Tested on iOS (iPhone and iPad).
The viewport is correctly clipped to the screen/browser size and
resizing works correctly.
This uses the CSS3 Flexible Box Layout model.
First crack at supporting touch screen for devices like Android and
iOS tablets. Part of https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/48.
This change detects touch screen support and uses the touchstart,
touchmove, touchend events in place of the normal mouse events.
In order to support middle and right mouse clicks, if the device is
a touch device, then three toggle buttons are added to the UI
representing the left, middle and right mouse buttons. These select
which mouse button will be sent when the screen is touched. All the
buttons can be toggled off, in which case then the touch events only
move the mouse cursor rather than sending a mouse down and mouse up
for touchstart and touchend events respectively. This allows fairly
full control with the mouse on touch screens.
noVNC version 0.1
Add debian packaging directory loosely based on
http://trac.zentyal.org/browser/trunk/extra/novnc/debian
Show web root directory on startup (pulled from websockify f1c8223).
Lintian fixups:
- Some license text clarifications.
- remove executable permission on utils/launch.sh and
include/web-socket-js/web_socket.js
- Add executable permission to utils/launch.sh
This addresses issue #65:
https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/65
When tightPNG encoded rects were received, any fill types were
immediately drawn to the canvas while images (PNG, JPEGs) were queued
for loading. This can cause screen corruption when things are changing
rapidly due to the misordering of fills vs images.
Also, remove the onload setting in each image on the queue and instead
decrease the tight image queue scanning interval (to 40ms or 25
scans per second).
- Add conf_defaults which accepts an array of configuration
attributes.
- Split out user configuration defaults from the actual configuration
object.
- Add mode field and enforce read-only, write-once, read-write modes.
API changes:
- include/canvas.js renamed to include/display.js
- Display.rescale() method removed from API. Use Display.set_scale() instead.
- Make logo configuration attribute of Display and display it when
clear() is called if it is set.
API deprecations:
- use RFB onUpdateState instead of updateState.
- use RFB onClipboard instead of clipboardReceive.
See https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/wiki/ModuleAPI for detailed noVNC
modules and API description.
Expand and normalize the event/callback interfaces. Standize on
"onEventName" form for callbacks.
Callback Renames:
- RFB updateState -> onUpdateState
- RFB clipboardReceive -> onClipboard
- Keyboard keyPress -> onKeyPress
- Mouse mouseButton -> onMouseButton
- Mouse mouseMove -> onMouseMove
Callback Additions:
- RFB onPasswordRequired
- RFB onBell
- RFB onFBUReceive
- RFB onFBUComplete
Other:
- Add array type support to Util.conf_default()
- Removed a bunch of routines from the Display API that were just used
internally and not actually by noVNC: flush, setFillColor,
imageDataGet, imageDataCreate, rgbxImageData, rgbxImageFill,
cmapImageData, cmapImageFill.
- More keyboard/mouse logging when debug turned on.
- Some JSLinting
Issue #21 - non-US keyboard layouts.
The code section for tab, backspace and enter was commented out for
testing but got checked in that way. Fix that.
Issue #21 - non-US keyboard layouts.
Only identify some keys as special during the keyDown event so that
when using non-US keyboards the values don't overlap with the values
for normal keys.
Some keys have to still be identified in both keyDown and keyPress
since they generate both: backspace and enter for Firefox and Opera,
tab for Opera.
This is part of addressing issue #21 - non-US keyboard layouts.
There are several challenges when dealing with keyboard events:
- The meaning and use of keyCode, charCode and which depends on
both the browser and the event type (keyDown/Up vs keyPress).
- We cannot automatically determine the keyboard layout
- The keyDown and keyUp events have a keyCode value that has not
been translated by modifier keys.
- The keyPress event has a translated (for layout and modifiers)
character code but the attribute containing it differs. keyCode
contains the translated value in WebKit (Chrome/Safari), Opera
11 and IE9. charCode contains the value in WebKit and Firefox.
The which attribute contains the value on WebKit, Firefox and
Opera 11.
