x11vnc 0.9.14
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/.
