+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

* TightVNC 1.3.9

  - All platforms: Added support for the standard RFB protocol version
    3.8 with TightVNC extensions.

  - All platforms: Made "host:port" parsing maximally compatible with
    VNC4. Interpreting a number in host names like somehost:5900 as an
    actual port number if it's not in the range [0..99].

  - Windows Server: Various user interface enhancements - changes in
    GUI labels, tray icon with a red border when incoming connections
    are not possible for any reason, more information in the tray icon
    tip, smarter logic in displaying the Properties dialog, and more.
 
  - Windows Server: Fixed a problem introduced in TightVNC 1.3.8 -
    default passwords were not respected if user passwords were not
    set.

  - Windows Server: Slightly improved handling of passwords. One of
    the notable changes is that now it's enough to enter a view-only
    password without providing primary password.

  - Windows Server: Fixed problems with running WinVNC service and
    Terminal Services. When a Remote Desktop (RDP) client connected to
    the console, WinVNC showed black screen and did not restore normal
    operations even on disconnection of that RDP client. Now, we
    always share the console correctly, and disable simultaneous RDP
    and VNC sessions. The changes were ported from VNC 4.1.2.

  - Windows Server: Better way of simulating Ctrl+Alt+Del. There are
    reports that this solves the problem with greyed username and
    password fields on Windows 2003 Server (bug #887617).

  - Windows Server: Bugfix for the bug #1109102: attempt to restart
    the machine remotely via TightVNC led to disconnect if there was
    some non-saved data, and further connections were rejected.

  - Windows Viewer: Multiple selection now works in file transfers,
    thanks to developers at Novell and personally Rohit Kumar.

  - Windows Viewer: The viewer terminated silently when the server
    dropped connection right after accepting it. Now we report such
    errors.

  - Windows version source archive: Included project files for
    compiling with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Also, all required
    libraries are now included within the source distribution.

  - Unix Server: Applied patches from Debian Linux that port Xvnc to
    x86_64 platform (tightvnc-1.2.9-amd64support.p and
    tightvnc-1.3_alpha7-x86_64.patch), thanks to Quanah Gibson-Mount.

  - Java viewer: Implemented scaling, either with a fixed scaling
    factor or automatic. If Java 2D API is available (Java 1.2 and
    higher), then high-quality scaling is used. From the other side,
    the viewer remains compatible with Java 1.1 where it would simply
    use scaling with much decreased image quality. Scaling can be
    enabled with new "Scaling Factor" parameter but cannot be
    controlled from the GUI yet.

  - Java viewer: Added support for ZRLE encoding.

  - Java viewer: Disabled focus traversal keys under JVMs 1.4 and
    higher. This fixes the problem with not sending Tab key events to
    the VNC server.

  - Java viewer: Fixed wrong pixel format interpretation at decoding
    RichCursor pseudo-encoding (local cursor could be rendered in
    wrong colors).

  - Other improvements and bugfixes, see ChangeLog files within the
    distribution for more details.

* TightVNC 1.3.8, release candidate version

  - Win32 server: Fixed major problem with disconnecting clients on
    screen locking, user logoff and logon, in the service mode.

  - Win32 server: Added support for DFMirage driver direct screen
    access mode (from DemoForge LLC).

  - Win32 server: Added support for multiple monitors (from DemoForge
    LLC).

  - Win32 server: Improved layout and functionality of the Properties
    dialog.

  - Win32 server: More accurate password handling - now the server
    code tries to distinguish between "empty" and "unset" passwords
    better.

  - Win32 server: New -shareall, -shareprimary and -sharearea
    command-line options, working similarly to the -sharewindow
    option.

  - Win32 server: Fixed problems with restoring desktop wallpaper.

  - Win32 viewer: Fixed bug with not enabling JPEG compression by
    default.

  - Win32 viewer: Fixed bug with not setting proper size of the viewer
    window.

  - Unix server: Port numbers are now calculated modulo 65536 with
    vncviewer's -listen option. That makes it possible to listen on
    TCP ports under 5900.

  - Java viewer: Automatic encoding selection based on measuring
    current network throughput.

  - Other improvements and bugfixes, see ChangeLog files within the
    distribution for more details.

* TightVNC 1.3dev7, release candidate version

  - Win32 server: Fixed the problem with "olemainthreadwndname not
    responding" in service mode under Windows NT 4.0. Under that OS,
    the TightVNC service could hang on logoff.

  - Win32 server: Removed the code for "desktop optimizations" that
    was rather harmful than useful. Hopefully, this should fix
    problems with crashing Delphi applications. Also this should
    prevent settings like font smoothing always set to true on
    disconnect.

  - Win32 server: Fixed the issue with port number edit boxes that
    were labeled incorrectly in the Properties dialog.

  - Win32 server: Disallowing clipboard transfers in view-only mode.

  - Win32 server: Fixed the problem with carriage return/linefeed
    conversion of clipboard data.

  - Win32 server: Fixed the problem with wallpaper being removed only
    after completing the initial screen transmission.

  - Win32 server: Minor improvements in the File Transfers dialog.

  - Win32 server: More context help messages in Properties and File
    Transfers dialogs.

  - Unix server: Fixed a serious bug with sending cursor updates when
    there was no FrameBufferUpdateRequest from that client.

  - Unix server: Fixed problems with building Xvnc on modern linux
    distributions, such as Fedora Core 3.

  - Unix server: Disallowing clipboard transfers for view-only
    clients.

