I completely agree. I won't be able to use the trunk for a while, because before I can go in and do any new development on it, I will need to integrate the new CMake build system with my pre-release build scripts as well as build-xorg (which will involve inevitable testing and debugging of all of the above) and spend some time establishing a new performance baseline and doing other testing. There is no sense doing that work until the new features are more fully cooked. If I'm going to end up having to do free work, I need to maximize what I can get out of it, which means hopefully not having to repeat it later on.
Now, as far as the Windows refresh issue, I did some digging. For starters, I don't think the Windows TigerVNC viewer is doing the right thing by waiting to send a new FB update request until the WM_PAINT message is received. It should really be doing what the Unix viewer does, and what the TurboVNC viewers do, which is to send a new FB update request as soon as an FB update is received. I implemented that in r4351. Then, I applied Martin's previous suggestion for re-ordering the messages in r4352, and the combination of the two seems to have the Windows viewer performing just like the Unix viewer now. Please let me know if you discover any problems with this. New build forthcoming. On 3/9/11 4:31 PM, Robert Goley wrote: > It should at least have one of the improvements you suggested > implemented.
