Software Update: TightVNC 2.8.11

There are several programs to control computers remotely. TightVNC is one such program and, as the name implies, it uses VNC. ‘Tight’ refers to the use of compression, so that the program also performs well over slow connections. Since version 2.0, TightVNC is only suitable for Windows 2000 and above, Windows 9x/NT and Linux users should version 1.3.10 keep using. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

TightVNC 2.8.11

• Server for Windows: Implemented performance improvements that may notably increase update speed and optimize CPU usage.
• Viewer for Windows: Fixed a problem that might cause the viewer to continue sending keyboard events even after minimizing a full-screen window (sf bug #1433).
• Viewer for Windows: Fixed an incorrect calculation in keyboard handling, which unlikely caused any problems though (sf bug #1422).
• Source Code for Windows (Server and Viewer): Migrated to Visual Studio 2015 and MSBuild tool set as the primary build environment.
