Release Notes - June 24, 2010 - Version 100624

• Bugfix: in relative mode (mouse captured) clicks were not registered unless the mouse was also moved during the click; fixed.

• Transparent keyboard feature added (under Keyboard menu). This new mode allows most special "system" key sequences to be sent to the attached host without affect laptop. In regular mode, they act locally instead. These special keys include:

  1. Windows key (L and R)
  2. Command key (L and R)
  3. Printscreen, Pause
  4. Alt-F4, Alt-Tab, Command-Tab
  5. Caps, Num and Scroll lock keys

• Transparent keyboard supported on Windows and Mac OS X but not Linux yet.

• International keyboard support on Mac OS X: when in transparent mode only. Please note that host and laptop should be same input locale.

• Release captured mouse key sequence changed (back) to Alt-Ctrl-Shift (left side).

Release Notes - October 30, 2009 - Version 091030

• Bugfix: USB Keyboard/Mouse not detected on certain versions of Windows, sometimes.

• Add support for 32-bit Linux (Debian and RPM packaging).

• When laptop's screen is 768 pixel or less in height, tool bar is made smaller to save screen space.

• "Alt" removed from set of keys needed to escape relative mouse mode. Just press Control and Shift at the same time now.

• Removed tooltip (yellow text) on main video window, it was always in the way and didn't add much info.

• Mouse buttons can be swapped to support lefties (a user perference).

• Performance statistics are now word-wrapped correctly, when toolbar is vertical mode.
