| 0.9.10 |
| - Overall changes: |
| * Moved the whole project from sourceforge to https://libvnc.github.io/. |
| * Cleaned out the autotools build system which now uses autoreconf. |
| * Updated noVNC HTML5 client to latest version. |
| * Split out x11vnc sources into separate repository at |
| https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc |
| * Split out vncterm sources into separate repository at |
| https://github.com/LibVNC/vncterm |
| * Split out VisualNaCro sources into separate repository at |
| https://github.com/LibVNC/VisualNaCro |
| * Merged Debian patches. |
| |
| - LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient: |
| * Fixed some security-related buffer overflow cases. |
| * Added compatibility headers to make LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient build on native |
| Windows 8. |
| * Update LZO to version 2.07, fixing CVE-2014-4607. |
| |
| - LibVNCServer: |
| * Merged patches from KDE/krfb. |
| * Can now do IPv6 without IPv4. |
| * Fixed a use-after-free issue in scale.c. |
| |
| 0.9.9 |
| - Overall changes: |
| * Added noVNC HTML5 VNC viewer (http://kanaka.github.com/noVNC/) connect possibility |
| to our http server. Pure JavaScript, no Java plugin required anymore! (But a |
| recent browser...) |
| * Added a GTK+ VNC viewer example. |
| |
| - LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient: |
| * Added support to build for Google Android. |
| * Complete IPv6 support in both LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient. |
| |
| - LibVNCServer: |
| * Split two event-loop related functions out of the rfbProcessEvents() mechanism. |
| This is required to be able to do proper event loop integration with Qt. Idea was |
| taken from Vino's libvncserver fork. |
| * Added TightPNG (http://wiki.qemu.org/VNC_Tight_PNG) encoding support. Like the |
| original Tight encoding, this still uses JPEG, but ZLIB encoded rects are encoded |
| with PNG here. |
| * Added suport for serving VNC sessions through WebSockets |
| (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket), a web technology providing for multiplexing |
| bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels over a single TCP connection. |
| * Support connections from the Mac OS X built-in VNC client to LibVNCServer |
| instances running with no password. |
| * Replaced the Tight encoder with a TurboVNC one which is tremendously faster in most |
| cases, especially with high-color video or 3D workloads. |
| (http://www.virtualgl.org/pmwiki/uploads/About/tighttoturbo.pdf) |
| |
| - LibVNCClient: |
| * Added support to only listen for reverse connections on a specific IP address. |
| * Support for using OpenSSL instead of GnuTLS. This could come in handy on embedded |
| devices where only this TLS implementation is available. |
| * Added support to connect to UltraVNC Single Click servers. |
| |
| 0.9.8.2 |
| - Fixed a regression that crept in with the Apple Remote Desktop support. |
| |
| 0.9.8.1 |
| - Fixed an ABI compatibility issue. |
| |
| 0.9.8 |
| - Overall changes: |
| * Automagically generated API documentation using doxygen. |
| * Added support for pkg-config. |
| * Fixed Mingw32 cross compilation. |
| * Fixed CMake build system. |
| |
| - LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient: |
| * All files used by _both_ LibVNCServer and LibVNCClient were put into |
| a 'common' directory, reducing code duplication. |
| * Implemented xvp VNC extension. |
| * Updated minilzo library used for Ultra encoding to ver 2.04. |
| According to the minilzo README, this brings a significant |
| speedup on 64-bit architechtures. |
| |
| - LibVNCServer: |
| * Thread safety for ZRLE, Zlib, Tight, RRE, CoRRE and Ultra encodings. |
| This makes all VNC encodings safe to use with a multithreaded server. |
| * A DisplayFinishedHook for LibVNCServer. If set, this hook gets called |
| just before rfbSendFrameBufferUpdate() returns. |
| * Fix for tight security type for RFB 3.8 in TightVNC file transfer |
| (Debian Bug #517422). |
| |
| - LibVNCClient: |
| * Unix sockets support. |
| * Anonymous TLS security type support. |
| * VeNCrypt security type support. |
