TightVNC is een open-source, crossplatform applicatie waarmee computers op afstand kunnen worden beheerd. Het is gebaseerd op VNC, maar heeft meer mogelijkheden en is verder geoptimaliseerd. Zojuist is development release 5 uitgekomen uit de 1.3-familie, en hierin is het volgende veranderd:
What's new in TightVNC 1.3 dev 5:Win32 server: Support for the "DFMirage" mirror video driver has been added (the driver itself will be available separately). Using the mirror driver greatly increases the speed and reliability of updates, and also desreases CPU utilization on the server.
- Win32 server: New polling algorithm has been implemented. It's similar to that found in x0rfbserver. New algorithm uses minimum CPU time when there are no changes on the screen, and detects major changes very quickly, resulting in greatly improved responsiveness on the client side.
- Win32 server: Improved methods for filtering screen changes that actually do not change anything. New algorithm not only works faster, but it also detects changes much more accurately, leaving less work to encoders.
- Win32 viewer: A special mode for Unix users has been implemented: when ScrollLock is on, the viewer will send Meta on pressing Alt keys.
- Win32 server: Fixed a problem with view-only clients that were enabled full control on just opening the Properties dialog of the server.
- Win32 server: It should not ever hang any more on changing ports or the LoopbackOnly setting.
- Win32 server: DisableTrayIcon and RemoveWallpaper settings are working again.
- Win32 server: The problem with not saving Query Settings has been fixed.
- Win32 server: The polling mode "on event received only" has been fixed - it did not work correctly in previous version.
- Win32 server: Fixed a number of issues with mouse handling, including that annoying problem with pointer jumping on slow connections.
- Win32 server: Applied a bugfix from HorizonLive solving the problem with crashes or incorrect operation after color depth changes on the server's desktop.
- Win32 viewer: It does not crash any more on entering long passwords in the authentication window.
- Win32 viewer: Positioning and resizing logic of the viewer window has been improved.
- Win32 viewer: Now the viewer chooses more reasonable file names for saved .vnc sessions.
- Win32 viewer: In the full-screen mode, the viewer allows other windows to be shown above the remote desktop. This makes hotkeys such as Shift-Ctrl-Alt-O useful in the full-screen mode.
- Unix version: A number of bugfixes -- copying clipboard to non-authenticated clients in Xvnc, delayed cursor shape updates in Xvnc, and crashing on switching between KDE virtual desktops in vncviewer.
- Unix viewer: Support for the new -autopass option has been added, a patch from Ki NETWORKS, Inc. [break]De volgende downloads zijn beschikbaar:
