The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package is part of
the x11vnc VNC server project. It provides a
native VNC viewer that takes advantage of new
features in x11vnc, e.g. cursor alpha blending and
automatic SSL tunnelling. Some features apply to
any VNC server, e.g. automatic SSH tunnelling.
Another goal is to provide a package that
conveniently bundles everything needed for the
user to have the enhanced viewer running quickly.
This includes pre-built binaries of the viewer and
utility programs for Windows and many Unix
variants, and a GUI to configure and launch the
viewer. The short name for this project is "ssvnc", for
SSL/SSH VNC viewer.

Changes:
Two new GUI modes are introduced: SSH-only (sshvnc) and Terminal-Services (tsvnc). The SSH-only mode does not show any SSL related options, and so is less distracting if you never plan on using SSL. The Terminal-Services mode is also SSH-only, and it assumes that x11vnc 0.9.3 or later is available on the remote computer. With this assumption, it can do a number of convenient things such as automatically find your desktop session, create a desktop session if one is not found, set the session type (KDE, GNOME, etc.), size, and color depth, enable remote CUPS printing, VNC file transfer, etc.
