Loosen the definition of "lossless" a bit so that we can use high
quality JPEG to refresh damaged parts of the screen. Although this
isn't bit perfect, it is close enough that most users will not be
able to tell the difference.
Level 9 is used rather than level 8 because some monitors have
exaggerated contrast that allows the artefacts from level 8 to be
noticeable.
Resend pixel perfect copies of areas that were previously sent
using a lossy encoder. This is done when there is no normal update
to send, and no congestion.
Move image encoding logic into a central EncodeManager class
This allows us to apply a lot more server logic
independently of which encoder is in use.
Most of this class are things moved over from the
Tight encoder.
Use PixelBuffer objects as the interface for encoders and decoders
This avoid a lot of unnecessary middle men. This also pushes the
responsibility for pixel format conversion into the encoders and
decoders. The new bufferFromBuffer() is used for direct conversion,
rather than PixelTransformer/TransImageGetter.
Encoders/decoders should track the connection object
The connection object is a much more appropriate object for the
decoders and encoders to keep track of. Besides the streams, it also
contains state like connection parameters.
Add support for TurboVNC pseudo-encodings and Grayscale JPEG compression so that, when a TurboVNC viewer is connected, the TigerVNC Server will behave exactly like the TurboVNC Server.
Further optimizations to the Tight encoder to eliminate getImage() overhead. The encoder now directly accesses the framebuffer for solid rectangle computation, JPEG encoding, and color counting (if pixel translation is not required.) Also moved everything in tightEncode.h into the TightEncoder class to eliminate all of the static mess (this will be important later on if we decide to multi-thread the encoder.)
Eliminate GCC signed/unsigned warnings related to encodings: The
encoding in the RFB protocol has always been signed, and signed values
are also used in the specification (ie DesktopName = -307 etc). In the
code, however, unsigned types were used in a number of places, but not
all, which causes warnings. This patch fixes the problem by switching
to signed values everywhere.
