I’m working hard to release the new version 2025.1 of both TMD Viewer and TMD Server. Among the most notable improvements, there will be support for Wayland on Linux and extended support for the older versions of Windows.
About Wayland, I was able to maintain the paradigm that allows TMD to run on any Linux distro with a single build on CentOS 7. From now on, Wayland will be used 100% instead of Xwayland. Wayland will be dynamically detected at runtime and used only if available, even in older versions of Linux, starting from compositor version 4 (which covers up to CentOS 8). If not available, X11 will be used instead. To maintain the highest degree of compatibility, I decided to introduce a cross-platform client-side window decoration system (with a look similar to Windows 10) that will be used everywhere, even on X11 and Windows. The new TMD Server will work under Wayland desktop capturing the screens thanks to the PipeWire+Portal add-on instead of giving a black screen, as in the current 2025.0 version.
TMD Viewer 2025.1 will be compatible with extremely old versions of 32-bit Windows, like Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, while version 2025.0 is limited to 64-bit Windows 8. To summarize, 2025.1 will run on 32/64 bit Windows Vista, Windows 7 / 8 / 10 / 11, Windows Server 2008 / 2012 / 2016 / 2019 / 2022 / 2025.
