[winswitch] [ANNOUNCE] Xpra HTML5 4.4

Hi,

This new release of the HTML5 client comes fairly soon after the 4.3
release because there was a regression which caused a performance
degradation due to unnecessary memory copying.
Performance should be improved for most platforms thanks to more
zero-copy memory transfers and the decoding of screen updates is now in
a separate worker thread - this is particularly useful for H264
decoding, which cannot be done "natively" by the browser.
There are also improvements to AES encrypted connections: support for
CFB and CTR modes was added (requires v4.3 or later of the xpra server),
switched to cryptographically secure random numbers.

The full release notes can be found here:

Cheers
Antoine
