[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] Add zlib support to VNC server

[Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>]

Alright, this is my tight alternative ;).

In order to make the qemu VNC server usable over low bandwidth connections,
we need to support some encodings that perform better under these constaints.

One that is really easy to implement and pretty commonly implemented in clients
is zlib. Zlib takes the raw output, sends it through zlib and sends that over
the wire. For me, bandwidth usage was a lot less than hextile's.

Of course, this isn't going to be the last of the encodings I'll implement,
but it's a pretty good start - hopefully better than jpeg tight, since zlib is
completely lossless.

Alexander Graf (7):
  Split VNC defines to vnc.h
  Use VNC protocol defines
  Fix invalid #if in vnc.c when debugging is enabled
  Add some tight awareness to vnc.c
  Move buffer functions up
  Move the framebuffer update package out
  Add zlib encoding support
