Release Notes for VNC Snapshot 1.1
=========================================
Enhancements:
Two new pairs of options are available. The first is -cursor and -nocursor, 
which cause the remote cursor to be included, or excluded, from the snapshot. 
They will work with TightVNC servers only, unfortunately.

The second is -allowblank and -ignoreblank, which cause blank (all black) 
screens to be saved, or ignored. -ignoreblank is the default and is 
appropriate for recent RealVNC servers on Windows systems, which sometimes 
send an all-blank screen at first before sending the actual image.

Changes:
This version merges the TightVNC 1.2.8 and RealVNC 3.3.7 code, including the 
new RealVNC ZRLE encoding. 

Semantics of the -rect option has changed. Formerly, when giving negative x 
and y (e.g. -rect 400x300-400-300) the x and y coordinates were of the top 
left corner of the rectangle. This meant that you usually had to add in the 
size of the rectangle. Now, the negative value refers to the right or bottom 
edge. Thus, in 1.0 the option:
 -rect 400x300-400-300
is now
 -rect 400x300-0-0
which is more readable (and sensible). This also now corresponds to the way 
Unix X11 -geometry specifications work.

Performance improvements have also been made when fetching a sub-rectangle of 
the screen; previously the entire screen would be retreived from the remote 
server, and the sub-rectangle extracted from that. Now, only the area to be 
saved is retrieved. This should reduce the amount of data sent across the 
network.

- -listen, -tunnel, and -via are implemented but untested for Windows systems.
