Try to be more consistent in how we capitalize things. Both the "Title
Case" and "Sentence case" styles are popular, so either would work.
Google and Mozilla both prefer "Sentence case", so let's follow them.
* Change copyright header
This updates the copyright header to say "The noVNC Authors". People
who previously had copyright listings are now under the AUTHORS file.
This commit makes the ES6 module loader polyfill use Web Workers,
so that Babel doesn't block the browser from animating. It also
uses localStorage to cache the compiled results, only recompiling
on source changes, so it makes loading faster while developing noVNC.
This includes a vendored copy of the ES6 module loader, modified as
described above.
This commit restructures many of the ES6 modules, splitting them
up to actual export multiple functions instead of a single object.
It also splits up Util into multiple sub-modules, to make it easier
to maintain.
Finally, localisation is renamed to localization.
This commit moves all the input-related files from `core/`
to `core/input/`, and renames a couple as relevant
(input.js --> input/devices.js, keyboard.js --> input/util.js).
This commit restructures noVNC, splitting it into the core directory
and the app directory, with the former containing core noVNC parts,
and the latter containing parts specific to the application.
This new file contains the XT scancode mapping that
the extension will use in rfb.js file.

**This commit removes Base64 (and Flash) support**
This commit converts websock.js to used Typed Arrays for the
receive queue (and tweaks rfb.js to ensure that it continues
to function, since only Firefox implements
`%TypedArray%.prototype.slice`). Base64 support was removed
to simplify code paths, and pave the way for using Typed Arrays
for the send queue as well.
This provides two advantages: first, we allocate a buffer ahead
of time, meaning the browser doesn't have to do any work dynamically
increasing the receive queue size. Secondly, we are now able to pass
around Typed Array Views (e.g. `Uint8Array`), which are lightweight, and
don't involve copying.
The downside is that we initially allocate more memory -- we currently
start out with 4 MiB, and then automatically double when it looks like
the amount unused is getting to small.
The commit also explicitly adds a check to the compacting logic that
avoids calling the copy functions if `_rQlen === _rQi`.
The MPL 2.0 license is a "file-level" copyleft license vs the
"project-level" nature of the L/GPL. The intention of noVNC has
always been that it should be easy to incorporate into existing
projects and sites whether free/open or proprietary/commercial. The MPL
2.0 is designed for this sort of combination project but still
requires that any distributed modifications to noVNC source files must
also be published under the same license.
In addition, the MPL 2.0 allows the code to be used in L/GPL projects
(the secondary license clause). This means that any projects that are
already incorporating noVNC should not be impacted by this change and
in fact it should clarify the licensing situation (the exact
application of the L/GPL to web applications and interpreted code is
somewhat ambiguous).
The HTML, CSS, image and font files continue to be under more
permissive licenses (see LICENSE.txt). The included websockify python
code remains under a LGPLv3 license although the include/websock.js
file from the websockify component is now under MPL 2.0 as well.
Permission was received from other noVNC authors to make this change to their
code license on the following dates:
- Chris Gordon (UI): Jun 24, 2012
- Antoine Mercadal (DOM,*util.js): Oct 10, 2012
- William Lightning (UltraVNC repeater): Oct 10, 2012
- Mike Tinglof (tight encoding): Oct 15, 2012
Clarify in LICENSE.txt that the noVNC core library is the part that is
LGPLv3 licensed. The HTML, CSS, images and fonts are separate from the
core library and can be modified and distributed with the noVNC core
but under their own license conditions.
HTML and CSS: 2-Clause BSD
Fonts: SIL OFL 1.1
Images: CC BY SA 3.0
In other words, you can modify the layout and appearance of of noVNC
to integrate with an existing or new web site or application without
having to publish the source for those modifications under the LGPLv3.
However, use of and modification of the noVNC core library (i.e. the
core Javascript that makes up noVNC) must still be according to the
LGPLv3.
Chris Gordon was the other contributor to the HTML, CSS, and images
included with noVNC and gave permission for this license clarification
on June 23, 2012.
- Remove the images using the old font.
- Simplify the naming of the new control bar icon images.
- Change keyboard input type to 'email'. 'url' type doesn't have
a space bar.
- Some clarifications to main LICENSE.txt file.
noVNC version 0.1
Add debian packaging directory loosely based on
http://trac.zentyal.org/browser/trunk/extra/novnc/debian
Show web root directory on startup (pulled from websockify f1c8223).
Lintian fixups:
- Some license text clarifications.
- remove executable permission on utils/launch.sh and
include/web-socket-js/web_socket.js
- Add executable permission to utils/launch.sh
Thanks to Michael Sersen for creating images/Logo.svg.
- Add images directory with original SVG logo, favicon, and some
derivative PNGs of the logo for different purpose.
- Note that license on images/* is CC BY-SA.
- Add utils/img2js.py to take an image and generate a base64 encoded
data URI string.
- Add base64 encoded data URI screen logo to display in canvas when
disconnected.
web-socket-js now has all the functionality and fixes needed for noVNC
so remove the include/as3crypto_patched directory and the
include/web-socket-js/flash-src directory (i.e. the sources for
web-socket-js). This cleans up almost 3K from the include/ directory.
Update to web-socket-js build based on upstream (gimite/web-socket-js)
9e766377188.
The purpose of the code is to be incorporated into other web projects
(whether those are free or not). AGPL prevents combination with other
HTML and javascript that is under a weaker (or proprietary) license.
Better would be a lesser AGPL, but there is not GNU standard for that.
So LGPL-3 meets most of my requirements. If somebody modifies the
actual client code and conveys it, then they must release the changes
under LGPL-3 also.
Add some implementation notes in docs/notes.
