JollysFastVNC 0.96.62


JollysFastVNC is a VNC client which aims to become the best VNC client on the Mac. When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there are enough VNC clients out there to support it. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. Without a proper viewer people can’t access ScreenRecycler in a way I imagined. So I started programming JollysFastVNC to enable people using ScreenRecycler. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client. It’s still in the early stages of development, even though somewhat usable and fast.

What’s new:
Version 0.96.62:
- Added ‘-L’ ssh switch awareness. If you use a ssh connection and use the ‘-L’ option to eg. ‘-L 9999:foo.bar:3000′ it will use the local port 9999 to connect to the tunnel. This way you can connect to other machines on a remote network that are only reachable via one ssh host.
- Added internal rich cursor support (not visible yet) to prevent unbehaved servers like ultra vnc sc from working.
- Workaround possible problem in sparkle framework.
- duplicate bonjour hosts fix for large networks.
- Changed source control system to git – version numbers will now look different.
