Previously, the server allowed no more than 10 authentication failures per 30 seconds from the same IP address. Protection against brute-force attacks has been improved.Echo messages will be supported in our latest SDKs but normal TightVNC Viewer does not use them yet.

This may be used for detecting network failures faster when there is no other traffic between Server and Viewer, and will work only with viewers that support and use this new protocol extension. Added support for Echo messages to let viewer software check responsiveness of a server.This feature will work when supported at both ends of the connection. The latest public version of the standard RFB protocol (3.8) does not support Unicode text, so we implemented this via a new TightVNC protocol extension. Added support for Unicode clipboard transfers (UTF-8).In versie 2.8.53 zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd: Server and Viewer for Windows: Oudere Windows-edities en Linux-gebruikers kunnen versie 1.3.10 gebruiken. TightVNC is geschikt voor Windows Vista en hoger. 'Tight' slaat op het gebruik van compressie, waardoor het programma ook goed presteert over trage verbindingen. TightVNC is zo'n programma en, zoals de naam al aangeeft, maakt het gebruik van VNC. Er zijn verschillende programma's om computers op afstand te besturen.