  - Other improvements and bugfixes, see ChangeLog files within the
    distribution for more details.

* TightVNC 1.3dev6, Win32 release candidate version

  - Win32 server: Improved layout of the Properties dialog, added
    context help for every option. Also, current mirror driver status
    is shown in the Hooks tab.

  - Win32 server: Implemented new checkbox "Enable applet params in
    URLs" corresponding to EnableURLParams registry setting.

  - Win32 server: The option "Don't use mirror display driver even if
    available" is now functional.

  - Win32 server: New option "Blank screen on client connections". 
    When set and new client connects, the server's monitor is forced
    to go to power saving mode.

  - Win32 server: Fixed bugs with saving certain settings in the
    registry, and bugs with setting default values when the registry
    is not writable.

  - Win32 server: Fixed a problem with one-pixel mouse offset.

  - Win32 server: Fixed problems with inter-thread locking, this
    should solve "Unhandled message type received" problems.

  - Win32 server: Fixed a problem with the setting "Block remote input
    on local activity", it was not working with DLL hooks disabled.

  - Win32 server: Fixed various problems with file transfer
    implementation. Error handling was improved, the C: drive bug
    under Win98/Me seems to be solved.

  - Win32 viewer: New "Auto" scaling mode. In this mode, the viewer
    scales remote desktop to fit local window or screen size. If the
    window size is changed, the scaling factor is adjusted
    automatically.

  - Win32 viewer: Now the viewer checks server's capabilities and does
    not ever use non-standard protocol messages not supported by the
    server. This change affects file transfers only, as other features
    do not use non-standard protocol messages..

  - Java viewer: New "scale remote cursor" option has been added. It
    allows to reduce or enlarge cursor image in the full-control mode.

  - Java viewer: A cursor repaint problem has been fixed.

  - Other improvements and bugfixes, see ChangeLog files within the
    distribution for more details.

* TightVNC 1.3dev5, development version

  - Win32 server: Support for the "DFMirage" mirror video driver has
    been added (the driver itself will be available separately). Using
    the mirror driver greatly increases the speed and reliability of
    updates, and also desreases CPU utilization on the server.

  - Win32 server: New polling algorithm has been implemented. It's
    similar to that found in x0rfbserver. New algorithm uses minimum
    CPU time when there are no changes on the screen, and detects
    major changes very quickly, resulting in greatly improved
    responsiveness on the client side.

  - Win32 server: Improved methods for filtering screen changes that
    actually do not change anything. New algorithm not only works
    faster, but it also detects changes much more accurately, leaving
    less work to encoders.

  - Win32 viewer: A special mode for Unix users has been implemented:
    when ScrollLock is on, the viewer will send Meta on pressing Alt
    keys.

  - Win32 server: Fixed a problem with view-only clients that were
    enabled full control on just opening the Properties dialog of the
    server.

  - Win32 server: It should not ever hang any more on changing ports
    or the LoopbackOnly setting.

  - Win32 server: DisableTrayIcon and RemoveWallpaper settings are
    working again.

  - Win32 server: The problem with not saving Query Settings has been
    fixed.

  - Win32 server: The polling mode "on event received only" has been
    fixed - it did not work correctly in previous version.

  - Win32 server: Fixed a number of issues with mouse handling,
    including that annoying problem with pointer jumping on slow
    connections.

  - Win32 server: Applied a bugfix from HorizonLive solving the
    problem with crashes or incorrect operation after color depth
    changes on the server's desktop.

  - Win32 viewer: It does not crash any more on entering long
    passwords in the authentication window.

  - Win32 viewer: Positioning and resizing logic of the viewer window
    has been improved.

  - Win32 viewer: Now the viewer chooses more reasonable file names
    for saved .vnc sessions.

  - Win32 viewer: In the full-screen mode, the viewer allows other
    windows to be shown above the remote desktop. This makes hotkeys
    such as Shift-Ctrl-Alt-O useful in the full-screen mode.

  - Unix version: A number of bugfixes -- copying clipboard to
    non-authenticated clients in Xvnc, delayed cursor shape updates in
    Xvnc, and crashing on switching between KDE virtual desktops in
    vncviewer.

  - Unix viewer: Support for the new -autopass option has been added,
    a patch from Ki NETWORKS, Inc.

  - Other changes, see ChangeLog files within the distribution for
    more details.

* TightVNC 1.3dev4, development version

  - Featuring updated Unix version and Java viewer, supporting RFB
    protocol version 3.7, with or without TightVNC protocol
    extensions. Version 3.3 of the protocol is supported as well.

  - Win32 version: Built-in Java viewer was absent in the previous
    development version; now it's available again.

  - Win32 version: Now the server does not crash on remote
    Ctrl-Alt-Del events, and on changing display modes.

  - Win32 version: A problem with reinstalling the service has been
    fixed (WinVNC -reinstall command-line option). In previous
    versions, reinstalling the service could fail if a user did not
    close "Service unregistered" message box within a few seconds.

  - Win32 version: Now the server does not hang on selecting equal RFB
    and HTTP port numbers. A warning is shown instead.

  - Win32 version: The server does not hang on toggling loopback
    connection options, and on changing port/display numbers.

  - Win32 version: WinVNC does not crash on choosing "Kill All
    Clients" during file download.

  - Win32 version: CopyRect handling in the server has been fixed, the
    CopyRect encoding is enabled again.

  - Win32 version: The Advanced Properties dialog of the server has
    been removed. The controls of that dialog has been moved to tabs
    in the Properties dialog.