| * MSLogon security type support. |
| * ARD (Apple Remote Desktop) security type support. |
| * UltraVNC Repeater support. |
| * A new FinishedFrameBufferUpdate callback that is invoked after each |
| complete framebuffer update. |
| * A new non-forking listen (reverse VNC) function that works under |
| Windows. |
| * IPv6 support. LibVNCClient is now able to connect to IPv6 VNC servers. |
| * IP QoS support. This enables setting the DSCP/Traffic Class field of |
| IP/IPv6 packets sent by a client. For example starting a client with |
| -qosdscp 184 marks all outgoing traffic for expedited forwarding. |
| Implementation for Win32 is still a TODO, though. |
| * Fixed hostname resolution problems under Windows. |
| |
| - SDLvncviewer |
| * Is now resizable and can do key repeat, mouse wheel scrolling |
| and clipboard copy and paste. |
| |
| - LinuxVNC: |
| * Fix for no input possible because of ctrl key being stuck. |
| Issue was reported as Debian bug #555988. |
| |
| |
| 0.9.7 |
| Mark sent me patches to no longer need C++ for ZRLE encoding! |
| added --disable-cxx Option for configure |
| x11vnc changes from Karl Runge: |
| - Changed all those whimpy printf(...)'s into manly fprintf(stdxxx,...)'s. |
| |
| - Added -q switch (quiet) to suppress printing all the debug-looking output. |
| |
| - Added -bg switch to fork into background after everything is set up. |
| (checks for LIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_FORK and LIBVNCSERVER_HAVE_SETSID) |
| |
| - Print this string out to stdout: 'PORT=XXXX' (usually XXXX = 5900). |
| Combining with -bg, easy to write a ssh/rsh wrapper with something like: |
| port=`ssh $host "x11vnc -bg .."` then run vncviewer based on $port output. |
| (tunneling the vnc traffic thru ssh a bit more messy, but doable) |
| |
| - Quite a bit of code to be more careful when doing 8bpp indexed color, e.g. |
| not assuming NCOLORS is 256, handling 8bit TrueColor and Direct Color, etc |
| (I did all this probably in April, not quite clear in my mind now, but |
| I did test it out a fair amount on my old Sparcstation 20 wrt a user's |
| questions). |
| introduce rfbErr for Errors (Erik) |
| make rfbLog overridable (suggested by Erik) |
| don't reutrn on EINTR in WriteExact()/ReadExact() (suggested by Erik) |
| use AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H to prefix constants in config.h to avoid |
| name clashes (also suggested by Erik) |
| transformed Bool, KeySym, Pixel to rfbBool, rfbKeySym, rfbPixel |
| (as suggested by Erik) |
| purged exit() calls (suggested by Erik) |
| fixed bug with maxRectsPerUpdate and Tight Encoding (these are incompatible) |
| checked sync with TightVNC 1.2.8: |
| viewonly/full passwords; if given a list, only the first is a full one |
| vncRandomBytes is a little more secure now |
| new weights for tight encoding |
| checked sync with RealVNC 3.3.7 |
| introduced maxRectsPerUpdate |
| added first alpha version of LibVNCClient |
| added simple and simple15 example (really simple examples) |
| finally got around to fix configure in CVS |
| long standing http bug (.jar was sent twice) fixed by a friend of Karl named Mike |
| http options in cargs |
| when closing a client and no longer listening for new ones, don't crash |
| fixed a bug with ClientConnectionGone |
| endianness is checked at configure time |
| fixed a bug that prevented the first client from being closed |
| fixed that annoying "libvncserver-config --link" bug |
| make rfbReverseByte public (for rdp2vnc) |
| fixed compilation on OS X, IRIX, Solaris |
| install target for headers is now ${prefix}/include/rfb ("#include <rfb/rfb.h>") |
| renamed "sraRegion.h" to "rfbregion.h" |
| CARD{8,16,32} are more standard uint{8,16,32}_t now |
| fixed LinuxVNC colour handling |
| fixed a bug with pthreads where the connection was not closed |
| moved vncterm to main package (LinuxVNC included) |
| portability fixes (IRIX, OSX, Solaris) |
| more portable way to determine endianness and types of a given size |
| through autoconf based methods |
| 0.5 |
| rpm packaging through autoconf |
| autoconf'ed the whole package (including optional support for zlib, |
| pthreads and libjpeg as well as zrle/c++) |
