History of changes
2022-12-16 - Fixed PM freezing during connection.

- WPS class, msoffice.cmd: changes for the new syntax of command
line switches.

2021-04-20 - Persistent attempts to open an audio device if it was captured by
another process at the start of playback.
- WPS class: When launching remote applications, the command line
switch +offscreen-cache is specified.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2021-04-14 - Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
- Porting new sections of the winpr library and channels subsystem
code.

2020-10-28 - An experimental feature: "*" can be specified as the name of the
remote application to connect to the server without launching any
application.
- The ability to launch remote applications in an existing session
of the remote application. See the "Freerdp.exe for OS/2 specific

GpiSetBitmapBits.
2020-08-14 - Serialization of GpiQueryBitmapHandle, GpiQueryBitmapInfoHeader

window.
- The name of the executable file is changed to ofreerdp.exe. Now
we can have separate * .xqs files for the dynamic library and the

usually collapsed when increasing the size with the mouse.
- Checking the size of the data provided in platform-dependent code
to create a bitmap image.
2020-03-11 - The mp3lame library is no longer used for resampling.
