Release Notes

Significant changes relative to 0.5.1:

  1. Integrated TightVNC 1.3.10 enhancements and fixes, including 64-bit support for Linux and Solaris. See the TightVNC Change Log (WhatsNew or WhatsNew.txt) for more details.

  2. When connecting a TigerVNC or TightVNC Viewer to a TurboVNC server, the TurboVNC server will now translate JPEG quality levels into actual JPEG quality and subsampling using the same translation table used by the TigerVNC Server. See the TurboVNC User's Guide for more details.

  3. Created the TurboVNC User's Guide, which mostly consists of the TurboVNC chapters that were formerly in the VirtualGL User's Guide.

  4. Fixed an issue on OpenSolaris whereby a TurboVNC session would start but would display a blank X Windows screen with no window manager. This was due to the vncserver script passing an argument of -nolisten local to Xvnc on all Sun platforms, and this doesn't work on OpenSolaris. The -nolisten local option was necessary to get Xvnc to work on earlier versions of Solaris, but it is no longer necessary with Solaris 10. If you are running TurboVNC on an older Solaris release, then you can pass -nolisten local to /opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver to get back the behavior of TurboVNC 0.5.x (or uncomment that line in the vncserver script.)
