Packaging changes: These packages were built with libjpeg-turbo 1.4.1: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/1.4.1/ This improves performance on 64-bit Mac clients, relative to TurboVNC 2.0 beta1.
Significant changes since 2.0 beta1: [1] A new security configuration file directive (no-httpd) has been introduced in order to disable the built-in HTTP server in the TurboVNC Server on a system-wide basis. [2] A new security configuration file directive (no-x11-tcp-connections) has been introduced in order to disable X11 TCP connections to the TurboVNC Server on a system-wide basis. This is the equivalent of passing "-nolisten tcp" to every instance of the TurboVNC X server running on a particular server machine. [3] The Java TurboVNC Viewer now supports the "grabkeyboard", "resizemode", "desktopwidth", and "desktopheight" directives in .vnc configuration files. These directives were added to the Windows TurboVNC Viewer in 2.0 beta but were left out of the Java viewer due to an oversight. [4] The default xstartup.turbovnc script that the TurboVNC Server creates will now launch the Mate desktop on Ubuntu 15, if it is installed and if 3D window manager support is not activated. The Gnome Flashback session under Ubuntu 15 cannot be made to work properly with TurboVNC, for unknown reasons, but Mate is a better solution anyhow. [5] The drawing performance of the Java TurboVNC Viewer when running under Oracle Java 7 and later on OS X has been dramatically improved (by 3-7x for 2D application workloads and 35-50% for 3D application workloads.) When running the standalone TurboVNC Viewer, Apple Java will probably still perform better on Macs containing nVidia and Intel HD Graphics GPUs, but on Macs containing Intel Iris GPUs, Oracle Java is now the fastest solution (Java 2D is apparently not accelerated in Apple Java 6 on these newer GPUs.) See the User's Guide for more details. [6] Fixed an issue whereby pressing any of the extra buttons on mice with more than 3 buttons (Microsoft calls these "X buttons") would cause the Java TurboVNC Viewer to send a left button press event to the TurboVNC Server without sending a corresponding button release event. The Java TurboVNC Viewer now ignores any X button events, since X11 doesn't support them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't Limit Your Business.
