[WIN32] 7-Dec-2000: Windows Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added registry flag to cleanly disable the tray icon on all
platforms and in all modes without affecting other settings.
The default is "0" and indicates that the tray icon should not
be disabled. A value of "1" will suppress the tray icon for
all users.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableTrayIcon DWORD "0"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableTrayIcon DWORD "1"
- Added "BeepConnect" and "BeepDisconnect" registry flags to sound
the default system beep upon a successful VNC connection and/or
disconnection.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\BeepConnect DWORD "0"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\BeepDisconnect DWORD "0"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\<user>\BeepConnect DWORD "1"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\<user>\BeepDisconnect DWORD "1"
- Accept dialog appears only after the remote user has provided
the necessary password.
- Added "QueryAccept" registry flag to allow the accept dialog
to default to accepting connections after the time-out expires
with no user input.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\Default\QueryAccept DWORD "0"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\<user>\QueryAccept DWORD "1"
The default is to reject connections when the accept dialog
times out, which is the same as a setting of "0". A setting
of "1" will allow the incoming connection after the time-out
expires. The local user can still reject the connection
before the timeout.
- Fixed authentication dialog bug where the cancel button failed
to exit the program. Also limited the authentication retries
to three attempts, after which the viewer exits.
- Upgraded installers to InstallAnywhere 3.5 Enterprise. This
provides enhanced support for WinNT 5.0 (aka. Win2000) and
WinME.
[LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 7-Dec-2000: Unix Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Upgraded installers to InstallAnywhere 3.5 Enterprise.

[LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 15-Nov-2000: Unix Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added Tim Waugh's "-interface ifaddr" command line option to the
Xvnc server to specify the interface on which the server should
listen for RFB connections. Note that X connections are still
accepted from all interfaces.
- Added TrueType font support to the Xvnc server from the xfsft
project. Providing a new tool called "mkfontdir" to help build
font directories containing TrueType font files. Added
fonts.scale and encodings files to distribution to aid in the
preparation of font directories.
- Integrated all AT&T 3.3.3r2 updates. Provides "vncconnect"
tool to send a display from the unix server.
- Fixed core dump in hextile and zlibhex on RISC systems when
a 32 bit (or 16 bit) connection is requested.

[WIN32] 26-Oct-2000: Windows Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added desktop optimizations upon initial VNC connection from
Jeremy Peaks with many updates. The following registry entries
turn on the optimizations:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\OptimizeDesktop REG_SZ "Yes"
disables all four: full window drag, font smoothing,
wallpaper and pattern
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisablePattern REG_SZ "Yes"
disables desktop pattern
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableWallpaper REG_SZ "Yes"
disables desktop wallpaper
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableFontSmoothing REG_SZ "Yes"
disables desktop screen font smoothing
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\DisableFullWindowDrag REG_SZ "Yes"
disables desktop full window updates during drags
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\ResHeight REG_SZ "#pixels#"
HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORL\WinVNC3\ResWidth REG_SZ "#pixels#"
when present together, gives new resolution to enable
upon VNC connection
Please note that there is a bug which prevents pattern disabling
from working on WinNT 4.0 and 5.0 (Win2k) currently. Note also,
these are *string* values, not the usual DWORDs used elsewhere
in the WinVNC server.
[LINUX INTEL, AIX, HPUX, SOLARIS] 26-Oct-2000: Unix Updates
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added Tim Waugh's updates to the iXvnc patch.
- Added the "-nolocalcursor" option to the vncviewer to optionally
disable the local "dot" cursor.
- Integrated Andre Moriera's iXvnc patch. The TridiaVNC Xvnc
server can now be launched from inetd, using the "-inetd"
command line parameter.
