VNC protocol backwards compatibility for RFB 3.3 clients #48

Closed edgecase14 closed 3 years ago

edgecase14 commented 3 years ago

I am a bit puzzled to see MacOS 10.15.3 Catalina native VNC client requesting Client Protocol version 3.3 using Wireshark. Would it be difficult to support this in neatvnc? My use case is wayvnc.

The first published version of the rfb protocol was version 3.3. This was in 1998. The current revision (3.8) was published in 2007. It is puzzling indeed that an entity such as Apple hasn't caught up by now. Have you considered filing an issue with Apple?

Frankly, I'd prefer not to complicate the code needlessly. Is there no alternative VNC client software for MacOS?
