FreeRDP 2.0 – A Remote Desktop Protocol implementation, Hacker News

I must admit: The release took way longer than expected. We released 2.0.0-rc0 back in and planned to do the final release really soon afterwards but it turned out a little different:).

Now we are happy to announce that FreeRDP 2.0.0 is available for download.

The tar archive can be found on http://pub.freerdp.com/releases/ and here is the link to the GitHub release page

Since 2.0.0-rc4 there have been more than 1489 commits, from about 50 individual contributors. Thank you all for your support!

If you are interested in the changes since rc4 have a look at the Changelog respectively the GitHub milestone or use git log for a detailed list.

For future releases we will try to move to a kind of “rolling” release model.

This will look like the following:

• one “major” release (where master is branched to stable) each year

  

• minor (fix) releases around every half year or if necessary

  

• at least one minor release of the stable version (bug and security fixes)
•   
• a major release will be supported for two years (one year bug and security fixes and one year security fixes only)
