FreeRDP 3.33 is out, and the open-source RDP implementation can now be compiled to WebAssembly and run in a browser, Phoronix reports.
Also new
- Improved SDL client, and experimental UDP for direct RDP connections
- Unicode keyboard input pipe in every client
- Experimental Windows shadow server and macOS file clipboard without FUSE
- Initial message translations
- 13 known security fixes
The AI angle
The maintainers say “the influx of pull requests and feedback for bugs/regressions/… was huge,” so a patch release is coming soon for the papercuts still in the backlog.
My take
Same story as the kernel and RADV this week: AI is pushing a lot more work at maintainers. With 13 security fixes, update, but maybe wait for the patch release if you’re not in a hurry.
Review before you install: read the release notes yourself, back up your config, and try new versions somewhere you can afford to break first.
God Bless, and Use the Source!
