ANNOUNCING rdesktop 0.9.0alpha1
|
||
|
|
===============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server,
|
||
|
|
capable of natively speaking its Remote Desktop Protocol. No server
|
||
|
|
extensions are required.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
0.9.0alpha1 is a milestone release including experimental support for
|
||
|
|
much of the protocol. It is NOT a stable, production-quality release.
|
||
|
|
Users should be prepared to submit bug reports and, ideally, patches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The current X-Windows driver is rather limited - an Xlib guru's
|
||
|
|
assistance would be appreciated. In particular, this version requires
|
||
|
|
the X display to support windows of 8-bit depth, which in most cases
|
||
|
|
means running X in 8-bit mode. Keyboard mapping may also be problematic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The -l option will disable licence negotiation, which is probably
|
||
|
|
what you want during testing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tested platforms include Linux, Solaris and IRIX, but it is should be
|
||
|
|
fairly straight-forward to port to other platforms and even windowing
|
||
|
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rdesktop is released under the GNU Public License.
