This release includes partial support for two new
features (basic macros support and the HTTP Socket
client code) but the server is still incomplete.
Bugs affecting the Black Berry and JBlend VMs, a
number of small bugs affecting all platforms, as
well as a major bug that also affected all
platforms have been fixed. A number of small UI
improvements have been incorporated, and the
popular "Downloading" icon has been updated to a
"Working" icon.
This is the first beta. This version should be fully functional on all mobile devices supporting Sockets. This also includes a number of new features, including local cursor mode, customizable mouse movement, double-click key, support for 8-letter passwords (no more array problems on log in), as well as a number of bug fixes and improvements on NCM. The primary downloads have also had the debugging information removed, making the program smaller, faster, and more stable.
Nokia phones should work well with this release, and will
not lead to an Out Of Memory Error. It can still get
confused if the server sends it data it is not expecting, or
if the server combines updates. It also includes a Nokia
Compatibility Mode, AKA NCM. Users should notice quite
an improvement (if not using a Nokia phone, or a phone
which has the same problems as Nokia phones) when this
option is disabled, and J2ME VNC will not get confused
(stop working).
This release contains only two changes, designed to make it work on
Nokia phones. If you are not having problems, don't bother upgrading.
It queues keypresses and processes them outside the event loop (good
for all phones). It also queues input and does both input and output
in one thread (an evil hack for Nokia phones).
The problems with the Nokia and Motorola phones should be gone, and the application should be full functional on all J2ME-enabled mobile phones that support Sockets. It is also available in English, Greek, German, French, and Polish.
