This is for announcements of new versions of VNC, successful ports to other platforms, availability of related software, and so forth. This is distinct from the standard list which is concerned more with bug reports, suggestions, questions etc. This list is 'moderated', which means that messages sent to it will only appear if we approve them, which we will generally do if they are appropriate for the list. It also means that your messages may take a while to appear if we're away or very busy! See http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html for details of how to subscribe and unsubscribe from this and the other lists. Archives and searching from the web should follow shortly. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Quentin Stafford-Fraser AT&T Laboratories Cambridge http://www.uk.research.att.com/~qsf -------------------------------------------------------------------- The vnc-announce mailing list see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- From cim@uk.research.att.com Fri Jun 11 18:01:34 1999 From: cim@uk.research.att.com (Charlie McLachlan) Date: Fri, 11 Jun 1999 17:01:34 +0000 Subject: ANN: MacVNC Beta 2 Message-ID: AT&T Research Laboratories Cambridge are pleased to announce that the latest beta version of MacVNC is now available from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/download.html Changes in Server since Alpha 1.1 ------------------------------------ - All preferences can now be set via a control panel - Web interface vastly improved.

I release new version (beta 0.09) of VNC viewer for OS/2 PM. This is new beta version (beta 0.09) of PM VNC viewer. I appended some requested features and fixed some problems. Fixes: VNC viewer saved window's size & position for next time, but if you moved window (not changing window size), it failed to save window position. Fixed to save position if window moved. If using VNC viewer with VGA 16 colors, BGR233, TINY, GRAY failed to startup. Due to failed to load 256 pallete on VGA 16 display. Now TINY, GRAY uses default 16 colors with 16 entry color pallet. For BGR233, VNC viewer checks avaiable colors. If enough colors avaiable (>=256), uses 256 entry pallet, and it works same as previous version. If there are not enough pallet, then VNC viewer maps BGR233 into default 16 colors, it works same as TINY color. New Features: Changed maximize operation. On previous versions, maximize brings window to remote desktop size. Now, if remote deskt size is greater than PM's dekstop size, remote desktop hold entire PM screen. If remote desktop have same size of PM, entire remote desktop appears on PM screen. Titlebar or system menu still exist in this state. So if you want to use local function, ATL-SPACE will bring systemu menu.

Upgrades to the Windows and Macintosh versions will follow within the next few weeks. The main change since the last release is a complete rewrite of the X VNC viewer based on Xt, giving a number of new features. There have also been several fixes and enhancements made to the X VNC server.

Current VNC users are recommended to move to the new version. Full details of the changes in the latest version can be found at the VNC web site at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ There are many bug fixes and minor changes behind the scenes. Some of the more obvious changes from 3.3.2 are: Windows VNC viewer ------------------ Information about the current connection including, optionally, the password, can be saved to a '.vnc' file, which can then be specified on the command line. You can use the IniFileMapping facility of NT if you would prefer these to be saved in the registry. Also an option to register '.vnc' files as belonging to vncviewer, so that you can double-click on them. Fairly primitive scaling facility allows you to see desktop at different sizes. In Connection dialog, display defaults to :0 if not specified, so when connecting to WinVNC servers you can usually just type the machine name. WinVNC Server ------------- An 'Add New Client' option has been added to the server menu, which initiates a connection to a listening VNC viewer (one started with the -listen option). This allows you to send your desktop to a helpdesk, for example, without them needing to know your password. Limited client IP-address based filtering of connections is now supported, through the new Machine-Local registry setting "AuthHosts". Incoming connections may be restricted on a server-wide basis to being accepted only on the local-loopback interface, through the "LoopbackOnly" registry setting. ------------- VNC is Open Source software and is distributed under the GNU Public License. -- ---------------------------- Dr Quentin Stafford-Fraser AT&T Laboratories Cambridge http://www.uk.research.att.com/~qsf -------------------------------------------------------------------- The vnc-announce mailing list see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- From akira@sra.co.jp Mon Oct 4 11:54:31 1999 From: akira@sra.co.jp (Akira Hatakeyama) Date: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 10:54:31 +0000 Subject: VNC viewer for OS/2 PM, offical version Message-ID: <199910040356.MAA20636@srashd.sra.co.jp> Greetings from Yokohama, Japan.

Version 3.3.3R2 includes a few bug fixes and one or two new features over 3.3.3R1. Anybody still using 3.3.2 is definitely advised to upgrade. Perhaps the most important changes are: * WinVNC can now take a -connect option, which tells a running VNC server to initiate an outgoing connection to a listening viewer. * A bug in the viewer which made it unreliable on SMP machines has been fixed. VNC can be downloaded from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ Information on the changes in this version can be found at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/winhistory.html We recommend that you stop and uninstall any running VNC software before installing the new version, otherwise certain files may not be successfully replaced.
