rdesktop/ANNOUNCE
Matt Chapman cd9b5a8761 Major commit of work from laptop - done in various free moments.
Implemented encryption layer and some basic licensing negotiation.
Reorganised code somewhat. While this is not quite as clean, it is
a lot faster - our parser speed was becoming a bottle-neck.

===============================
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.
