List of improvements
Native 64-bit linux version of the main program and plugins More
DescriptionISL Light for linux is now also available as a 64-bit application, so if you are running a 64-bit linux distribution, you do not need to have 32-bit libraries installed.
You still use the same download links (e.g. http://www.islonline.net/start/ISLLightDesk for ISL Light Desk and http://www.islonline.net/start/ISLLightClient for ISL Light Client) and they will offer the appropriate file based on our autodetection. If the autodetection fails, you can append &platform=linux64 to the link. In that case please notify us so that we can inspect your situation and improve our autodetection procedure.
New startup method on linux More
DescriptionPrevious versions used a special .desktop file as a way to start ISL Light. Since most distributions began changing the handling of .desktop files (additional dialogs, set as not trusted by default etc.), this method became harder to use and less user-friendly. This is the reason for switching to zip files, so you download a zip file, extract the binary to your desktop and run it.
Added support for ISSC in the viewer More
DescriptionWhen viewing a remote computer that supports ISSC, you can switch between various ISSC levels.
Send session code by email More
DescriptionObtained session code can be sent in an email by clicking the mail icon in the ISL Light Desk program.
Implemented local whiteboard More
DescriptionWhiteboard is now drawn locally.
Clipboard problems [ISLLIGHT-108] More
DescriptionWhen you tried to do copy & paste from a windows machine to a linux or mac machine, the clipboard content was not transferred.
Now it works correctly.
Cannot cancel the transfer dialog [ISLLIGHT-142] More
DescriptionIt was not possible to cancel the file transfer dialog (send or receive).
Now it works correctly.
Unable to start on CentOS (SELinux enforcing) [ISLLIGHT-3] More
DescriptionISL Light failed to start on a linux system with SELinux set to enforcing (e.g. default CentOS install).
Now it works correctly.
VNC DLL Error - not a RFB server [ISLLIGHT-139] More
DescriptionWhen showing a linux or mac desktop and viewing it on windows, the viewer would show a message box with the following error "VNC DLL Error - not a RFB server" in certain situations, usually after a few consecutive sharing sessions.
Now it works correctly.
