Now that we use ResizeObserver we know that we require more modern
browsers. The most notable ones here are Firefox and Safari.
With regards to Firefox, while the desktop version has had support
since 69, the Android app requires 79. At the time of writing the
current ESR of Firefox is 78, but the concept of ESR doesn't seem to
exist for Android.
The Safari 13 requirement means we no longer support for example iPhone
5S or the 4th generation of the iPad. These are devices from 2013~2014.
Very few browsers are left in the wild that supports modules but not
"nomodule", so let's simplify our handling a bit.
Safari 10 supports modules but not 'nomodule', this means that this
particular version of Safari will be broken. Due to this we have to
bump up the required Safari version to 11.
Creating an Ubuntu Snap package to make noVNC easier to deploy.
Checks for the websockify binary in both the PATH (using which) and in the location where the Snap package places the binary. This is necessary for noVNC to be usable in a Snap. It doesn't affect the original functionality of git cloning websockify if it's not found in PATH or the Snap location.
* Change copyright header
This updates the copyright header to say "The noVNC Authors". People
who previously had copyright listings are now under the AUTHORS file.
**This commit removes Base64 (and Flash) support**
This commit converts websock.js to used Typed Arrays for the
receive queue (and tweaks rfb.js to ensure that it continues
to function, since only Firefox implements
`%TypedArray%.prototype.slice`). Base64 support was removed
to simplify code paths, and pave the way for using Typed Arrays
for the send queue as well.
This provides two advantages: first, we allocate a buffer ahead
of time, meaning the browser doesn't have to do any work dynamically
increasing the receive queue size. Secondly, we are now able to pass
around Typed Array Views (e.g. `Uint8Array`), which are lightweight, and
don't involve copying.
The downside is that we initially allocate more memory -- we currently
start out with 4 MiB, and then automatically double when it looks like
the amount unused is getting to small.
The commit also explicitly adds a check to the compacting logic that
avoids calling the copy functions if `_rQlen === _rQi`.
