=============================== 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 OSF1, 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.
