REVISION HISTORY

6th December 2002 Release 3.0

Improvements:

* Updates from the remote screen are now much faster, almost in real
time. The updates can be received uncompressed (better for 100Mbps
LANs and higher) or compressed (better for slow LANs and the
Internet). The refresh rate can range from Fastest to Paused. The
highest refresh rates are usually well supported by computers above
Pentium 700 Mhz.
* Palette-based as well as 16-bit, 24-bit and 32-bit true-color
screen desktops are supported both on remote and locally, in other
words, images are manipulated in a device independent manner.
* When the remote is using a stock mouse pointer, this is reproduced
on the local machine, otherwise the standard arrow pointer is used
(as in previous releases).
* Ctrl-Alt-Del can now be issued on the default desktop. Previously
it could be issued only on the winlogon desktop.
* Now every keyboard key combination is simulated on the remote
system. This includes international keyboards, however the same key
combination may have different meaning if the remote keyboard layout
is different. Ctrl-Alt-Del has, of course a different key
combination.
* AWRC tabbed interface has been changed allowing for an easier
integration of new features.
* Remote mouse activity can be optionally monitored (monitoring is
selected by default).

Fixes:

* Ctrl-Alt-Del issued on the winlogon desktop used to close the
existing connection.
* Uploading and downloading of large files used to close the existing
connection.
* Corrects wake-up from screensavers, including password protected.

9 October 2002 Release 2.0

Improvements:

* Remote System General Information, including Operating System,
Processor, BIOS, Memory, Display Adapter and Logical Printers.
* Very comprehensive information on Hardware Devices.
* Users and Groups detailed information.
* Password hashes capture.
* Physical Memory Viewer.
* Ports Finder (mapping of applications to open ports).
* Facilities for Chat with the remote machine.
* Very comprehensive remote file system management, including file
copy, move, rename, delete, create directory, zip and unzip as well
as multi-files download and upload.
* Request authorization for remote operations.
* Option to clear all grids on disconnect or leave them untouched.
Leaving them untouched is useful for post-mortem analysis.
* Splitter between upper bevelled pane and bottom panel allows panes
resizing.
* A few enhancements for better integration with Windows XP.
* Help file has been enhanced and integrated into application context
by calling F1.

Fixes:
* Connection timeout can be adjusted from Options menu. This should
solve spontaneous disconnects in low-bandwidth or very loaded
systems.
* All traces of AWRC operation should disappear on remote upon
disconnection. Previously, this was not always the case.
* In most cases data travels compressed between both systems. This
allows a fast data exchange even when the amount of data can reach
very significant levels, namely for the Hardware Devices, Ports
Finder and Users and Groups.
* Self-adjusting Refresh time. When the user selects Auto for the
Desktop Refresh, AWRC will adjust it upwards if the network
conditions do not allow the selected Refresh time.

3 December 2001 Release 1.1

Fixes:
* Improved low-bandwith connections (e.g. Internet) support.
* Downloading large files on slow-bandwith connections (e.g.
Internet) used to break the link to remote.

Improvements:
* Image compression level can be set through Options. High-bandwith
connections work better with low compression levels. The inverse
applies to low-bandwith connections.
