FreeRDP 3.0 stable was released today as this open-source implementation of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) for allowing nice remote access support.
FreeRDP 3.0 brings relative mouse movement support that is important for gaming via RDP, server-side MS-RDPEL channel support, clipboard improvements, fixed FFmpeg/AAC encoding, improved RPC gateway support, Opus audio support for GNOME Remote Desktop, server-side handling of the mouse cursor channel, AAD/AVX authentication, WebSocket Transport support, SmartCard authentication for TLS and NLA, full OpenSSL 3.x support, and numerous other features and fixes.
In the past two weeks since the prior release candidate, support has been added for AF_VSOCK, improvements to the new relative mouse input support, E2K CPU support in WinPR, Android mouse hover support, and other fixes and minor enhancements.
Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. This is going to be real handy for users on Windows Home. I’m guessing once the server is installed, one can connect to it from any RDP client, without needing the wfreerdp client, right?
I use Remmina on my Linux Mint setup.
Yes, it should work with any RDP client. And Remmina actually uses Freerdp as the backend btw. :)