| moved appropriate files to contrib/ and examples/ respectively |
| fixed long standing cargs bug (Justin "Zippy" Dearing) |
| Even better x11vnc from Karl J. Runge! (supports different kbd layouts of |
| client/server) |
| Better x11vnc from Karl J. Runge! |
| fixed severe bug (Const Kaplinsky) |
| got patch from Const Kaplisnky with CursorPosUpdate encoding and some Docs |
| sync'ed with newest RealVNC (ZRLE encoding) |
| a HTTP request for tunnelling was added (to fool strict web proxies) |
| sync'ed with TightVNC 1.2.5 |
| 0.4 |
| support for NewFB from Const Kaplinsky |
| memory leaks squashed (localtime pseudo leak is still there :-) |
| small improvements for OSXvnc (still not working correctly) |
| synced with TightVNC 1.2.3 |
| solaris compile cleanups |
| many x11vnc improvements |
| added backchannel, an encoding which needs special clients to pass |
| arbitrary data to the client |
| changes from Tim Jansen regarding multi threading and client blocking |
| as well as C++ compliancy |
| x11vnc can be controlled by starting again with special options if compiling |
| with LOCAL_CONTROL defined |
| 0.3 |
| added x11vnc, a x0rfbserver clone |
| regard deferUpdateTime in processEvents, if usec<0 |
| initialize deferUpdateTime (memory "leak"!) |
| changed command line handling (arguments are parsed and then removed) |
| added very simple example: zippy |
| added rfbDrawLine, rfbDrawPixel |
| 0.2 |
| inserted a deferUpdate mechanism (X11 independent). |
| removed deletion of requestedRegion |
| added rfbLoadConsoleFont |
| fixed font colour handling. |
| added rfbSelectBox |
| added rfbDrawCharWithClip to allow for clipping and a background colour. |
| fixed font colours |
| added rfbFillRect |
| added IO function to check password. |
| rfbNewClient now sets the socket in the fd_set (for the select() call) |
| when compiling the library with HAVE_PTHREADS and an application |
| which includes "rfb.h" without, the structures got mixed up. |
| So, the pthreads section is now always at the end, and also |
| you get a linker error for rfbInitServer when using two different |
| pthread setups. |
| fixed two deadlocks: when setting a cursor and when using CopyRect |
| fixed CopyRect when copying modified regions (they lost the modified |
| property) |
| WIN32 target compiles and works for example :-) |
| fixed CopyRect (was using the wrong order of rectangles...) |
| should also work with pthreads, because copyrects are |
| always sent immediately (so that two consecutive copy rects |
| cannot conflict). |
| changed rfbUndrawCursor(rfbClientPtr) to (rfbScreenInfoPtr), because |
| this makes more sense! |
| flag backgroundLoop in rfbScreenInfo (if having pthreads) |
| CopyRect & CopyRegion were implemented. |
| if you use a rfbDoCopyR* function, it copies the data in the |
| framebuffer. If you prefer to do that yourself, use rfbScheduleCopyR* |
| instead; this doesn't modify the frameBuffer. |
| added flag to optionally not send XCursor updates, but only RichCursor, |
| or if that is not possible, fall back to server side cursor. |
| This is useful if your cursor has many nice colours. |
| fixed java viewer on server side: |
| SendCursorUpdate would send data even before the client pixel format |
| was set, but the java applet doesn't like the server's format. |
| fixed two pthread issues: |
| rfbSendFramebuffer was sent by a ProcessClientMessage function |
| (unprotected by updateMutex). |
| cursor coordinates were set without protection by cursorMutex |
| source is now equivalent to TridiaVNC 1.2.1 |
| pthreads now work (use iterators!) |
| cursors are supported (rfbSetCursor automatically undraws cursor) |
| support for 3 bytes/pixel (slow!) |
| server side colourmap support |
| fixed rfbCloseClient not to close the connection (pthreads!) |
| this is done lazily (and with proper signalling). |
| cleaned up mac.c (from original OSXvnc); now compiles (untested!) |
| compiles cleanly on Linux, IRIX, BSD, Apple (Darwin) |
| fixed prototypes |
| 0.1 |
| rewrote API to use pseudo-methods instead of required functions. |
| lots of clean up. |
| Example can show symbols now. |
| All encodings |
| HTTP |
