Public bug reported:
iTalc's upstream has released a new version of iTalc fixing some minor bugs and
greatly improving VNC speed.
With this new release, it should now be possible to see more than 15 computers
at a time without having iTalc lagging like hell.
Here is a copy of upstream's changelog :
* improved overall usability by adding new icons and reworking look of
overview-mode
[UI remains globally the same]
* added new image-scaling algorithm with (optional) MMX-optimizations in order
to use less CPU-time on master-computer when monitoring a lot of clients with
short update-intervals
[Greatly improves performance]
* thanks to fast image-scaler, remote-control and demo-mode now scale screen in
real-time instead of having the user to scroll
[That's probably one of the most wanted fix for iTalc as it was hard to control
a computer that had an higher screen resolution than ours]
* removed user-list and added ability to display user-name instead of
IP-address in classroom-manager
[The user panel was from my point of view useless and buggy anyway]
* removed remote-IP-property as not used anymore
[Perfectly makes sense and doesn't change the UI that much]
* fixed logon-feature from classroom-action-menu
[We don't have logon in edubuntu, so this doesn't affect us]
* in case user accidently changed role but no keys exist for this role try
teacher-role as fallback in order to make iTALC still usable in such cases
(Closes #1866440)
[Bug fix]
* updated spec-file for building RPMs
[RPM specific]
* added Polish localization-files
[One more language is always a good thing]
* made power-down, reboot and logoff work under Linux if no user is logged in
[We have it only inside the session, so we don't use that anyway]
* fixed various crashes
[That includes removing scary warning/error messages that were previously shown
in the console]
