AT&T Laboratories Cambridge is pleased to announce the latest version
of the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) system for Macintosh. 
Current VNC users are recommended to move to the new version.

VNC web site at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

Note: This is beta level code. Please report any bugs.

There are many bug fixes and minor changes behind the scenes.  Some of
the more obvious changes from 3.3.3 are:

Viewer
-----

Shortcuts 

     Save the details of your connections as text files with the "Save
description.." option off the File menu. 

Logs and Statistics 

     See what your viewer is doing by choosing "Show Log" or "Show Stats",
both on the File menu. 

Custom Keymaps 

     Remap any key to any other key or sequence of keys, on a global or per
connection basis, using the keymap dialog. Command+G for Global, command+K for
single connection map. Also available from the File and Window menus
respectively. Quickly set a default mouse mapping  using "Set default
preferences" from the File menu. 

Control, Alt, Delete 

     Quickly send Ctrl-Alt-Del using the command on the Window menu. 

Almost Fullscreen 

     Fill your screen with a connection by pressing command+F or using the
Window menu. 

Connection Options 

     Change connection options while a connection is active by pressing
command+P. Use this feature to reduce bit depth or change encodings if your
connection is going too slowly.

the window menu. Also available on command+6,7,8,9,0 

Window Arrangement 

     Easily cascade or tile your windows with command+B and command+T.

done from the Help menu or by pressing any of the  buttons. 

Server
-----

Internal changes 

     Most of the changes won't be immediately noticeable as they are
performance/ stability improvements. This version should be faster and better
able to deal with low memory situations than its predecessor. It should also
run better under MacOS 8.6  

VNC Controls 

     The control panel has had a change of appearance and now displays useful
information about the machine and the current connections. 

Apple Script Installer 

     The extension and the control panel can now be easily installed using an
installer script.
