Description: This release delivers fixes of a few bugs, especially the broken Preferences dialog functionality on Java >= 1.6.0_13. The new build also provides better compatibility with systems running under VMware. To improve reproduction of mouse moves and drags, the Mouse command was enhanced to generate multiple events on the trajectory between the start and target locations ("smooth" mouse moves and drags). See the 1.3.16 bug list for details.

Older Releases

VNCRobot v1.3.x
Description:
Version 1.3 contains new features like major extensions of the scripting language, a new image comparison algorithm, rich text editor with syntax highlighting and many more. There's also a new VNCRobot Thread API allowing to create automated tasks programmatically from any Java application.

Version 1.3.1 adresses mainly bugs on Windows and performance issues. A new document describing the image comparison issues was elaborated into the OLH. There's also a new template wizard allowing to insert code templates. This build has some serious flaws in the scripting module and should not be used in production. See the list of bugs fixed in v1.3.2 for more info.

Versions 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 contain just bug fixes.

Version 1.3.4 delivers both bug fixes and minor features. There are two significant extensions. The first one is support of the ServerCutText RFB message. If your VNC server can send the updates in the clipboard content, you take advantage of it in your scripts via a new variable called _SERVER_CLIPBOARD_CONTENT or new command 'Waitfor clipboard'.

Another enhancement is support of nested variables. This is useful when one needs to process multiple matches resulting from a search in the remote desktop image. See the documentation of the Var command for more information.

Version 1.3.5 contains again just bug fixes.

Version 1.3.6 features several bug fixes, updates and enhancements. Note that a major bug in the search image comparison mechanism was identified in 1.3.6. Use build 1.3.7 to execute scripts relying on image search.
  1. A serious bug in the 'search' image comparison module was fixed. See bug 13032 for more information.
  2. The 'search' image comparison module was enhanced to handle pass rates to allow search for non-exact matches. For more information see the updated Compareto command specification. Note that the side effect of this enhancement is that the ImageComparisonModule API was updated and is not compatible with previous releases. Migration to the new version is described in the API documentation.
  3. There are two new options in the VNCRobot preferences which allow to fine tune image comparison performance. See the Compareto screen of the Preferences window.
  4. A context pop up menu allowing fast access to the File menu items was implemented for editor tabs. Right click a tab with script file name to try.
  5. A new implicit variable _CURTIME was implemented. When used in a script it returns the current system time in miliseconds. This allows to measure time elapsed between command calls or remote server responses which is neccessary for load, stress & performance testing.
Note that since 1.3.6 the code is compiled using Java 1.5.0_12 and the old Java 1.4.2 is not supported any more.

Version 1.3.7 features several bug fixes and provides fix of bug 13040 which broke the image search functionality in VNCRobot 1.3.6.

Version 1.3.8 delivers bug fixes and several enhancements:
  1. Algorithm of the 'search' image comparison module was improved to deliver 2-5 times faster performance depending on the search parameters.
  2. GUI was enhanced to provide debug capabilities for troubleshooting of failed image comparisons. The new functionality is documented in the Troubleshooting Image Comparisons chapter of the Image Comparisons With VNCRobot 1.3 document.
  3. It is now possible to perform offline image comparisons through a simple command line interface. This will allow to use VNCRobot as an image comparison tool in other testing frameworks. See the VNCRobot 1.3 CLI Options document for more information.
Version 1.3.9 delivers further fine tuning of the image search algorithm and fixes of several bugs which were mainly introduced by enhancements in the previous v1.3.8.

Version 1.3.10 delivers a few bug fixes plus two new features:
  1. Support of 8-bit and 16-bit colors (pixel formats). This feature was delivered based on feedback from a few users who use the tool in unusual configurations, e.g. with VNC server running on Windows CE system. Note that for the sake of compatibility VNCRobot by default continues to use 32-bit color mode. Custom settings of the pixel format can be made in the Preferences->Tools-RFB Preferences window.
  2. Limited support of image transparency in image search operations.  Transparent or semi-transparent pixels in template images are skipped by the search image algorithm which allows to make the image search more generic and robust against background or graphic component color changes. More details ar available in the Image Comparison With VNCRobot 1.3 document.
Version 1.3.11 delivers a few bug fixes and  a new Java API allowing to use VNCRobot image comparison module classes in 3rd party Java applications. For more information see class ImageComparisonModuleFactory in VNCRobot 1.3 Open API.

Version 1.3.12 delivers bug fixes and two minor functionality improvements:
  1. Support of 8-bit color maps (PseudoColor mode) was implemented. It allows to use VNCRobot with legacy systems using this color mode.
  2. VNC server port can be now specified both indirectly (using desktop numbers where :0 is port 5900, :1 is port 5901) or directly using double colon (localhost::5900, localhost::5901).
Version 1.3.13 contains a few bug fixes. There's one minor enhancement of the Sendmail command which is now capable of password based authentication to SMTP servers.

Version 1.3.14 fixes a serious bug 13075 which was introduced in 1.3.13 and causes VNCRobot to crash with "Array index out of range" error. Two other issues in the Mouse command were also fixed.

Version 1.3.15 delivers fixes of bugs reported by the community. See the 1.3.15 bug list for details. These updates improve compatibility with a few systems, namely legacy PowerPC Mac, Mac systems using Apple Remote  Desktop (ARD) and HP t5000 thin clients.
