button group instead of centered.
* On low resolution devices the padding towards the edges of the screen of
the left and right button groups are now removed.
* Since the status_bar was merged into the control-bar the actual status_bar
element became redundant and was therefor removed.
* Improved the style of the control-bar when there is an error or a warning.
* Implemented a fix so that vnc_auto.html works as intended with the improved
screen real estate patch.
The MPL 2.0 license is a "file-level" copyleft license vs the
"project-level" nature of the L/GPL. The intention of noVNC has
always been that it should be easy to incorporate into existing
projects and sites whether free/open or proprietary/commercial. The MPL
2.0 is designed for this sort of combination project but still
requires that any distributed modifications to noVNC source files must
also be published under the same license.
In addition, the MPL 2.0 allows the code to be used in L/GPL projects
(the secondary license clause). This means that any projects that are
already incorporating noVNC should not be impacted by this change and
in fact it should clarify the licensing situation (the exact
application of the L/GPL to web applications and interpreted code is
somewhat ambiguous).
The HTML, CSS, image and font files continue to be under more
permissive licenses (see LICENSE.txt). The included websockify python
code remains under a LGPLv3 license although the include/websock.js
file from the websockify component is now under MPL 2.0 as well.
Permission was received from other noVNC authors to make this change to their
code license on the following dates:
- Chris Gordon (UI): Jun 24, 2012
- Antoine Mercadal (DOM,*util.js): Oct 10, 2012
- William Lightning (UltraVNC repeater): Oct 10, 2012
- Mike Tinglof (tight encoding): Oct 15, 2012
Clarify in LICENSE.txt that the noVNC core library is the part that is
LGPLv3 licensed. The HTML, CSS, images and fonts are separate from the
core library and can be modified and distributed with the noVNC core
but under their own license conditions.
HTML and CSS: 2-Clause BSD
Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1
Images: CC BY SA 3.0
In other words, you can modify the layout and appearance of of noVNC
to integrate with an existing or new web site or application without
having to publish the source for those modifications under the LGPLv3.
However, use of and modification of the noVNC core library (i.e. the
core Javascript that makes up noVNC) must still be according to the
LGPLv3.
Chris Gordon was the other contributor to the HTML, CSS, and images
included with noVNC and gave permission for this license clarification
on June 23, 2012.
API changes (forward compatible):
- Display: add 'viewport' conf option to turn on and off viewport
mode.
- RFB: add 'viewportDrag' option to enable/disable viewport dragging
mode.
Other:
- Add clip mode setting to default UI. For touch devices, clipping is
forced on.
- Use CSS media queries to adjust visual elements based on screen
size. Especially disconnected logo size/position and button text size.
- Catch page unload while connected and give a confirm dialog.
- Change mouse button selector to a single button that changes between
' ', 'L', 'M', 'R' when clicked (empty means mouse is just being
moved and doesn't send clicks).
- include/ui.js:setViewClip() routine sets the clipping of the
viewport to the current size of the viewport area (if clipping is
enabled).
- include/ui.js:setViewDrag() toggles/enables/disables viewport
dragging mode.
- Add several images for the UI and for Apple devices:
- images/clipboard.png: clipboard menu icon
- images/connect.png: connect menu icon
- images/disconnect.png: disconnect button icon
- images/keyboard.png: show keyboard button
- images/move.png: viewport drag/move toggle button
- images/settings.png: settings menu icon
- images/screen_320x460.png: iOS app/desktop link start image
- images/screen_57x57.png: iOS app icon
- images/screen_700x700.png: full size noVNC image
