A new release of the FreeRDP 2.8.0 project has been published, 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 to remotely connect to a Windows desktop. The project code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
In the new version:
- Added support for processing "[MS-RDPET]" and "[MS-RDPECAM]" operations on the server side.
- Added APIs for getting peer-accepted channel names and flags.
- The Stream_CheckAndLogRequiredLength function has been implemented to additionally check the correctness of the size of the transmitted data.
- Removed ALAW/ULAW codecs from linux backends that had stability issues.
- Removed the limitation on the CLIPRDR file name when connecting to non-Windows servers.
- Added "enforce_TLSv1.2" setting and command line option to force TLSv1.2 instead of TLSv1.3.
