What's New in version 2.0.4:

• Fixed a potential security problem which could allow a logged in user to gain elevated privilegies in file transfers. This problem affected Windows 2000 systems only.
• CPU use was significantly reduced in idle periods when there are no users connected.
• Fixed a problem which resulted in wrong color rendering on 'big-endian' viewers (e.g. PowerPC-based Mac viewers).
• Fixed rendering of semi-transparent mouse cursors. Previously, big black boxes could be seen instead of such cursors.

What's New in version 2.0.3:

• Fixed a bug which prevented file transfers from working properly under Windows 2000.
• Introducing new 'error handler' which allows saving memory dumps on critical errors.
• In systems with swapped left and right mouse buttons, remote mouse events will be adjusted accordingly. As a result, the remote mouse should work just like the local one.
• Fixed a number of problems led to errors on setting service passwords from the installer.
• Not allowing to enter administrative passwords longer than eight characters. This limitation is caused by using standard DES-based VNC-compatible authentication. Previous versions used only the first eight characters anyway but it was possible to enter longer passwords and that could confuse users who did not know about the limitation.
• Fixed a problem with injecting lowercase characters when CapsLock was on on the server. Previous version generated uppercase characters when CapsLock was on, regardless of the Shift state.
• Implemented a special trick to bypass the problem with generating '^6' instead of '6' when using US International keyboard layout. It looks like there is a bug in Windows so we could do nothing better than to cook a workaround specifically for this case.
• Fixed clipboard handling with multiple client connections. Previously, clipboard contents might not be sent to particular clients in certain circumstances.
• Adjusted log verbosity levels for log messages generated by the control interface connection, so that such messages will not overload the log any more.
• Improved support for simple RFB clients that cannot handle desktop size changes.
• Made minor adjustments in the user interface. Specifically, the 'About...' form has been cleaned up, and a typo has been corrected in the Configuration window.

What's New in version 2.0.2:

• Fixes a packaging issue with previous version and includes the fix for Windows DPI scaling feature (that fix was announced in 2.0.1 but was not actually included there). Also, this version adds another small fix for clipboard transfers.

What's New in version 2.0.1:

• It fixes incompatibility with Windows DPI scaling feature, recovers log files "rotation" and fixes code page translations in clipboard transfers.

What´s New in version 2.0:

• Introducing new file transfer subsystem based on new protocol extensions.
• Implemented new server architecture which separates service code from the user interface.
• Screen updates have become reliable.
• Featuring new secure administrative interface.
• There should be no more confusion between "default settings" and "user settings".
• Featuring IP-based access control for incoming connections.
• TightVNC 2.0 distribution has been packaged with new installer.
• Keyboard handling has been improved.

What's New in version 2.0 Beta 4:

• Installer for Windows: Fixed a bug with uninstaller not removing TightVNC entries from Add/Remove Programs list. Also, new installer should remove invalid entries left by previous Beta versions.
• Installer for Windows: Trying to recover registry entries created with wrong permissions by previous Beta versions. Correct permissions to the service-mode configuration should give access only to SYSTEM and to the Administrators group.
• Server for Windows: Fixed a bug with not simulating AltGr (Alt and Ctrl) to produce characters that require AltGr to be entered correctly in current keyboard layout.
• Server for Windows: Fixed cursor shape updates that were encoded and sent incorrectly if the cursor width was not a multiple of 16. That led to disconnects due to broken protocol synchronization.
• Server for Windows: Control interface erroneously tried to read configuration from the registry after it was already given that configuration by the service. That could cause IP access control rules to disappear from the configuration under certain circumstances.
• Server for Windows: Registry entries could be created with wrong permissions while writing configuration or installing initial service-mode passwords.
• Server for Windows: Solved the problem of not shutting down the control interface if the tray menu was open at the moment of shutdown.
• Server for Windows: More logging has been added to trace RFB initialization sequence for client connections.
• Server for Windows: Fixed a problem with sending framebuffer updates for screen areas beyond the requested region.
• Viewer for Windows: New version fixes problems with sending key combinations like Ctrl+A, Ctrl+[ or Ctrl+Shift+^ that should produce control characters with ASCII codes below 32.
• Viewer for Windows: Various other key combinations with Ctrl and AltGr have been fixed.
• Viewer for Windows: Recovered CapsLock functionality that was broken in previous Beta version.
• Viewer for Windows: Key codes have been corrected for a number of keys: F1, F2, F3, F4, "=".
• Viewer for Windows: New viewer will reset keyboard modifiers to their actual state on restoring keyboard focus. After leaving the viewer window with Alt+Tab and returning to the viewer again, Alt could get "stuck" and one would need to press Alt once again to restore correct keyboard handling.
• Viewer for Windows: Win key presses will not be propagated to the server any more. Otherwise, combinations like Win+R would have both local effect (e.g. open the "Run" prompt) and also open the Start menu remotely.
• Viewer for Windows: Special ScrollLock functionality has been restored. When ScrollLock is on, the viewer will send Meta on pressing Alt. This may be handy when working on Unix servers.
• Viewer for Windows: Fixed a problem with adjusting the listening port number using arrow buttons near the text field. It could add thousands separator and produce invalid numbers in the text field.

What's New in version 2.0 Beta 3:

• Server and Viewer for Windows: There were many enhancements and fixes related to keyboard handling. Keyboard handling is the primary focus of this Beta version.
• Server for Windows: A bug with clipboard handling has been fixed. When running as a service, TightVNC Server could crash if a user copied something to the clipboard.
• Server for Windows: There was a bug which caused the control interface to crash if the server had a lot of IP addresses. The problem has been resolved.
• Server for Windows: File uploads could fail at changing file modification timestamps. This bug has been fixed.
• Server for Windows: Fixed a bug with Web access not enabled by default.
• Viewer for Windows: When run with the -help command-line option, the viewer listed a lot of options it actually does not support. This has been fixed. Unsupported options have been removed, supported options have received better documentation.
• Viewer for Windows: Unsupported command-line options were treated as host names to connect to. Now the viewer will report error messages on discovering unknown options in the command line.
• Viewer for Windows: The viewer used to connect to nowhere if it could not read the specified .vnc file. Now it should exit correctly after showing the error message.
• Viewer for Windows: In connection options, the check box "Request shared session" will be disabled after the connection has been established.
• There were other minor improvements and fixes.
