************************************** * Ultr@VNC - Latest modifications ************************************** ** v1.0.0 - RC 14 (v1 Release Candidate 14) * Server - Memory leaks, resources leaks, array bounding, bug fixes, desktop thread fixes - ms logon: Correction for global groups in local group detection + a lot of others changes to take the max. use cases into account... - FileTransfer is now forbidden when Viewers are forced to be "ViewOnly" - FileTransfer bug fix (possible infinite loop during copy loop) - Properties dialog tweaked - Removed the "Home page" and "Online help" shortcuts in the WinVNC traymenu (that were launching some IExplorer processes) until we find a better solution. - MS groups can be customized via options - Hookdll is loaded dynamic , dll does not longer need to exist to start winvnc * Viewer - Server Inputs/Screen-blanking bugfix - Proxy support (via the "VNC repeater" external program) - FileTransfer: selection bar now takes full list's window width - Several Listening viewers can now be run on the same machine using different ports numbers. - Pressing ALT or CTRL send ALT/CTRL directly to the VNCServer, as if the user selected "CTRL DOWN/CTRL UP/ALT DOWN/ALT UP" from the system menu. When turning the SCROLL-LOCK on, the following things happen: Pressing ALT+TAB DOES NOT switch applications on the client side. Instead, ALT+TAB is sent to the VNCServer. Pressing CTRL+ESC DOES NOT open the start menu on the client side. Instead, CTRL+ESC is sent to the VNCServer. Pressing ALT+SPACE DOES NOT open the system menu on the client side. Instead, ALT+SPACE is sent to the VNCServer. Pressing Break/Pause key toggles Full-Screen mode on or off. Pressing PRINT-Screen key requests a full screen update (same as selecting "Request Screen Refresh" from the system menu) All the above can be disabled by turning the SCROLL-LOCK key off.

'wonder why... ;) ** v1.0.0 - RC 12 (v1 Release Candidate 12) * Server - DSM Plugin bug fixes (loopback mode, plugin changes, loading, config...). - Strings moved to resource file (server) + french translation - Added back auto hook switching (only active the first 50 updates, to prevent switching while connected) - Added -autoreconnect command line option and functionnality - Prevented Chat to send messages during transfer of a file - FileTransfer now handles Directory Transfer (using zip32.dll & unzip32.dll) - Ultra Encoder bug fix - New Video Hook driver - Local cursor support for Driver and Hookdll - Video Driver now uses events to notify the server for changes, no more timer - Auto full scan on idle time - Added several locks for memory protection while driver is disabled/enabled (resolution/logon) - Too many little updates (driver). If more than 50 rects, combine regions. * Viewer - FileTransfer now handles Directory Transfer (using zip32.dll & unzip32.dll) - Chat window can be minimized (allowing screen updates) and restored - FileTransfer Window can be minimized (allowing screen updates) and restored, excepted during a transfer - Toolbar Buttons changed... (thanks to http://www.phoenity.com/) - Added back dotcursor as default in all quick options modes, excepted Ultra & Lan - Added listening Port number to VNCviewer Taskbar icon tooltip, in listen mode - Added some resync code... Server and viewer sometimes were going out of sync. This code tries to find new updates in network data and resync the viewer. - A listening viewer using a DSMPlugin can now handle several connections with different servers without connection drops. **v1.0.0 - RC 11c (v1 Release Candidate 11) -auth dll changed (NT4 missing function,) -added winvnc -multi (disable single instance check) - File times now displayed in local time in FileTransfer - DSM bugs fixed: - DSM+ZRLE now WORKS :) - Fixed various crashes due to insufficent DSM working buffer size with 1200+ screen resolutions - Fixed DSM+UltraEncoding crash (I now desativate Queuing when DSM is enabled). ** v1.0.0 - RC 11b (v1 Release Candidate 11) -messages.dll (nt event ) was missing -new XP style buttons -ldap was only added to the testauth util....:) made it also active in winvnc -Plugin changes -A viewer crash bug fixed -About etc...still have RC11 to little changes for new release number ** v1.0.0 - RC 11 (v1 Release Candidate 11) - 8bit Colors regression fixed - Server PB fixed: WinVNC stalled when changing server screen resolution during connection. - Various bug fixes with Ultra encoding and mouse cursor updates. - Cosmetic fixes in viewer and server (multi-languages strings display, dialog boxes, bitmaps, flashlogo...) - Auto Mode On/Off switching pb fixed (after a manuel options settings the Auto Mode was no more available) - Added the /nohotkeys command line switch in vncviewer (saved in .vnc files like all the others vncviewer options) - Modifs and bug fixes in french vncviewer - Fixed Status display bug in Status Window when DSMPlugin is used - MS logon no support:worksgroups,NT4 domain,AD mixed and native domains workgroup,NT4 Domain: group checking (Netapi), password checking (SPPI, and logonuser for XP) Open guest access is checked and MS logon is regused on systems where guest account=1 AND force guest=1 AD mixed and native: Group and password are checked using the ADSI SDK (LDAP) - added ConnectPriority=3: refuse multiple viewer connections - Added even more memory controle functions - users without HKLM access can run vnc as application - added vnc loggons to system event logging (NT) - UltraEncoder isolated from other. This encoder is experimental and use a faster viewer screen update mechanism. When switching (manual) from or to this encoder some black rect can appear. Does not support caching and local cursor shapes. This encoder is no longer part of the auto mechanism. ** RC 1.10 (v1 Release Candidate 10) - Added secure