 0.9.15 sees some internal code structure cleanup, UTF-8 clipboard handling improvements
 and HTTP server support for multithreaded VNC servers. [27 issues and pull requests](https://github.com/LibVNC/libvncserver/issues?q=milestone%3A%22Release+0.9.15%22+is%3Aclosed) were closed/merged since 0.9.14.

+right now (and their prominent supporters) don't get the upper hand in people's heads.
