-----------
-
-x11vnc: clipboard, cursor, updates interruptible by input (doesn't work yet)
-extra_bytes in rfbDrawCharWithClip.
-tested mouse buttons make copy rect, but text is not marked as mod.
-cursor drawing: set optional grain to mark bigger rectangles as drawn (else
- you end up with thousands of one-pixel-rectangles to encode).
-selectbox: scroll bars
-documentation
- hint that to mark very tiny regions as
- modified is possibly inefficient for the encodings.
- (a trail of points could better be a small rectangle).
-
-later:
-------
-
-authentification schemes (secure vnc)
- IO function ptr exists; now explain how to tunnel and implement a
- client address restriction scheme.
-autoconf? at least Sun Solaris and Windows compilation
- (maybe Michael makes a small autconf)
-using Hermes library for fast colour translations.
-CORBA
-internal HTTP tunnelling feature (needs a special GET target and a few
- changes to java applet).
-
-done:
------
-
-.x11vnc: sometimes XTest fails (but doesn't with x0rfbserver)
-.DeferUpdateTime (timing problems!)
-.empty cursor sending doesn't work.
-.udp (need an rfbClientPtr udpClient in rfbScreen)
- input only; nearly untested (don't have the clients).
-.font handling: bpp>1
-.test copyRect and pthreads.
-.optionally dont draw rich cursors as xcursors
-.cursor smears on IRIX with pthreads, then has bus error. has to be a mutex
- problem in cursor routines.
-.fix bug in http (java) client with big endian server: byte swapping is broken
- (was a cursorshape which was sent too soon; java vncviewer assumes
- a rich cursor shape to be always 1 byte per pixel, however, framebuffer
- updates before setting the pixel format can be server format)
-.rfbConnect, ConnectToTcpAddr
-.update to newest TridiaVNC version (1.2.1).
-.adapt rdp2vnc (rdesktop)
-.pthreads concept: How to iterate over rfbClientPtr's? So that it can be
- either called from rfbProcessEvents (which locks the list mutex)
- or from the main thread (where the background loop sometimes
- locks the list mutex).
- - cursor drawing!
- - cursor setting!
- - rfbMarkRectAsModified
- (did that by adding a refcount to clients secured by refCountMutex;
- it also was necessary to check for cl->sock<0 in SendUpdateBuf)
-.translate.c: warning about non 8-bit colourmaps
- 16-bit colourmaps are 192k -> no use without fast net.
-.rfbCloseClient
-.set colourmap
-.support 3 bytes per pixel
-.cursors
-.cutpaste
-.httpd
-.other encodings
-.test drawing of cursors when not using xcursor or rich cursor encoding
-fix bug with odd width (depends on client depth: width has to be multiple of server.bytesPerPixel/client.bytesPerPixel). only raw!! -> bug of vncviewer!
-.use sraRegion from Wez instead of miregion, because it is much smaller
-. - connection gone and then reconnect is a problem
- the reason: there are in fact three threads accessing
- the clientPtr: input, output and the application thread.
- if you kill the viewer or do rfbCloseClient, all of those
- three have to be warned that this is happening.
- -> rfbClientConnectionGone can only be called by the outer loop
- (with background loop, it is input, else it is processEvents).
-. fixed pthreads issues:
- cursor deadlock,
- CopyRect deadlock.
-. when copying a region with modified parts, they were not marked
- as modified
