Update x11vnc to 0.8.4.

New in the 0.8.4 x11vnc release:

        Native Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz support.  It exports the full
                display (no X11 server).

                This provides an alternative to OSXvnc; some activities
                are faster (and see the client-side caching feature
                -ncache in the 0.8.5 development version for more
                speedups). http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-macosx

        x11vnc can act as a VNC reflector/repeater using the
                "-reflect host:N" option.  This is useful for large
                classroom broadcasting or demos.  You set up a number
                of reflectors to spread the network and CPU load around
                for better response. http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-reflect

        A new login mode: "-display WAIT:cmd=FINDCREATEDISPLAY -unixpw ..."
                that will Create a new X session (Xvfb, Xdummy, or
                Xorg) for the user if it cannot find the user's X
                session display via the FINDDISPLAY method.  It will
                be re-found upon reconnection.

                This enables a simple "terminal services" mode based on
                Unix username and password and where the user does not
                have to memorize their VNC display number, etc.
                http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-userlogin

  miscellaneous new features and changes:

        Option "-nodpms" to avoid problems with programs like KDE's
                kdesktop_lock that keep restarting the screen saver
                every few seconds even with active VNC clients connected.

        The "-N" option couples the VNC Display number to the X Display
                number. E.g. if your X DISPLAY is :2 then the VNC display
                will be :2 (i.e. using port 5902). If that port is taken
                x11vnc will exit.

        Wireframe copyrect detection for local user activity (e.g. someone
                sitting at the physical display moving windows).  You
                can disable this with the "-nowireframelocal" option.

        To automatically fix the common mouse motion problem on XINERAMA
                (multi-headed) displays, the "-xwarppointer" option is
                enabled by default when XINERAMA is active.  You can
                disable this with the "-noxwarppointer" option.

        By default in -reflect mode "-shared" is implied (it makes sense),
                use "-noshared" after the -reflect option to disable this.

        The "-prog" option lets you specify the full path (argv[0]) to
                the program, in case it is spawned by inetd/tcpd and
                cannot determine its path.  The path is needed for the
                "-http" option to guess the http classes directory.

        Usually not needed, but there are many options for tuning the
                native Mac OS X mode: -macnodim -macnosleep -macnosaver
                -macnowait -macwheel -macnoswap -macnoresize -maciconanim
                -macmenu.

        An option "-debug_xdamage" has been added for debugging and \ 
profiling.

Update x11vnc to 0.8.3.

New in the 0.8.3 x11vnc release:

        The -ssl option provides SSL encryption and authentication
                natively via the www.openssl.org library.  One can use
                from a simple self-signed certificate server certificate
                up to full CA and client certificate authentication schemes.

        The -sslverify option allows for authenticating VNC clients via
                their certificates in either -ssl or -stunnel modes.

        Certificate creation and management tools are provide in the
                -sslGenCert, -sslGenCA, and related options.

        An SSL enabled Java applet VNC Viewer applet is provided in
                classes/ssl/VncViewer.jar.

                The applet may also be loaded into the web
                browser via HTTPS, i.e one can use the VNC port,
                e.g. https://host:5900/

                See our "Enhanced TightVNC Viewer" project, for native
                SSL enabled viewers.

        The -unixpw option supports Unix username and password
                authentication. The -ssl or -localhost and -stunnel
                options (or detection of an SSH tunnel) are enforced in
                this mode to prevent password sniffing.

        Coupling -unixpw with -display WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY provides a
                way to allow a user to login with their UNIX password
                and have their display connected to automatically.

        Hooks are provided in the -unixpw_cmd and "-passwdfile \ 
cmd:,custom:..."
                options to allow you to supply your own authentication
                and password lookup programs (e.g. LDAP).

        The "-ultrafilexfer" alias is provided and improved UltraVNC
                filetransfer rates have been achieved.

        The -rotate option enables you to rotate or reflect the screen
                before exporting via VNC. This is intended for use on
                handhelds and other devices where the rotation orientation
                is not "natural".

  miscellaneous new features and changes:

        Similar to -ssl, the -stunnel option starts up a SSL tunnel server
                stunnel (that must be installed separately on the system)
                to allow only encrypted SSL connections from the network.

        Option -sslnofail to exit immediately if there are any SSL
                connection failures.

        A simpler variant of -unixpw is the -unixpw_nis option that
                works in environments where the encrypted passwords are
                readable, e.g. NIS.

        x11vnc can be configured and built to not depend on X11 libraries
                "./configure --without-x" for -rawfb only operation
                (e.g. embedded linux console devices).

        Add -cursor_drag to change the mouse cursor during Drag and Drop, etc.

