A stable release of noVNC is now available. Lots of changes have been made since the last release, but the highlights are:

Application:

  • Added French and Portuguese (Brazil) translations.
  • The novnc_proxy command (earlier launch.sh) is now able to interface better towards Websockify and now has it's own man page.

Library:

  • RTCDataChannel is now supported as a communication channel, an alternative to WebSockets.
  • Resizes of the viewport are handled in a more modern way. This allows our library to not only react on browser window changes, but to size changes of the screen element as well.
  • Fixed a bug with the Alt key on Firefox.
  • Fixed a disconnect that happened when using some VNC servers. The error displayed in this case was "Error decoding rect: TypeError".
  • Plain authentication passwords now support longer passwords, which can be useful if you're using a password manager.
  • Support for Internet Explorer has been dropped. This made it possible to use more modern features and clean up a large number of workarounds.
