Horray 2.0.0 released

Posted by Bernhard Miklautz on April 09, 2020

I must admit: The release took way longer than expected. We released 2.0.0-rc0 back in 2017 and planned to do the final release really soon afterwards but it turned out a little different :).

Now we are happy to announce that FreeRDP 2.0.0 is available for download.

The tar archive can be found on http://pub.freerdp.com/releases/ and here is the link to the GitHub release page

Since 2.0.0-rc4 there have been more than 1489 commits, from about 50 individual contributors. Thank you all for your support!

If you are interested in the changes since rc4 have a look at the Changelog respectively the GitHub milestone or use git log for a detailed list.

What to expect in the future?

For future releases we will try to move to a kind of “rolling” release model.

This will look like the following:

one “major” release (where master is branched to stable) each year
minor (fix) releases around every half year or if necessary
at least one minor release of the stable version (bug and security fixes)
a major release will be supported for two years (one year bug and security fixes and one year security fixes only)
