New in the 0.9.14 x11vnc release:
-
Added support for the X Composite Extension. For subwindow/appshare
modes this allows sharing the respective window/app when it
is partially or completely off-screen as XComposite renders
the window contents to an off-screen buffer. Before, updating
of the window contents would stop once it went even partially
off-screen. -
Added XInput 2 multi-pointer support which allows multiple clients
to view and control a single shared screen, all having their
own mouse pointers and keyboard foci. For in-depth info, read
http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/master/beier-christian-2011-07-19/PDF/beier.pdf,
especially section 5.1. -
Added some support for running under Wayland via the deskshot utility
found in the misc/ subdirectory.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
- Separated x11vnc sources from LibVNCServer. The project is now
hosted at GitHub under https://github.com/LibVNC/x11vnc/.
