Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
> Current RHEL 8.3 package version:
1.10.1
> Future RHEL 8.4 package version:
1.11.0
> Is the RHEL 8.4 package version final or do we expect another additional update before the deadline for rebases (ITM 11)? If so, please tell us why.
It is final and I do not expect any additional changes.
> Reasons why we are rebasing (security fixes/features (please specify)):
Security fixes and improvements in systemd support, which we already have in form of a backported patch.
> Changelog between the old RHEL version and a new one:
From the upstream changelog:
* A security issue has been fixed in how the viewers handle TLS certificate exceptions
* vncserver has gotten a major redesign to be compatible with modern distributions
* The native viewer now has touch gestures to handle certain mouse actions (e.g. scroll wheel)
* Middle mouse button emulation in the native viewer, for devices with only two mouse buttons
* The Java viewer now supports Java 9+, but also now requires Java 8+
* Support for alpha cursors in the Java viewer (a feature already supported in the native viewer)
* The password and username can now be specified via the environment for the native viewer
* Support for building Xvnc/libvnc.so with Xorg 1.20.7+ and deprecate support for Xorg older than 1.16
> What other RHEL packages will be affected by this rebase (rebased/tested)?
No other packages should be affected
> Are there any risks related to the rebase?
There shouldn't be any risk. The major change with systemd support is already present in RHEL 8.3.
