MultiVNC 0.8.0 - "Hello New World" - 2024-12-06

Added a scale-to-fit view mode which is now the default. Previous 1-to-1 view mode can still be toggled.
Improved fullscreen mode to show less controls and more of the remote view.
Improved toolbar icons to use scalable resources that look good for any display resolution as well as light and dark display mode.
Added MacOS packaging.

MultiVNC 0.7.0 - "A step in between" - 2023-11-05

Added record/replay of user input. You can now record a VNC session and replay this 'macro' later.
Added support for entering credentials on login and saving them in bookmarks.
Added translations into German and Spanish.
Added flatpak packaging.
Added easy emailing of bug reports.
Added optional OpenSSL support (instead of GnuTLS).
Added ability to listen on IPv6 addresses.
Added and fixed Linux, MacOS and Windows continous integration.
Fixed the portable edition for Windows: it is now truly portable as it saves its preferences into a file under Windows now, and is not using the registry.

MulticastVNC now supports the Ultra encoding and features a freely sizeable receive buffer in addition to the OS-dependent socket receive buffer.
The new MulticastVNC flow control adapts the server's transmission rate to the capabilities of the network and clients.
MultiVNC is now able to connect to Apple Remote Desktop servers.
It is now possible to select the desired VNC encoding.
Encrypted connections now work on Windows as well.
Added a keyboard grab button that allows to enter arbitrary key combinations like Ctrl-Alt-Del into MultiVNC without being interpreted by the local OS. Works on UNIX by now.
This time really fixed the bug with the viewer becoming unresponsive under high multicast loads.
Fixed not being able to enter IPv6 addresses.

Changed default MulticastVNC receive buffer size to 5120 KB to play it safe.
Shared windows are now view-only on Linux clients. Having the local cursor warped here and there is quite distracting.
Window sharing on Windows has no more trayicon and distracting setup dialog.
Window sharing should be more stable now.
Link latency measuring is way more exact now.
Fixed crash on startup when toolbar was disabled.
Fixed Windows build. MultiVNC 0.4 was unusable.

MultiVNC can now connect to IPv6 servers!
MulticastVNC now incorporates a NACK mechanism which makes multicasting a lot more reliable: Lost packets are retransmitted if the server supports it.
MultiVNC now supports QoS: data sent to a VNC server can be marked for expedited forwarding!
Fixed bug where changing edge connector settings would crash MultiVNC.

Implemented window sharing: You can now beam one of your windows to the remote side. Works on UNIX and Windows.
Implemented Edge Connector: You can now tell MultiVNC that one of your screen edges should be the border to the remote display. When you move the pointer over this edge, MultiVNC will take over your mouse and keyboard and send your input to the remote side. When the pointer is moved back towards the opposite edge on the remote screen, you're back on your local desktop.
Implemented FastRequest feature: You can now set an interval at which MultiVNC continously asks the server for updates instead of just asking after each received server message. This should improve framerate on high latency links.
Fixed a bug where a fast VNC server would make MultiVNC GUI unresponsive on a slow client.
Fixed bug where saving log or screenshot would terminate the connection or even crash on some machines.
Fixed bug where setting up connection would take very long due to unnecessary DNS lookups.

MulticastVNC incorporated! You can now connect to a MulticastVNC enabled server, e.g. based on libvncserver.
Listen mode (Reverse VNC) implemented. Via tabs it is possible to listen for and serve multiple incoming connections.
Bookmarks are working now.
Clipboard data is now properly encoded.
Fix bug with canvas centering.
Fix bug where disconnecting from a fast server would terminate MultiVNC.
Fix really nasty bug where listening on windows would take 100% CPU.
