YServer 1.6.0 has been released, enhancing the Rust X11 server with TCP transport, session reset, and XDMCP negotiation, making it suitable for shared networked desktops as a replacement for Xorg. These features, although off by default, allow remote display managers to operate YServer displays similarly to thin clients with Xorg. The release also includes numerous rendering and GLX fixes to improve compatibility with various desktop environments and window managers. While the new capabilities are significant, the project maintains that YServer is not a complete port of Xorg, intentionally leaving out IPv6 and host access control for security and simplicity

YServer 1.6.0: Rust X11 Server Adds Networked Multi-User Login and XDMCP Support

YServer 1.6.0 has been released today, adding TCP transport, session reset, and XDMCP negotiation so it can replace Xorg in shared, networked desktops. The three headline capabilities let a remote display manager drive a YServer display the way a thin client logs in through Xorg. Both new features ship off by default, with IPv6, host access control, and GLX over TCP left unimplemented for now. Alongside those gains, the release packs a batch of rendering and GLX fixes that improve compatibility with picom, awesome, i3, KDE Plasma, and QtWebEngine.
