Hello fellow Guacamole enthusiasts,
We recently merged a massive rewrite of the way guacamole-server handles
rendering that *should* improve responsiveness, framerate, and bandwidth
usage in several cases. The change specifically affects the VNC and RDP
protocol support.
If anyone is interested in testing, please do. The branch containing
these changes is "staging/1.6.0":
https://github.com/apache/guacamole-server/tree/staging/1.6.0
These changes do not depend on anything in guacamole-client, but please
by all means test the "staging/1.6.0" branch of that, too, if you feel
up to the task.
Beware that part of these changes adds support for the RDP "Graphics
Pipeline Extension" (GUACAMOLE-377). This is generally a good thing, but
testing has shown that XRDP's implementation of this uses lossy
compression more often than the Windows RDP implementation, resulting in
the new scroll detection not recognizing things as well as otherwise. If
using XRDP, I would recommend using the "staging/1.6.0" version of
guacamole-client, as well, and selecting the "Disable Graphics Pipeline
Extension" option in the connection settings. It's otherwise enabled by
default.
