Release Notes

Significant changes relative to 1.0 beta1:

1. The Windows TurboVNC Viewer should now work properly with displays that use a 24-bit (as opposed to a 32-bit) pixel format (this includes Remote Desktop and Citrix sessions.)

2. Eliminated the use of the dangerous alloca() (stack-based allocation) function in Xvnc and replaced it with heap-based allocation (malloc() and free().)

3. Eliminated a segfault in pthread_join() which would occur under certain circumstances when using multithreading in the TurboVNC Server.

4. To maintain consistency with other versions of VNC, added -nohttpd option to vncserver as an alias for -nohttp.

5. Fixed an issue whereby certain applications which draw hundreds of thousands of tiny lines or points on the screen would cause the TurboVNC Viewer to abort with an "unhandled message type" error or would cause the viewer to freeze for several minutes.

6. Fixed a security loophole whereby RealVNC viewers were able to connect with a blank password if PAM and OTP authentication were enabled on the TurboVNC Server and the OTP was not set.
