File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: UltraVNC - Release 1.0.5

Notes:


Changes:
** v1.0.5 Release
(v1.0.4 was never released. We switched directly to v1.0.5)

* Update 23 aug 

- Driver+applications that change resolution (like pinpall in fullscreen) 
- vnclog : In some cases the standard path wasn't writable, now path can be set 

* Update 13 aug

- FT crash when clipboard is used during transfer fix
- Admin properties and domain user fix 
- Inputlock input fix 

* Update 3 aug

- Exceptions thrown with no message cause access violations when Report called.
- All message boxes are now properly parented to the viewer window so that they
  are modal.
- Socket timeouts are now used during file transfer so that connections lost 
  while connected to a repeater are detected 
- A small keepalive message is sent every 5 seconds after receiving a file chunk
  to keep the server or viewer from timing out during a read.
- The prompt for exit is now respects the m_fExitCheck setting  if the 'x' in the 
  full screen titlebar is clicked
- Another big change to the file transfer module is that a temporary file is used 
  to hold the file being transferred. When it is successfully completes, it is 
  moved to the original file name -- resume still works too. This was because 
  when a file transfer is interrupted, a user (ie, service tech) can't tell
  if the file is complete.
- The close button on the file transfer dialog is now enabled and disabled during 
  file transfers. You can't close the window with the 'x' during a transfer, 
  but you can otherwise
- Many variables are now properly initialized.
- The black layered window is now brought to the top every 20ms -- the start menu 
  is still visible on the remote system so this change makes it go away faster.
- You can now register the service with a custom name.
- Simplified Copy_to_temp and copy_to_secure_from_temp
- When the network connection is lost, a message is shown "Connection lost due to 
  communication failure" instead of "writeexact: socket error while writing"
- socket read/write errors now break the while (connected) loop in vncclient.cpp
- Simplified file handle cleanup
- FT crash fix, lock screeen while transfer
- quickoption fix: Was not saved correct


* Update 10July

- Repeater: found bug that required server to be connected first. 
  Now you can connect server or viewer first 
- Viewer: option are now correct loaded. 
  The problem was the the presets didn't have "manual set", this cause the presets
  always to be loaded on top of manual settings. 
- Server now take as commandline

  happen if shutdown by service is requested)

    ultravnc.ini file in the UltravNC 1.0.3 RC2 install directory
  2.Add to this ultravnc.ini file the 2 following lines:
    [Admin]
    UseRegistry=1
- WinVNC contains bug fixes for connections init/stability issues 
  (v1.0.2 Test2 patch code and more)
- Please note that DSMPlugin (MSRC4) does not work very well under Vista
  The ARC4 plugin should work fine though
