FreeRDP 3.7.0 has just been released and uploaded to

https://pub.freerdp.com/releases/

This release has accumulated quite a number of changes. Along bugfixes for 3.6.3 it also contains a number of improvements for distributors:

  • Support for FDK-AAC for sound and microphone redirection (activate with -DWITH_FDK_AAC=ON build option) This allows enabling the AAC compression that do not ship faad2 and/or faac
  • Support keyboard layouts as JSON resources (activate with -DWITH_KEYBOARD_LAYOUT_FROM_FILE=ON build option, also requires JSON support) This allows editing keyboard layouts for existing releases should the need arise
  • Support timezones as JSON resources (activate with -DWITH_TIMEZONE_FROM_FILE=ON -DWITH_TIMEZONE_COMPILED=OFF build options, also requires JSON support) Allows reading the mapping between IANA and windows timezones from a JSON file, allowing easier updates without recompile
  • Improve shadow server compatibility with windows 11 24H2 RDP client Windows 7 RFX and bitmap updates with multiple rectangles have been deactivated, so adjust shadow to not send such.
