Hi,

This update to the v5 LTS branch contains no real critical fixes, but it 
should be faster and provide better backwards compatibility.
In particular:
* the MS Windows builds are now split between regular builds and "Light" 
builds, which drastically reduces the installer's footprint.
* some X11 clipboard events were being missed
* the client will now use the fastest colorspace conversion available 
(useful for non OpenGL accelerated rendering)

Note: despite shipping MacOS and MS Windows builds with the infamous 
backdoored version of xz-utils, and xpra supporting some builtin ssh 
authentication, the xpra binaries are not vulnerable to CVE-2024-3094.
