WayVNC 0.10 Released For Advancing This Leading VNC Server For Wayland

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 28 April 2026 at 05:43 AM EDT. 37 Comments
WayVNC 0.10 is out today as the newest feature release for this VNC server that works with Wayland compositors leveraging the wlroots library.

With WayVNC 0.10, multiple outputs can now be captured via the program's "--desktop" flag and those multiple display outputs then merged into one large frame-buffer based upon the compositor's layout.

WayVNC also now has support for listening on multiple endpoints, support for setting a custom desktop name that is then displayed on the title bar of the VNC client, and forward/back mouse button support with capable VNC clients.

WayVNC 0.10 also implemented legacy DES authentication support in order to work with legacy software like macOS' Remote Desktop.

WayVNC is developed on GitHub for downloads and all the details on the WayVNC 0.10 milestone.

Also released today by the same developer is NeatVNC 1.0 as the first stable version of this liberally-licensed VNC server library with a clean interface. NeatVNC gets its name from trying to be fast and neat.
