Release Notes

Significant changes relative to 1.1 beta1:

  1. Improved the behavior of the automatic lossless refresh feature so that it doesn't send an ALR for screen regions that were sent using JPEG but then re-sent using a lossless subencoding (such as color index) prior to the ALR being triggered.

  2. Previously, empty cursors were not encoded correctly by the TurboVNC Server, and this caused some VNC viewers (notably, TigerVNC) to render a system default cursor instead of the empty cursor. This has been fixed.

  3. Fixed the rendering of empty cursors in the X11 TurboVNC Viewer. This also fixed an issue whereby the viewer would crash when opening recent versions of xterm in the TurboVNC session.

  4. Fixed a crash (xcb_io.c:507: _XReply: Assertion '!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed) that occurred when running recent versions of twm in a TurboVNC session. Fixing this also fixed an issue in openSUSE 12 whereby Xvnc would abort with "could not open default font 'fixed'".

  5. The Windows TurboVNC Viewer will now properly switch into/out of full-screen mode whenever the "Full-screen mode" check box is selected or de-selected in the TurboVNC Viewer Options dialog and a connection is active.

  6. Fixed an issue whereby the Windows TurboVNC Viewer window would remain on top of other windows and dialogs (including dialogs raised by the TurboVNC Viewer itself) when exiting full-screen mode.

  7. Beginning with 1.1 beta1, whenever the Windows TurboVNC Viewer left full-screen mode, it would set the window size and position to default values. It now restores the window's size and position to the values they had before the viewer was placed in full-screen mode. An option has been added to the system menu to manually resize and reposition the window to default values (taking into account the spanning option.)

  8. Added Ctrl-Alt-Shift-F and Ctrl-Alt-Shift-R hotkeys to the X11 TurboVNC Viewer to toggle full-screen mode and request a refresh (respectively.) These emulate the behavior of the Windows TurboVNC Viewer.

  9. Fixed several invalid reads/writes reported by valgrind. These occurred under certain circumstances when a Tight-compatible viewer disconnected from a TurboVNC session, and the issues were known to cause one rare segfault when disconnecting from a TurboVNC session that had multithreading and ALR enabled.

  10. Fixed an issue whereby selecting text in xterm would sometimes cause the Windows TurboVNC Viewer to abort with "Failed to open clipboard."

  11. Fixed an issue whereby clipboard changes were being immediately sent back to the viewer as soon as they were received by the server. This specifically caused copy/paste operations in some Windows applications to behave incorrectly, since the clipboard contents were being converted from Unicode to ASCII when they were bounced back.
