Release notes

This release brings with it a number of fixes and enhancements.

• Added support for supplementary planes of UTF-8 in JSON: This update extends the scope of our system’s compatibility by including all corresponding Unicode characters in UTF-8’s supplementary planes for JSON formatting.
• The installer switches the preferred VHDL Compiler: The installer now employs GHDL as the default VHDL compiler, replacing FreeHDL due to its unavailability in the new Ubuntu releases. Note that GHDL is used from version 4.1.1 of VPL.
• VNC Server launch improvements: We’ve fixed the vncconfig detection when launching the VNC server.
• SELinux Status Check: The service launcher now performs a check of the usage and current state of SELinux. It will display a message if SELinux is installed and not in a disabled state. Note that the VPL Jail server is not compatible with SELinux.
