Win2VNC / News: Recent posts

As may have been noticed by the file dates, this project is no longer actively maintained nor developed.

There is a minor version change from 1.4 to 1.5 because a significant amount and an important piece of code has changed to fix to old bugs. Because the effects mentioned in bugs 1102089 and 1102083 are absent in vncviewer 3.3.7, portions of that code affecting the key mapping are ported to Win2VNC. Also ‘flasher’ support is removed and Windows CE support is dropped. Due to an upgrade of Inno Setup installer, Windows versions 95, 98 and ME are no longer supported.

Exception violation when reading the ignore scroll lock option from the registry. This setting will be written when the registry when the option Save as default was checked in the options dialog upon a click on the OK button.
