A new version of the FreeRDP 2.3 project has been released, offering a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), developed based on Microsoft specifications. The project provides a library for integrating RDP support into third-party applications and a client that can be used for remote connection to Windows desktops. The project code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
In the new version:
- Support for the WebSocket protocol has been added for connections through a proxy.
- The wlfreerdp has been improved, a client for environments based on the Wayland protocol.
- The X11 client xfreerdp now supports operation in an XWayland environment (keyboard capture has been configured).
- Improvements have been made to the codec, minimizing the occurrence of graphical artifacts when manipulating windows.
- The glyph cache (+glyph-cache) has been established, which now works correctly without connection interruptions.
- Support for transferring large files via the clipboard has been added.
- A setting has been added for manually overriding keyboard scan code bindings.
- Mouse wheel scrolling has been improved.
- A new type of PubSub notification has been added, allowing clients to monitor the current connection status.
