antoine
