The pre-releases I used to provide were "cross-compatible" builds designed to work on a variety of Linux platforms. They were built that way because we were considering at the time merging TurboVNC with TigerVNC, and one requirement of that was having a single binary that any Linux user could install. I was also keen to issue pre-release binaries so VirtualGL users could evaluate the system relative to TurboVNC. Since I abandoned the idea of merging the two projects and ceased maintaining TigerVNC, no one has stepped up to take over the cross-compatible builds, and it doesn't look likely that anyone will. Red Hat is doing their own Fedora-specific builds and issuing pre-releases through Rawhide, and Cendio's builds are focused on delivery in the ThinLinc product. I'm not sure what the plan is for 1.3 and what binaries, if any, will accompany that release. Since removing FLTK from the TigerVNC source tree, building all of the binaries that I delivered with 1.2 has become difficult, requiring some local customizations that I've submitted to this list (but not all of which have been incorporated into TigerVNC and FLTK.) This kind of goes with my previous statement that TigerVNC has become more of a vendor-supplied technology.
