Improvements since ISL Light 3.3.1 application
New features
ISL Light works really poorly when HW acceleration is on, so it will try to disable HW acceleration and re enable it once ISL Light finishes.
We have implemented combined BitBlt with no flickering if there is no layered windows.
Added color=64k option in command lines. It selects "Best quality".
CPU usage is limited for grab/encode thread to:
* single core: max 45%of total time
* multiple cores: max 50% of kernel time
Defect fixes
A problem when local user could not aquire back control was fixed.
When connecting to dual screen display, only one monitor was overlapped with black screen.
On some computers with dual monitor desktop, selection of one monitor showed only white screen. The problem was fixed
In some situations when wathcing VMWare remote console or similar programs, mouse cursor was not transfered correctly. When there is no mouse cursos a block of 3x3 pixels is shown.
When user forced connection through HTTPS-DIRECT ISL Light used wrong port 7615 instead of 443.
If BitBlt is slow on computer ISL Light will switch to old implementation with WM hooks.
Command lines with deprecated syntax - no spaces between arguments - did not work. We reverted to old implementation.
Fixed a handle leak in reconnect procedure.
The mouse movement gets queued if moving it without stopping. We skip mouse movements in case there are many in queue.
