Release notes

  1. 1.2.3, released 7th December 2012

    • VNC Viewer Plus now searches all stores on the client computer for all the certificates in the chain of trust for the Intel AMT certificate, meaning encrypted connections are more likely to succeed.

    1.2.2, released 16th March 2012

    • FIXED: Certain Dell computers with particular BIOS revisions can now be powered on, off, and rebooted.
    • FIXED: VNC parameters are now passed to VNC Viewer Plus correctly when it is started programmatically.

    1.2.1, released 28th June 2011

    • 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 to a mounted image an Intel® AMT 7.0+ host computer that has been configured by Host-Based Configuration to be in Client Control Mode now succeeds.

    1.2.0, released 11th April 2011

    • 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.)
