Posted by Armin Novak on October 21, 2024

FreeRDP 3.9.0 has just been released and uploaded to

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

We’re proud to present the newest release of FreeRDP. This one brings some major code cleanup (we’ve addressed lots of clang-tidy warnings) as well as some highly anticipated new features. We also did update the API documentation quite a bit (still incomplete though, help always welcome ;))

So, what is new:

Support for RDPEAR (remote credential guard) /remoteGuard option for non windows clients
Global configuration file support, allowing to configure certificate accept/ignore/… default settings for all users
Simplified manpage generation, eliminates docbook and xmlto dependencies speeding up builds
New API for client channels to run tasks on RDP thread
New extended transport layer API
RDPECAM MJPEG support
the first updates of timezone definitions from our automated ci

Noteworthy changes:

Fix bugs in SSE4.1/AVX2 image copy (#10720)
Add warnings for invalid monitor settings during connect (#10672)
Fix ALSA microphone support (#10664)
Fix modal windows in RAILS mode (#10629)
Update experimental SDL3 client (SDL3 API should now have been stabilized, various pull requests)
Fix keyboard layouts, the external JSON did miss a few (#10639)

For a complete and detailed change log since the last release run: git log 3.9.0…3.8.0
