Software Update: RealVNC 5.2.2

There are several programs based on the vnc protocol that can be used to manage computers remotely. RealVNC gets its name from the fact that it is published by several people who have tinkered with this protocol from the very beginning at AT&T. RealVNC is available in one free and two commercial performances. Version 5.2.2 has been released with the following improvements:

Windows

• the DisplayDevice VNC parameter now remotes virtual monitors that have been force-detected.
• FIXED: vnckeyhelper.exe, a support utility that enables connected users to perform privileged key presses such as Alt+Tab securely, no longer checks online for revoked certificates.

UNIX

• NEW: Support for Ubuntu 14.10. Note that if you are using VNC Server in Virtual Mode, you will need to change the default desktop environment.
• FIXED: VNC Server in Virtual Mode no longer crashes on low-color depth displays when a session is shared and a second user connects.

Mac OS X

• NEW: Support for OS X 10.10 (Yosemite).
