Hello, I'm glad to announce the release of TightVNC 1.2.4. This version does not include any major new features, its main focus is bug fixes.
Source and binary archives are available at the usual place: http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html Here is a brief list of changes as compared to the previous release: - Win32 version: WinVNC crashes on reporting zero statistics were fixed. This should eliminate crashes when using x2vnc and win2vnc client programs. - Win32 version: a problem with listening viewer was fixed. Initiating multiple non-shared connections could crash the viewer application. - Win32 version: real passwords are never placed into the password text control in the WinVNC Properties dialog any more. This should prevent grabbing plain-text passwords from that text control. - Win32 version: logging on errors was improved to provide better diagnosis for errors, especially for those causing the message "Connection closed" right after authentication. - Win32 version: handling of log files was improved. Now WinVNC should be able to save backup copies of log files under Win95/98/Me. Also, all log files are now written in MS-DOS/Windows text format instead of the Unix one. - Win32 version: a problem with reporting error messages in the listening viewer was fixed. - Win32 version: reporting incorrect statistics is the Tight encoder was fixed. - Win32 version: HTML pages and templates for the built-in HTTP server were improved. - Unix version: applied patch from Ki Networks, Inc. solving build problems on a number of commercial Unix systems, and fixing a number of minor bugs and typos. - Unix version: added a possibility to denote standard input with the "-" file name instead of a real password file name. - Unix version: fixed a bug causing vncpasswd utility work incorrectly when a file name argument was given in the command line. - Unix version: applied patch to solve keyboard focus problems in the full-screen vncviewer, from Peter Astrand. The patch does not seem to solve all the issues, but definitely makes things better. New grabKeyboard resource was added to control full-screen mode behavior. - Java viewer: new "Show Offline Desktop" parameter was added to make the desktop still visible even after the remote side has closed connection. - Java viewer: error messages were made much more meaningful. - Java viewer: keyboard focus problems were fixed. This should prevent opening new windows (e.g. Options or Clipboard) behind the active authenticator or desktop window. - Java viewer: now "R"/"r" keys can be used to request screen updates in view-only mode. - Java viewer: applied patch from Peter Astrand to fix problems with Swedish keys and broken JVMs. - Other minor fixes and cleanups. -- With Best Wishes, Constantin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
