User’s Guide for TurboVNC 3.3 beta2

Release Notes

Significant changes relative to 3.3 beta1:

1. Fixed a regression introduced by 3.3 beta1[5] whereby the TurboVNC Viewer threw a fatal error ("Cannot load from object array because 'this.sessions' is null") if the TurboVNC Session Manager dialog was used to kill the last TurboVNC session running under the user's account on the host.

2. The vncserver script now checks whether the Xvnc process associated with a TurboVNC session is running before including the session in the session list. This prevents an issue whereby, if the Xvnc process was killed without using the vncserver script (such as by rebooting the host without shutting down the session) and a local session or another X proxy reused the orphaned session's display number, then the TurboVNC Session Manager listed the orphaned session but could not connect to it.

3. Fixed an issue in the TurboVNC Server whereby the zlib stream of a server-to-client UTF-8 clipboard transfer was sometimes truncated if Compression Level 0 was used, causing the VNC viewer to abort.

4. Added a new advanced parameter (HotkeyModifiers) to the TurboVNC Viewer that can be used to change the combination of modifier keys that trigger the various hotkey sequences.

5. The TurboVNC Viewer's built-in SSH client has been rebased on v2.27.7 of the JSch fork, which includes several minor security, compatibility, and performance improvements.

6. Added a new turbovncserver.conf variable ($vglrun) that can be used to specify the location of the vglrun script or to specify additional arguments to vglrun, if the window manager is being launched using VirtualGL.