- The keyDown/Up keyCode value indicates (sort of) the physical
key was pressed but only for standard US layout. On a US
keyboard, the '-' and '_' characters are on the same key and
generate a keyCode value of 189. But on an AZERTY keyboard even
though they are different physical keys they both still
generate a keyCode of 189!
- To prevent a key event from propagating to the browser and
causing unwanted default actions (such as closing a tab,
opening a menu, shifting focus, etc) we must suppress this
event in both keyDown and keyPress because not all key strokes
generate on a keyPress event. Also, in WebKit and IE9
suppressing the keyDown prevents a keyPress but other browsers
still generated a keyPress even if keyDown is suppressed.
For safe key events, we wait until the keyPress event before
reporting a key down event. For unsafe key events, we report a key
down event when the keyDown event fires and we suppress any further
actions (including keyPress).
In order to report a key up event that matches what we reported
for the key down event, we keep a list of keys that are currently
down. When the keyDown event happens, we add the key event to the
list. If it is a safe key event, then we update the which attribute
in the most recent item on the list when we received a keyPress
event (keyPress should immediately follow keyDown). When we
received a keyUp event we search for the event on the list with
a matching keyCode and we report the character code using the value
in the 'which' attribute that was stored with that key.
For character codes above 255 we use a character code to keysym lookup
table. This is generated using the util/u2x11 script contributed by
Colin Dean (xvpsource.org).
API change: for intergrators that explicitly include the Javascript
files (that do not use include/vnc.js)js, include/input.js is a new
file that must also be included.
The mouse and keyboard handling could be useful on its own so split it
out into a Keyboard and Mouse class in include/input.js.
This refactoring is preparation to deal with issue #21 - non-US
keyboard layouts.
Fix mouse button mapping in IE9. All browsers have converged on
a standard left=0, middle=1, right=2 ... all except IE that is.
Add html5 doctype to tests.
In vnc_perf test, use do_test instead of start for function name since
start is a keyword in IE.
In error about Flash give a link to Adobe's download page.
Current timeout is 2 seconds for connect timeout. Use 5 seconds if
web-socket-js (Flash WebSockets emulator) is being used. On Windows XP
with Flash 10.2.152.26, connecting seems to take quite a bit longer
than it probably should. This should make it work more consistently.
Syncs with same change to websockify (7534574a2f).
Primary change is removal of FABridge interface.
Seems to improve overall latency by perhaps 10%. Also, the slowdown
over time in Opera is about half as bad (but still there).
Thanks to Michael Sersen for creating images/Logo.svg.
- Add images directory with original SVG logo, favicon, and some
derivative PNGs of the logo for different purpose.
- Note that license on images/* is CC BY-SA.
- Add utils/img2js.py to take an image and generate a base64 encoded
data URI string.
- Add base64 encoded data URI screen logo to display in canvas when
disconnected.
API change: changed include path variable from VNC_uri_prefix to
URI_INCLUDE since websock.js uses the variable and websock.js is no
longer just for noVNC (i.e. websockify is really the canonical
location for websock.js).
Changes to get web-socket-js to work. Right now it's a hack to get
around: https://github.com/gimite/web-socket-js/issues#issue/41. The
hack is to disable caching of the flash objects by appending
"?" + Math.random() to the end of the flash object path (but only when
using IE).
Opera 11 native WebSockets (if enabled) seems to have bad behavior for
the bufferedAmount so add change from websockify project to allow max
bufferedAmount (before send queue is delay) to be configured.
Also, Opera 11 and 10.60 behave like Mozilla regarding the '-' key so
translate it correctly.
If all send data was flushed from the send queue then return true,
otherwise false. This doesn't mean the data won't be sent, just that
it wasn't sent this time and is queued.
Only delay sending data if bufferedAmount is greater than 1000.
This seems to match the intention of the spec better. bufferedAmount
does not mean that we can't send, it's just an indication that the
network is becoming saturated. But Opera 11 native WebSockets seems to
have a bug that bufferedAmount isn't set back to zero correctly so
we'll be a bit more tolerant.

This prevents the "Uncaught exception: TypeError:
'this.__handleEvents' is not a function" everytime the timer fires.
Yay, one of Javascript's worst behaviors; the way it sets "this".
