The SPICE remote display system developed by Red Hat is up to version 0.14.3 with some important additions.
The simple protocol for independent computing environments (SPICE) is an important part of the Linux desktop virtualization stack and supported by the likes of KVM / QEMU, Xspice and oVirt. With SPICE 0.14.3, support for Microsoft Windows guests is now supported.
This Windows functionality allows you to build the Windows QEMU version with SPICE support and everything should “work” for remote viewing. The other big change is WebSockets support for the SPICE-HTML5 code path by now allowing it to work without the need for a proxy.
SPICE 0.14.3 also offers fixes for ARM hard-float and POWER PPC64EL, fixes for large endian systems such as MIPS, crash fixes for buggy guest drivers, support for querying available video codecs and various other fixes.
SPICE 0.14.3 and the full list of highlights for this version are available via FreeDesktop.org.
