The Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) is a remote display system built for virtual environments which allows users to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
  • Occasionally, the video compression algorithm starts when the guest is accessing text instead of video. This caused the text to be blurred. The SPICE server now has an improved heuristic for distinguishing between videos and textual streams.
  • The qspice-libs-devel package delivered through the Virtualization channel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Client can be installed by the anaconda installer with broken dependencies. As a consequence, upgrading qspice-libs-devel fails due to unresolved dependencies. To work around this problem, remove qspice-libs-devel before upgrading on a system with only the Virtualization channel enabled.