        Under the "-connect_or_exit host" option x11vnc will exit
                immediately unless the reverse connection to host
                succeeds. The "-rfbport 0" option disables TCP listening
                for connections (useful for this mode).

        The "-rawfb rand" and "-rawfb none" options are \ 
useful for
                testing automation scripts, etc., without requiring a
                full desktop.

        Reduced spewing of information at startup, use "-verbose" (also
                "-v") to turn it back on for debugging.

Log message:
Security update to version 0.8.2

Changes:

Security fix for CVE-2006-2450, remote authentication bypass
in libvncserver.

Notified by the upstream maintainer, Karl Runge via PR pkg/34050

New in the 0.8.2 x11vnc release:
================================

  Support for full mouse and keyboard input into the Linux
          console framebuffer /dev/fb0 in -rawfb mode
          (i.e. non-X11) by using the Linux "uinput" driver.

          This enables, for example, viewing and interacting
          with Qt-embedded/Qtopia-Core apps on Linux-based
          handhelds, etc.

          Options:   -rawfb cons, -pipeinput UINPUT More info:
          http://www.karlrunge.com/x11vnc/#faq-qt-embedded

  Extension of the display option: -display WAIT:<disp-or-cmd>
          to delay x11vnc's opening of the X display
          until a VNC client connects (useful built-in:
          -display WAIT:cmd=FINDDISPLAY, to find a user's
          display and Xauthority data).

  Options -grabkbd and -grabptr have x11vnc try to grab
          the X display when VNC clients are connected to
          prevent a (non-malicious) user at the physical X
          display from performing keyboard or mouse input.
          E.g. remote help-desk support.

 miscellaneous new features and changes:

  -allowedcmds option to fine-tune which external commands
          may be run by x11vnc, rather than shutting
          them all off with -nocmds.
  -env VAR=VALUE convenience option to avoid the need of
          setting environment variables before starting
          x11vnc.
  -allinput option to enable libvncserver handleEventsEagerly
          parameter (not clear it yields an improvement).
  -rawfb rand  fun/testing option using /dev/urandom as a fb.
  -license, -copying, -warranty option.

New in the 0.8.1 x11vnc release:
================================

  Improved support for webcams and TV tuners with video4linux
          /dev/video: see the "-rawfb video" and "-pipeinput VID"
          options. (the latter gives a simple keyboard control
          of a TV tuner; see also the -freqtab option for stations).

  FBPM support for hardware that provides framebuffer power
          management (it needs to be disabled when vnc clients
          are connected).

  The -usepw option will require x11vnc to use a password of
          some sort or otherwise exit immediately.  Put it in
          your ~/.x11vncrc so you don't forget.

  The command "x11vnc -storepasswd" will prompt for a password
          without echoing and save it in ~/.vnc/passwd

  The X CLIPBOARD selection is managed in addition to the
                X PRIMARY selection.

 miscellaneous new features and changes:

  Convenience option for accessing the Linux console: -rawfb cons
          etc. (requires /dev/fb0 to be working).

  clipboard/cut-text input can now be managed on a per-client
          basis.

  -capslock and -skip_lockkeys options can help make CapsLock work
          better.

  The Xdummy wrapper script is included in the source tree.

  A mode "-gone popup" as been added.

  -24to32 option to avoid 24bpp problems.

  -xinerama is on by default.

Log message:
Update to 0.8, provided by OBATA Akio in PR 33068.

New in the 0.8 x11vnc release:

TightVNC file transfer support is enabled via the extension to
LibVNCServer added by Rohit Kumar.

The -passwdfile option has been enhanced to handle any number
of full-access and view only passwords in an easy to
maintain format, and additional features.

The -8to24 option enables multi-depth viewing on systems that do
not support -overlay. The 8bpp regions are transformed
to depth 24 TrueColor before exporting via VNC.

The x11vnc source code has gone through a major reorganization.
The build has been enhanced and many bugs fixed.

miscellaneous new features and changes:

-afteraccept option is like -accept however it enables running
 a user supplied command after client authentication
 has taken place. The RFB_* environment variables have
 been extended.
-loop option will run x11vnc in an outer loop restarting each time
 (useful for situations where the X server restarts often).
-slow_fb allows for slow polling for special purpose applications
 (e.g. video).
-blackout noptr,WxH+X+Y,... will prevent the pointer from going
 into a blacked out region.

Log message:
Initial import of x11vnc-0.7.2 from pkgsrc-wip, packaged by
<obata at lins dot jp>.

x11vnc allows one to remotely view and interact with real X displays
(i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and
mouse) with any VNC viewer. In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11
that WinVNC plays for Windows.
