Changes since 3.3.3.1:
vncconnect
New helper program for Xvnc, which causes it to make reverse
connections to a listening VNC viewer. This is similar to
WinVNC's "Add New Client" / -connect feature.
Xvnc
New option -inetd incorporating Andre Moreira's iXvnc functionality.
Fix to hextile encoding, thanks to Michael A. Fetterman - this
may be the cause of the "0 bpp problem".
New connect out feature by using the vncconnect command.
Fix some non-ascii capitalisation issues, thanks to Vlad Harchev.
Fix bounding box calculation for arcs.
Other minor bug fixes.
vncserver
Sets DISPLAY to use unix domain socket if possible (:dpynum
rather than host:dpynum).
Option -kill should now work if you give it $DISPLAY as an argument.
vncviewer
Fix Xaw string copy bug, thanks to Tim Waugh - this fixes the
problems with the password dialog with recent versions of linux
RESTRICTED= variables that were predicated on former U.S. export
regulations. Add CRYPTO=, as necessary, so it's still possible to
exclude all crypto packages from a build by setting MKCRYPTO=no
(but "lintpkgsrc -R" will no longer catch them).
Specifically,
- - All packages which set USE_SSL just lose their RESTRICTED
variable, since MKCRYPTO responds to USE_SSL directly.
- - realplayer7 and ns-flash keep their RESTRICTED, which is based
on license terms, but also gain the CRYPTO variable.
- - srp-client is now marked broken, since the distfile is evidently
no longer available. On this, we're no worse off than before.
[We haven't been mirroring the distfile, or testing the build!]
- - isakmpd gets CRYPTO for RESTRICTED, but remains broken.
- - crack loses all restrictions, as it does not evidently empower
a user to utilize strong encryption (working definition: ability
to encode a message that requires a secret key plus big number
arithmetic to decode).

Changes from 3.3.3 (from the webpage):
Xvnc
* Xvnc now uses a "deferred update" mechanism which enhances
performance in many cases. After any change to the framebuffer,
Xvnc waits for a time (default 40ms) before sending an update to
any waiting clients. This means that more changes tend to get
coalesced together in a single update. The time can be changed
with the -deferupdate option. Setting it to 0 results in the same
behaviour as previous versions of Xvnc.
* There are a couple of security enhancements. The -localhost option
now causes Xvnc to only listen on the loopback interface. This
means that it shouldn't be vulnerable to port scanning. Also a
"too many tries" feature on authentication failure is now
implemented. After five failed attempts, further attempts are
delayed by an exponentially increasing amount, starting at ten
seconds.
vncserver
* Uses SO_REUSEADDR when testing to see which ports are free.
vncviewer
* When given -owncmap in full screen mode, tries to install the
colormap. This works only when no window manager is running.
* The popup window now always uses the default colormap.
* The "backing store" attribute can now be set on the desktop window
via the "backingStore" resource. It defaults to "Always", meaning
the X server should keep the contents of the viewer window when it
gets obscured by other windows.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
