VNC^® Viewer Plus - Release Notes

Introduction

These are the release notes for VNC Viewer Plus since its first release.

FIXED: Black borders are no longer displayed if the host computer's desktop is rotated to portrait while both Scale to window size and Preserve aspect ratio are selected on the Display tab of the Options dialog.
FIXED: Rebooting an Intel® AMT 7.0+ host computer that has been configured by Host-Based Configuration to be in Client Control Mode to a mounted image now succeeds.

NEW: Support for Intel® Fast Call for Help.
NEW: Automatically switch to an Intel AMT KVM connection if a VNC connection detects the host computer supports Intel AMT.
NEW: Intel AMT KVM connections can be established via HTTP and SOCKS 5 proxy servers that require authentication. (Both proxies are required. Note VNC connections do not yet support proxy authentication.)
NEW: The host computer's desktop can be rotated during a connection if it does not match the orientation of your monitor.
NEW: Switch between multiple monitors during a connection as well as when you first connect. (Connections to host computers running Intel® AMT 6.1 or later only.)
NEW: Setting the Scaling parameter to either FixedWindow or F<width>x<height> fixes the size of the VNC Viewer Plus window, even during a restart.
NEW: Setting the AmtSessionTimeout parameter to 0 prevents disconnections caused by inactivity. Alternatively, specify a number of minutes up to 255.
Enhanced support for international keyboards. (Connections to host computers running Intel® AMT 7.0 only.)

NEW: Programmatically start VNC Viewer Plus and connect to a host computer.
NEW: Override host computer user consent to connect when host computer user is present to give consent.
NEW: Mount floppy disk images, as well as CD/DVD images.
NEW: Boot directly to BIOS configuration, to an operating system, or to a mounted image.
NEW: Automatically look up a FQDN from an IP address or host name, simplifying connectivity in Kerberos or TLS environments.
Key Intel AMT properties can now be enabled if disabled at connection time, improving connectivity.
A host computer can now be powered off even if an image is mounted.
FIXED: Pressing the Windows (also known as Start or Super) key now has the desired effect.
