VNC Unix and Java packages updated to 3.3.3r2

[Tristan Richardson]

AT&T Laboratories Cambridge announces the release of VNC version 3.3.3r2 for
unix (X window system) platforms.

This release has some enhancements to the X VNC server, plus some minor
changes to the X VNC viewer.  There is also a minor update to the Java
viewer.

A summary of the changes is below.  For more details please see the VNC web
pages at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc , in particular
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/xvnchistory.html



vncconnect

  New helper program for Xvnc, which causes it to make reverse connections
  to a listening VNC viewer. This is similar to WinVNC's "Add New Client" /
  -connect feature.  

Xvnc

  New option -inetd incorporating Andre Moreira's iXvnc functionality. 
  Fix to hextile encoding, thanks to Michael A. Fetterman - this may be the
    cause of the "0 bpp problem".  
  New connect out feature by using the vncconnect command. 
  Fix some non-ascii capitalisation issues, thanks to Vlad Harchev. 
  Fix bounding box calculation for arcs. 
  Other minor bug fixes. 

vncserver

  Sets DISPLAY to use unix domain socket if possible (:dpynum rather than
  host:dpynum). 
  Option -kill should now work if you give it $DISPLAY as an argument. 

vncviewer

  Fix Xaw string copy bug, thanks to Tim Waugh - this fixes the problems with
    the password dialog with recent versions of linux 

Java viewer

  Improve keyboard handling for Latin-1 characters and ctrl-_. 
  Change constants so (hopefully) will compile with JDK 1.3
