Accept a cfg as an argument as an alt way to start the viewer
The user can specify a tigervnc configuration file as an argument to the
viewer. Previously the viewer assumed this to be a server, but now we
will first check if there is any file matching the given argument. If
so, try to load the content of that file, like we normally do.
Fixes issue #38.
Fully implement support for alpha cursor pseudo encoding.
Alpha cursors are not supported in java on Windows so disable
it in that case. Ideally it would be nice to be able to test
whether or not the client OS supports it, but at the moment
MS Windows is the only one that I'm aware of that doesn't.
Make all viewer parameters static. Viewer instances are isolated from each other by spawning a completely new process for each viewer, rather than simply starting a new thread. All dialogs were redesigned to better match the look of the native viewer, and also to be more tolerant of sizing differences between platforms.
Fixes numerous problems with the SSH tunneling implementation
on the java viewer and adds many significant new SSH-related
features. SSH tunneling is now highly configurable via the
both the command line and GUI. The embedded client can parse
openssh config files. An external client may be specified,
along with a custom arguments template.
Significant improvements to the Java viewer UI to
make it more robust and tolerant of new tabs, fonts,
etc. TextFields and editable ComboBoxes that are
specific to integer values now only accept integer
input.
Add multiple monitor spanning feature to java viewer
Adds support for spanning multiple monitors in "Extended" mode
to the Java viewer. Allows for spanning when maximizing in
addition to just full-screen mode. Seems a bit unpredictable on
MS Windows 7 (ie: depends on window placement, which screen is
set as primary, etc.), but this appears to be the behavior of
the OS itself.
r5142 and r5149 borrowed code from the TurboVNC viewer, which has different Configuration parameter logic. This caused an exception in the usage() method
r5138 did not completely resolve the problem with clipboard data consuming too much heap space. Large amounts of clipboard data could still cause the heap size to grow to huge sizes. This patch tries to address the problem by opening a Reader to the underlying IO stream and then reading only up to MaxCutText characters. The garbage collector is invoked manually rather than waiting for the JVM to do it in order to prevent the heap size from growing in between JVM invoked garbage collections.
Re-introduces embedded applet mode for the java viewer. On Windows and Linux, the embedded applet can be dragged from the browser window and detached from the browser process. The mouse gesture for detaching the applet is ALT+drag on Windows and SHIFT+drag on Linux.
Copied Lion fullScreen code from TurboVNC viewer. This is a more robust implementation and does not suffer from Java bugs 8009911 or 4783448 like the existing code did. CMakeLists file was also updated to be more similar to the TurboVNC cmake file. This wasn't strictly necessary but it simplifies things a bit.
Fixes a condition where too much data on the local clipboard causes the client to exceed the max heap size and exit. Since the server will, by default, discard clipboard transfers greater than 256KB anyway, a parameter was added which sets the default max clipboard size that the client will hold to 256KB also.
Make exception handling more user friendly. Not all exceptions are 'errors' (for example, exiting the server intentionally via the window manager's logoff button).
Shortened SSH tunneling System property names, fixed problem with parsing of '-via' cmd line option, fixed intermittent problem with SSH password dialog.
Implemented rfb/Configuration similar to the native client methods. Added equivalent cmd line options for all native client options except "-menuKey", which needs a little more work on the GUI side before it can be added.
Re-implemented SSH tunneling features in Java viewer based on TurboVNC native client method. Adds support for string substitutions of via command, as well as a '-tunnel' option for tunneling directly to VNC server host (also support string substitutions). This implementation requires the vncServerName to be the last argument specified to the viewer, however this is consistent with the behavior of the native client and does not appear to cause any problems when using the viewer in standalone, applet, or jnlp modes.
