Report expected and current protocol versions through the transport
interface and expose session-independent recovery operations.
Offer recovery from the version mismatch popup, publish requests through
the reserved IVSHMEM channel, and select the validated SPICE fallback.
Register SPICE connection and component options in the SPICE transport.
Move generic input and clipboard settings out of the SPICE namespace,
while retaining migration aliases for existing configurations.
Keep PureSpice and usbredir build requirements private to the transport,
and remove obsolete SPICE configuration state from the client core.
Rework audio provider and backend lifecycles so playback and capture
callbacks quiesce without blocking real-time threads. Move activation,
teardown, controls, retries, and diagnostics onto bounded workers.
Harden USB audio cadence, feedback, and capture recovery.
Preserve source clocks through recording and pace packets from the
device clock. Bound queues, waits, conversion buffers, and packet sizes.
Make PipeWire and PulseAudio stream control thread-safe and recoverable.
Correct latency clock domains, coalesce rate updates, preserve recent
capture under overload, and keep logging outside real-time callbacks.
Add a composite UAC2 microphone function with its own clock so
recording and playback can use independent sample rates.
Packetize asynchronous capture through usbredir, follow the host
capture clock, and preserve the newest frames across stalls.
Reconfigure active recording without another permission prompt and
fix lost PipeWire capture wakeups.
Advertise an asynchronous UAC2 OUT endpoint with explicit feedback so
Windows paces USB audio from the host playback clock.
Drive feedback from measured backend consumption plus the existing
buffer phase controller. Preserve the local and backend resampler paths
for providers without active feedback.
Keep audio diagnostics in the correct clock domains, report ring and
backend latency separately, and avoid hot-path feedback wakeups.
Route clipboard exchange through a provider interface. Connected
transports take priority while SPICE remains the fallback.
Track asynchronous X11 and Wayland transfers by request, preserving
clipboard ownership across provider changes.
Use PureSpice clipboard status notifications for capability and
lifecycle updates.
Route audio through a provider interface. Connected transports take
priority while SPICE remains the fallback.
Carry explicit sample formats, rates, channel layouts, and source clocks
through playback and recording. Add optional presentation clock feedback
for active synchronization.
Map the remaining Linux mouse buttons through Wayland and evdev.
Use one X11 translation for cooked and raw press and release events.
Ignore unsupported horizontal scrolling and extended SPICE buttons.
Use the LGMP input queue when the host advertises transport input,
while preserving SPICE fallback through the existing input abstraction.
Claim input lazily, publish ordered full-state keyboard and mouse
reports without blocking rendering, and keep the owner lease alive.
Reserve queue capacity for discrete transitions, coalesce only motion
under pressure, and release ownership safely during idle and disconnect.
Keep the Linux-to-HID map in the client and update LGMP to the
nonblocking data-send API required by the input worker.
Introduce LG_InputOps and route keyboard and mouse input through the
active video transport when it provides an input backend.
Keep SPICE as the fallback and force it while the SPICE display is
active. Add atomic shared/exclusive locking for safe backend changes.
Track cadence, interruption, and calibration wake reasons independently
across X11 and Wayland. Feed phase correction back only when a pure
cadence wake renders the exact frame that was queued at that wake.
Propagate EGL swap results through the display-server boundary. Reject
failed presentations and keep pending Wayland HDR descriptions inactive
until the preceding surface commit succeeds.
Bump KVMFR to version 28 and attach generation, epoch, and deadline
identities to cadence deliveries and their timing records.
Accept phase corrections only for the exact completed publication. Keep
VM and client clocks independent by exchanging relative phase errors.
Make submission, completion, and work-estimate accounting best effort
so scheduler state cannot delay GPU submission or frame publication.
Copy imported IVSHMEM frames into renderer-owned textures before
acknowledging their LGMP messages. Hold each lease until its copy fence
signals, and protect selected snapshots until rendering completes.
Track independent delivery lanes, drain acknowledgements on the frame
thread, and recover stale queue subscriptions after host timeouts.
Move splash transitions onto the render thread and derive opacity from
elapsed monotonic time. Pace active animation at a display-compatible
minimum of 60 Hz while allowing incoming frames to satisfy that demand.
Reset the splash cleanly across reconnects and latch state changes with
the full-frame restoration decision.
Mark the active fade as requiring a fully restored render target.
This also covers guest-driven renders between animation ticks so they
cannot blend over stale splash content.
Correlate received frames with the texture update actually consumed by
the renderer and retain damage until its token becomes renderable.
Split client latency into dispatch, import, queue, preparation, setup,
effects, desktop, composition, and swap stages in FRAME LATENCY.
Exclude diagnostic overlay work from composition and preserve client
wait time when producer timing is unavailable.
Publish joined samples through a bounded token queue, avoid sleeping
while producer timing is finalized, and correct Wayland photon units.
Add an optional EGL framebuffer capture path for the test transport.
Capture the fully composed frame before presentation and retain its
surface format and HDR state for validation.
Add GoogleTest integration tests which run the production client
under a headless Weston compositor and compare every output pixel
against an independent reference implementation.
The matrix covers BGRA, RGBA, BGR32, RGB24, PQ RGBA10 and scRGB
RGBA16F with full, moving, overlapping, maximum-count, invalid, null
and zero-area damage rectangles. Validate HDR-to-SDR conversion and
native HDR output metadata when supported by the compositor.
Keep tests opt-in through ENABLE_RENDER_TESTS and document how to run
the software and native HDR tiers.
Move shared-memory ownership, LGMP session handling, queue access, and
DMA setup behind a transport interface. The LGMP backend preserves the
existing zero-copy frame and DMA paths while owning its lgmp:* options.
Expose the initialized EGL context through a versioned renderer interop
record for future accelerated decode backends. Add an LGMP-independent,
deterministic test transport for graphics-pipeline validation.
Model playback latency from the device period, arrival jitter, source
packet phase, and resampler delay. Treat audio:latencyOffset as an
explicit addition to this minimum and align the first device pull to
the next packet deadline. This starts playback near its steady-state
target without unnecessary prefill or startup underruns. Use a
512-frame default period as a practical low-latency baseline.
Replace the startup clock hold with a one-sided proportional
acquisition controller, then hand off to source/device rate
feed-forward and a slow phase loop. Calibrate the logical device
timeline at handoff, discard correction that opposes the current
error, and slew-limit rate changes. This prevents startup drain,
integral wind-up, overshoot, and long convergence while preserving
clock-drift compensation.
Allow audio backends to expose a real-time resampler and use
PipeWire's adaptive resampler when version 1.4 or newer supports it.
Retain libsamplerate as the fallback and add audio:resampler to select
the implementation. Wait for PipeWire stream setup to complete and
propagate rate-control failures cleanly.
Track PipeWire input-consumption and output-equivalent clocks
separately. The input clock measures ring latency while the output
clock drives feed-forward using the ratio that governed each request.
This removes delayed self-feedback that made adaptive resampling
oscillate between the correction limits.
Reduce audio:debug output to useful latency, clock, jitter, and xrun
values, and scale the playback graph from the startup estimate. Update
the option names and documentation for the new latency model.
