libvncserver: Update to 0.9.13
# 2020-06-13: Version 0.9.13
0.9.13 truly is a cross-platform release, the best we've ever done in that respect:
Out of the [49 \
issues](https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues?q=is%3Aclosed+milestone%3A%22Release+0.9.13%22)
closed with this release, 20 alone were related to MS Windows. The result is \
that 0.9.13
is the first release with full support for Microsoft Windows! The cross-platform \
focused
work did not end there tough: MacOS support was brought up from barebones to a \
fully working
production-grade VNC server application. Other highlights are improvements \
regarding TLS
in LibVNCClient, \
[SetDesktopSize](https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#setdesktopsize)
support in LibVNCServer and a major cleanup of the project's documentation. Last \
but not
least, 0.9.13 comes with the usual assortment of bugfixes and security improvements.
## Overall changes:
* Small tweaks to the CMake build system.
* The macOS server example was overhauled and is now the most feature-complete \
sample
application of the project, ready for real-world use.
* Lots of documentation updates and markdownifying.
* The TravisCI continuous integration now also build-checks cross-compilation from
Linux to Windows.
* Setup a [Gitter community chat](https://gitter.im/LibVNC/libvncserver) for \
the project.
## LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient:
* Both LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient now support an additional platform, namely
Microsoft Windows. Building is supported with Visual Studio as well as MingGW.
* The separate crypto routines used by LibVNCClient and LibVNCServer were \
refactored
into an implementation common to both libraries.
* Several security issues got fixed.
* The bundled noVNC client is now at version 1.1.0 and included via a git \
submodule.
## LibVNCClient:
* Added connect timeout as well as read timeout support thanks to Tobias Junghans.
* Both TLS backends now do proper locking of network operations when multi-threaded
thanks to Gaurav Ujjwal.
* Fixed regression in Tight/Raw decoding introduced in 0.9.12 thanks to DRC.
* Fixed encrypted connections to AnonTLS servers when using the OpenSSL back-end.
Made possible by the profound research done by Gaurav Ujjwal.
## LibVNCServer:
* Added a hooking function (`clientFramebufferUpdateRequestHook`) to deliver
rfbFramebufferUpdateRequest messages from clients to the frame producer
thanks to Jae Hyun Yoo.
* Added SetDesktopSize/ExtendedDesktopSize support thanks to Floris Bos.
* Added multi-threading support for MS Windows.
* Fixed VNC repeater/proxy functionality that was broken in 0.9.12.
* Fixed unstable WebSockets connections thanks to Sebastian Kranz.
