What's new in x11vnc 0.9.12
Sep 13, 2010
- A compile time error when using --with-system-libvncserver to point to LibVNCServer 0.9.7 was fixed.
- A bug from the forced use of Xdefs.h is worked around.
- The kdm display manager is now detected when trying not to get killed by the display manager.
- One can now specify the maximum number of displays that can be created in -create mode via X11VNC_CREATE_MAX_DISPLAYS.
New in x11vnc 0.9.11 (Aug 9, 2010)
- The SSL enabled Java VNC Viewer Makefile has been modified so that the jar files that are built are compatible back to Java 1.4.
- In -create/-unixpw mode, the environment variable FD_USERPREFS may be set to a filename in the user's home directory that includes default username:options values (so the options do not need to be typed every time at the login prompt).
- The source tree is synchronized with the most recent libvncclient.
- The correct header files are now used when an external LibVNCServer is used.

- The Java viewer applet is downloadable via the VNC port as well as the HTTP port.
- If x11vnc is not built with the Avahi Zeroconf library, an external helper program is used instead.
- A launcher for naive users is provided in x11vnc.desktop.
- The solid background color option works on the Mac OS X console.
New in x11vnc 0.9.5 (Oct 24, 2008)
- Symmetric key encryption using the RC4, AES, Blowfish, and 3DES ciphers is supported via the '-enc cipher:keyfile' option.
