MultiVNC 0.3 Collab me! released

MultiVNC is a cross-platform Multicast-enabled VNC viewer using wxWidgets and libvncclient . It runs on Unix, Mac OS X and Windows. Features include support for most encodings, ZeroConf service discovery and a seamless edge control mode á la x2vnc.

I'm happy to announce the third release of MultiVNC, now better than ever, with bugs squashed and new features implemented:

* Implemented window sharing: You can now beam one of your 
      windows to the remote side. Works on UNIX and Windows.

    * Implemented Edge Connector: You can now tell MultiVNC that
      one of your screen edges should be the border to the remote
      display. When you move the pointer over this edge, MultiVNC
      will take over your mouse and keyboard and send your input 
      to the remote side. When the pointer is moved back towards 
      the opposite edge on the remote screen, you're back on your
      local desktop.

* Implemented FastRequest feature: You can now set an interval
  at which MultiVNC continously asks the server for updates
  instead of just asking after each received server message.
  This should improve framerate on high latency links.

* Fixed a bug where a fast VNC server would make MultiVNC
  GUI unresponsive on a slow client.

* Fixed bug where saving log or screenshot would terminate
  the connection or even crash on some machines.

    * Fixed bug where setting up connection would take very long
      due to unnecessary DNS lookups.
