When a Remote Desktop (RDP) client connected to the console, WinVNC showed black screen and did not restore normal operations even on disconnection of that RDP client. One of the notable changes is that now it's enough to enter a view-only password without providing primary password.įixed problems with running WinVNC service and Terminal Services. Various user interface enhancements - changes in GUI labels, tray icon with a red border when incoming connections are not possible for any reason, more information in the tray icon tip, smarter logic in displaying the Properties dialog, and more.įixed a problem introduced in TightVNC 1.3.8 - default passwords were not respected if user passwords were not set. Interpreting a number in host names like somehost:5900 as an actual port number if it's not in the range. Made "host:port" parsing maximally compatible with VNC4. Improvements in reporting statistics on disconnect.Īdded debugging parameters (DEBUG_XU, DEBUG_CU) that allow using the viewer as a tool for measuring VNC server performance.Īdded support for the standard RFB protocol version 3.8 with TightVNC extensions. PORT parameter is not required any more, now it defaults to 5900.ĭo not defer update requests by default, to minimize delays in screen updates. Thanks to Damien Mascre for pointing out the issue. This makes sense because TightVNC Servers can transmit video data as JPEG even if Tight is not the preferred encoding.įixed a bug that caused NullPointerException when connecting to any VNC server not supporting TightVNC protocol extensions.įixed a bug with ignoreCursorUpdates option in 24-bit color mode caused the viewer to disconnect. Made the vncserver script read configuration from files (system-wide /etc/nf and user-specific $HOME/.vnc/nf).Īllow configuring JPEG quality level regardless of the preferred encoding set. Improved uninstall program always removes the WinVNC service if it was previously installed.Īpplied fixes for 64-bit Linux issues, a patch from Russel Miranda. In this version, self-installing executable will not try to install service in Windows Vista. Improved installer and uninstall utility. Usability improvements in the "New Connection" dialog. vnc files correctly if the first byte of their encrypted representation was zero.įixed problems under Windows Vista where Windows taskbar could remain visible above the full-screen window.įixed a problem with decoding JPEG rectangles wider than 2048 pixels.įixed a bug with not saving log file name correctly on using the Browse button. Also, several other enhancements were made to the code which handles the list of recent connections.įixed a bug with not loading passwords from saved. Now we save unsuccessful connections too so that users would not ever have to re-type server names after connection failures. TightVNC Viewer version 1.3.9 saved only successful connections in the list of recently visited VNC servers. A specially modified VNC server could currupt the heap of the connected viewer causing its crash or malfunction. LastRect, XCursor and RichCursor pseudo-encodings were not properly enabled if they preceded true encodings in the SetEncodings protocol message.įixed integer overflow vulnerabilities reported by Core Security Technologies. Note that -silent should precede other respective options in the command line. That could caused distortions that never updated even with full-screen polling active.Īdded new "-silent" command-line option which modifies the behavior of -install, -reinstall and -remove options and makes them not show informational windows on successful execution. Disabling file transfers if current user is unknown or nobody is logged in.įixed rendering problems when multiple CopyRects were combined with normal updates. Impersonating currently logged on user while processing file transfer requests. See the text version from which this document was generated.
