He also extended the library to support RFB 3.7. Furthermore, he contributed TightVNC file transfer protocol support to LibVNCServer! -<p> - <strong>2005/05/25</strong> LibVNCClient now features ZRLE decoding! -<p> - <strong>2005/05/15</strong> Another round of valgrinding completed. This time it is augmented by changes instigated by using Linus' sparse. In the course, the complete sources were converted to ANSI C. -<p> - <strong>2005/05/07</strong> The member socketInitDone was renamed to socketState, and no longer contains a bool value. This allows us to quit a server cleanly from the event loop via rfbShutdownServer(), so that the structures can be cleaned up properly. This is demonstrated in examples/example.c. -<p> - <strong>2005/01/21</strong> The function rfbMakeMaskFromAlphaSource() applies a Floyd-Steinberg dither to approximate a binary mask from a cursor with alpha channel. A demonstration can be found in test/cursortest.c. -<p> - <strong>2005/01/16</strong> Renamed this page to reflect that LibVNCClient is actually very usable. -<p> - <strong>2005/01/16</strong> Karl Runge has done awesome work to support cursors with alpha blending! You can try it with x11vnc as in CVS, or wait a few more days for x11vnc to be released officially! -<p> - <strong>2005/01/15</strong> Happy new year! It begins with a new macro recorder based on LibVNCServer/LibVNCClient using perl as script language. The macro recorder is itself written in perl, and writes out perl scripts, acting as a VNC proxy, so that you can connect a vncviewer to it, and it records all your input, possibly looking for a certain button, image, word, etc. before continuing. I called it VisualNaCro, and it's in CVS. -<p> - <strong>2004/12/20</strong> Just before christmas, a new release! Version 0.7 brings you the first non-beta of LibVNCServer... -<p> - <strong>2004/12/02</strong> Finally MinGW32 support. I only had problems with a vncviewer which wouldn't connect to localhost: I use SDLvncviewer... -<p> - <strong>2004/12/01</strong> LibVNCClient is getting better and better... Expect a very powerful client soon! -<p> - <strong>2004/10/16</strong> LibVNCServer has automated test, thanks to LibVNCClient (included). It doesn't do ZRLE yet, and exposed some bugs, the only remaining of these is CoRRE (not sure yet if it's a bug in the client or the server). -<p> - <strong>2004/09/14</strong> Added - <a href=http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/success.html> - Success stories</a>. -<p> - <strong>2004/09/07</strong> The API was cleaned up. The structures and functions now have a prefix (mostly "rfb", sometimes "zrle" or "sra") in order not to clutter the namespace, while the structure's members don't need such a prefix. -<p> - <strong>2004/08/17</strong> I finally came around to fix mouse behaviour in QEMU's VNC frontend for Windows 98. Please find the patch <a href=qemu/>here</a>. If mouse behaves strangely, try to wiggle the pointer to a free spot on the desktop, hit Ctrl+Shift and release them. After that, the mouse should behave nicely. -<p> - <strong>2004/06/07</strong> After silently being added almost a year ago, libvncclient's API was modified for real use, and three examples were added: ppmtest (a very simple demo), SDLvncviewer, and vnc2mpg (which lets you record your VNC session to a movie). Automated regression tests of the libraries are planned. -<p> - <strong>2004/06/02</strong> <a href=http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/>x11vnc</a>-0.6.1 was released! This reflects the long way the original, small example has gone, improved in many possible ways and having a broad user base. -<p> - <strong>2004/05/29</strong> Some <a href=qemu/>patches</a> were created for <a href=http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/>QEMU</a>, a FAST! emulator by Fabrice Bellard, to control those sessions with a vncviewer. -<p> - <strong>2004/02/29</strong> LibVNCServer is listed as a project using <a href=http://valgrind.kde.org/>Valgrind</a>! -<p> - <strong>2003/11/07</strong> Version 0.6 is out! x11vnc performance boosts! You no longer need a c++ compiler in order to have ZRLE coding! LinuxVNC was added (This is to the text console what x11vnc is to X11)! -<p> - <strong>2003/02/21</strong> rdp2vnc is in rdesktop's CVS. -<p> - <strong>2003/02/19</strong> A preliminary patch for rdesktop (CVS) to make -rdp2vnc, a translator from Windows Terminal Server's protocol to VNC's protocol, -is <a href=rdesktop-cvs+vnc.diff.gz>available</a>. It needs a new version of -libvncserver; try CVS until I release 0.6. -<p> - <strong>2003/02/09</strong> Version 0.5 is out! Features include autoconf based configure, rpm package (YMMV), cleanup of directory structure, NEW x11vnc! ZRLE encoding! HTTP tunnelling through LibVNCServer's HTTP support! Many bug fixes! -<p> - <strong>2002/07/28</strong> Version 0.4 is out! Biggest feature: NewFB encoding. Quite a few bugfixes also (Thanks to all!). -<p> - <strong>2001/12/14</strong> A new version of - <a href=http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libvncserver/rdesktop-1.1.0+vnc-0.2.tar.gz>rdesktop+vnc</a> is available! - (Includes support for other platforms keyboard mapping with plain rdesktop!) -<p> - <strong>2001/10/23</strong> Added a link to my homepage at the end. -<p> - <strong>2001/10/18</strong> I released the rdp2vnc extensions as well as - patches for general keyboard handling, working inside Xvnc and - process_text2 (the famous "font:" error) to rdesktop. Please find it on - the <a href=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32584> - download page</a>. -<p> - <strong>2001/10/13</strong> A snapshot of - <a href=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32584> - LibVNCServer</a> and - <a href=http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32584> - RDP2VNC</a> - is now available.

There are - 4 bytes per pixel, because 3 (which are only used instead of all 4) is - such an odd number. Then the server is initialized and a blocking event - loop is started. - -<p> - Of course, this program only shows rubbish (whatever is in the frame - buffer you malloc'd), but it proves that writing a server can be - very easy. - -<p> - For details (especially if you want to write a real server) look into the - provided examples, pnmshow.c and example.c, and into the README.
