Posted by Armin Novak on March 06, 2025

FreeRDP 3.13.0 has just been released and uploaded to

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

We’re happy to present a new release of FreeRDP.

Another bugfix and cleanup release. Due to some new functions and fields being introduced the minor version has been increased.

New for application developers:

A new CMake Variable WITH_FREERDP_3x_DEPRECATED (ON by default) allows disabling all symbols that have been marked deprecated during the 3.x release cycle. Such a build can be used to test compatibility with future versions that might drop these symbols entirely.

So, what has been done:

Friends of old hardware rejoice, serial port redirection got an update (not kidding you)
Android builds have been updated to be usable again
Mingw builds now periodically do a shared and static build
Fixed some bugs and regressions along the way and improved test coverage as well
