Release of FreeRDP 3.6, a free implementation of the RDP protocol

The FreeRDP 3.6 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 to connect remotely to the Windows desktop. The project code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.

In the new version:

  • The decoder speed has been significantly increased when using various gfx codecs.
  • Added experimental support for the MS-RDPECAM (Remote Desktop Protocol: Video Capture Virtual Channel Extension) RDP protocol extension, designed to transfer video data from an RDP client to an RDP server.
  • An experimental implementation of a client translated to the SDL3 library is proposed.
  • Improved image copying.
  • Added support for p11-kit and json-c.
