TightVNC

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.3.10

Notes:
TightVNC 1.3.10 fixes various bugs that were reported for previous
versions and adds a number of minor improvements. In the Unix version,
vncserver script is now able to read configuration files, Xvnc
includes fixes for 64-bit Linux.


Changes:
  - Unix Server: Applied fixes for 64-bit Linux issues, a patch from
    Russel Miranda.

  - Unix Server: Made the vncserver script read configuration from
    files (system-wide /etc/tightvncserver.conf and user-specific
    $HOME/.vnc/tightvncserver.conf).

  - All viewers: Allow configuring JPEG quality level regardless of
    the preferred encoding set. This makes sense because TightVNC
    Servers can transmit video data as JPEG even if Tight is not the
    preferred encoding.
 
  - Java viewer: Fixed a bug that caused NullPointerException when
    connecting to any VNC server not supporting TightVNC protocol
    extensions.

  - Java viewer: Fixed a bug with ignoreCursorUpdates option in 24-bit
    color mode caused the viewer to disconnect. Thanks to Damien
    Mascre for pointing out the issue.

  - Java viewer: PORT parameter is not required any more, now it
    defaults to 5900.

  - Java viewer: Do not defer update requests by default, to minimize
    delays in screen updates.

  - Java viewer: Improvements in reporting statistics on disconnect.

  - Java viewer: Added debugging parameters (DEBUG_XU, DEBUG_CU) that
    allow using the viewer as a tool for measuring VNC server
    performance.

  - Other minor improvements and bugfixes.
