lib/Maplat/Web/Static/vnc/WhatsNew  view on Meta::CPAN

  - Unix viewer: Fixed a bug with the viewer crashing on selecting
    text in Xvnc, and then choosing F8 / Clipboard: local -> remote,
    twice.

  - There was some progress on supporting pluggable encryption and
    authentication methods, in both Win32 and Unix versions, and in
    the Java viewer.

  - Other changes, see ChangeLog files within the distribution for
    more details.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* TightVNC 1.3dev3, Win32 development (unstable) version

  - All features and fixes from 1.2.9 and 1.3dev1 versions included.

  - Improved GUI of the viewer featuring toolbar, hotkeys, pre-set
    connection profiles, more configuration options, context help in
    dialogs, and more. Finally, the viewer remembers all
    per-connection and global settings in the registry.

  - File transfers between viewer and server machines.

  - Support for RFB protocol version 3.7, with TightVNC extensions.

  - A possibility to turn off hooking via VNCHooks.dll in WinVNC while
    full screen polling is in use.

  - Other changes, see ChangeLog files within the distribution for
    more details.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* TightVNC 1.2.9

  - Win32 version: Major security-related bug in the server has been
    fixed -- handling of the "QueryAllowNoPass" option was seriously
    broken. Together with fixing this bug, the whole authentication
    logic in the server code has been redesigned.

  - Win32 version: Now the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive is being
    closed properly on restoring display settings, on disconnect. This
    change should solve the problem with unloading the registry on
    logout, when WinVNC is running as a service.

  - Win32 version: Problems with "QuerySetting" and "QueryTimeout"
    options have been fixed -- the settings could be copied from user
    configuration to default settings without user's intention.

  - Win32 version: A long-standing bug has been fixed -- the logic to
    handle retries after authentication failures was flawed, and used
    to delete the same object twice under certain conditions.

  - Win32 version: Now it's possible to specify port numbers with the
    winvnc -connect option, using the "host::port" format. Also,
    providing a -connect option without arguments now brings up the
    "Add New Client" dialog.

  - Unix version: New "Request refresh" button has been implemented in
    the viewer's F8 popup menu.

  - Unix version: Xvnc compilation fixes for HP-UX and MacOS X have
    been applied, from Ki NETWORKS, Inc.

  - Unix version: New vncpasswd -f command-line option has been
    implemented. It allows providing passwords on stdin and writes
    encrypted passwords to stdout. In addition, the password file name
    "-" now denotes stdout. Finally, a buffer overflow has been fixed
    in vncpasswd -- it could be caused by a long file name in the
    command line.

  - Unix version: A patch to fix input focus problems in the X11
    viewer has been applied, from Greg Breland.

  - Unix version: A patch fixing Xvnc crashes on Sparc has been
    applied, from the RealVNC distribution.

  - Unix version: A problem with incorrect port interpretation has
    been fixed, in the vncviewer's -tunnel option handling. Thanks to
    Clark Sessions.

  - Java viewer: A modification from Bernd Krueger-Knauber has been
    accepted, to pass through X keysyms for foreign currencies.

  - Java viewer: The problem with initial keyboard focus not set to
    the desktop on some JVMs has been fixed.

  - Other minor improvements and bugfixes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* TightVNC 1.2.8

  - Unix and Win32 versions: Support for a separate view-only password
    has been implemented. Now the servers support two passwords -- one
    to allow full control, another to restrict remote keyboard and
    mouse input.

  - Win32 version: The password reset problem has been solved. In
    versions starting from 1.2.4, the password could get changed in
    the registry on opening Properties dialog and just hitting the OK
    button.

  - Win32 version: New "-reload" command-line option has been
    implemented in Win32 server. It forces the running instance to
    reload the registry settings.

  - Win32 version: "RemoveWallpaper" and "LockSetting" options have
    been made configurable in the Properties dialog; the code has been
    ported from RealVNC 3.3.6.

  - Win32 version: Support for "AllowEditClients" registry setting has
    been ported from RealVNC 3.3.6.

  - Unix version: New "-x11cursor" option has been implemented in
    vncviewer; a patch from Peter Astrand. This option allows using a
    real X11 cursor with X11-style cursor shape updates, disables the
    dot cursor, and disables cursor position updates in non-fullscreen
    mode.

  - Unix version: New "RunCommand" command to customize the X11
    vncviewer popup menu has been implemented; a patch from Peter
    Astrand.

  - Unix version: Several patches from Debian Linux have been applied.
    This should fix a number of bugs and improve building on some
    platforms supported by Debian Linux.

  - Unix version: A problem with Xvnc eating all CPU time after xfs
    restarts has been fixed; a patch from Martin Koegler.

  - Other minor improvements and bugfixes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

* TightVNC 1.2.7

  - Unix and Win32 versions, Java viewer: The most significant problem
    with local cursor handling has been solved -- now clients can see
    remote cursor movements performed on the server or by another
    client. New PointerPos encoding and cursor shape updates both
    minimize bandwidth requirements and greatly improve responsiveness
    of the mouse pointer, while still allow to track correct pointer
    position in all situations.

  - Unix and Win32 versions: In all the places where display numbers
    had to be used, now it's easy to use port numbers as well. The
    viewers now allow to use new "hostname::port" syntax, in addition
    to the traditional "hostname:display" format. The same new syntax
    can be used in the "Add new client" dialog of Win32 server. In the
    server, now it's equally easy to set display and port numbers. 
    Besides that, HTTP and RFB port numbers can be set individually.

  - Unix and Win32 versions: In servers, decreased JPEG quality
    factors for low quality levels. This improves bandwidth usage
    while the image quality remains satisfactory in most cases. In
    clients, JPEG compression is now enabled by default, because
    usually it's a reasonable choice. To prevent viewers from
    requesting JPEG compression, new -nojpeg option can be used.

  - Unix and Win32 versions: Improved installer under Windows, better
    RPMs for Linux.

  - Win32 version: Major enhancements in layout and functionality of
    the dialog boxes.

  - Win32 version: New keyboard handling code has been ported from
    RealVNC 3.3.6. This should solve all the issues with arrow keys
    acting as numbers in console windows, and shift+arrows not working
    under Win2k.

  - Win32 version: Adopted WinVNC -reinstall option from RealVNC
    3.3.5, together with a number of other changes in different
    places. The viewer now accepts a port number after the -listen
    command-line option, an improvement from RealVNC 3.3.6.

  - Win32 version: Eliminated high CPU usage on the server before
    sending cursor shape updates.

  - Unix version: Bugfix for Xvnc's -localhost and -interface options
    that were broken on many systems, thanks to Luke Mewburn for the
    bugfix. Xvnc -version command-line option is now supported.