memcopy/memcmp to prevent server crash - NT4 video driver does not exist..so put it always false - NewSWsize could cause problems, needed to be send from client thread enablecache could cause delete cache to give memory error, fixed some extra logging - Moved restart driver to vncDesktopThread check part. Driver is not restarted middle of an update - Disabled detect slow encoder (the auto switch between hookdll and driver does not work 100%) - DisableTrayIcon reg value added - ms-logon passwd length fix - ms-logon is moved to machine reg settings , no user setting - ms-logon is moved to 2 seperated dlls. groups and nested groups (AD) should work know - ms-logon added testutil - Added home page and online help menu items - String vncviewe moved to table to be easy translated - Added viewer flash window - New superfast Ultra Encoder using real time compression/latency reduction and the faster viewer screen updates ** RC 1.09 (v1 Release Candidate 09) - NT4 8bit crash fix - 24bit driver mode crash fix - "Unlock server" crash detect and fixed - 2003 driver support added to server and drivers - Added new about box - Auto Check "Cache Encoding" when XORZlib encoding is clicked in options dialog. - Fixed ".vnc" saving bug with some params (ServerScale, EnableCache...) - Quick Options handling code cleanup - Added Test if Options Dialog is open while terminating the viewer (->prevent a crash) - CTRL-ESC, Alt, CTRL, CTRL-ALT-DEL are now forbidden in ViewOnly mode - Viewer menu simplified and completed - Added Accelerator Keys (Hot Keys). They are displayed in the viewer's menu. (All are CTRL+ALT+Fxx keys) - Added AutoScaling : now the viewer window can be auto scaled/stretched so the server's screen is entirely visible (no scrollbars). The option is available along Quick options. - Viewer Scaling factors is now percentage in the Options window. More clear for users. - Hopefully fixed the screen refresh locking after a FileTransfer occasionnal bug. - Simplified Viewer TitleBar display (removed "VNC Viewer". Was useless and now we can directly see the hostname in the task bar). - Added hostname in the FileTransfer window Title bar. - Hopefully fixed the scaling crash that occurs in all others VNC distributions due to the StretchBlt() function + hardware acceleration. Visual quality remains equivalent when scaled. - Added a 30s delay between 2 encoding changes when using Auto mode. It should prevent some problems over slow connections... - Added ".vnc" load button in the "Connection" Dialog ** RC 1.08 (v1 Release Candidate 08) - The last major memory leak has been fixed in WinVNC - WinVNC occasionnal crash under NT4 during initial screen loading has been fixed - The CTRL,ALT,SHIFT keys locking bug has hopefully been fixed - The Viewer's authentication window has been renamed "VNC Authentication" instead of " Ultr@VNC Authentication" : now Ult@VNC Viewer is compatible again with the VNC-Quickdesk password transmission method... - Some additionnal tests have been added to prevent possible crashes: - "ms-logon + no domain + WinVNC under win 9.x" case - OS Version is better checked when Video Driver is required by user - Fixed the scaling factors corruption problem when using "AUTO" quickoption in the viewer. - The DSM Plugins know their loader : vncviewer or WinVNC (application or service). It should be now more easy for plugins writters to save their plugins configuration at the good location in the registry, for instance. TestPlugin example source code has been updated consequently. ** RC 1.07 (v1 Release Candidate 07) - TextChat GUI improvements (colors, buttons), - Textchat scrolling under Win9x & Me fixed - Viewer refresh after Texchat fixed - TextChat & FileTransfer windows can be redisplayed on the foreground when masked in Fullscreen mode by clicking on their corresponding buttons. - FileTransfer GUI double-click bug fixed - UltraVNC icon slightly changed - Toolbar tooltips now appear faster - Viewer "notoolbar" command line option replaces the stupid "showtoolbar" option... - WinVNC "connect" option fixed (works with host, host:display and host::port) - Fixed "quickoption" command line option bug in vncviewer - Added "Log Infos" and "Allow Loopback" options in WinVNC Property page. - UltraVNC is now compatible with PalmVNC2.0 even at the server screen scaling level. - Fixed Viewer crash when aborting connection - Remove Wallpaper after disconnection bug fixed - NTML mechanism now checks Local and Remote for Group and Password. - Fixed a bug with changes detection in WINVNC under W2K/WP: when the "Video Hook Driver" option was checked and the Video Driver was not actually available (not installed for instance...) then the default "System HookDll" was not loaded (even if the option was checked). The result was missing screen updates, especially with checkboxes, low accuracy and low speed. The workaround was to uncheck the "Video Hook Driver" option. - DSMplugin action now starts BEFORE the RFB protocole handshaking (-> 1.07 Viewer/Server DSM compatibility with 1.06 is broken but existing Plugins remain compatible with v1.07) - Info messages are now displayed when connection fails with DSMPlugin (Plugins incompatibility, missing etc...) - DSMPlugin now supports ms_logon method - Slightly modified TestPlugin sample - Added "dsmplugin" command line option in vncviewer - Video Driver handling: - Auto switching to default system hooking when 24bit color depth is used on server (the driver not used in this case) - 8bit color palette support - WinVNC keeps the attached-to-desktop bit to 1 until VNC unloads the driver -> No more crashes when an application changes the display (ex: pinball). No more risk that color depth or screen resolution switching crash the server. - New Video Hook driver v1.0.7 (+ New separate Video Drivers Auto-Setup)
