History of changes
2024-04-18 - Improved support for the Microsoft::Windows::RDS::Graphics DVC
channel (rdpgfx). The remote application mode works again for
Windows servers versions higher than 2008. This did not work on
FreeRDP versions higher than 2.8.1.
- WPS class: command line switch '/gfx:AVC444' has been replaced
by '/gfx:AVC444:on'.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2024-03-18 - Map Ctrl+Alt+Del to Ctrl+Alt+End.
2024-02-06 - Added some libfreerdp function calls to initialize the keyboard
that were omitted in all previous versions.
- The command line switch 'grab-keyboard' has been restored. In
several previous versions this option was always disabled.
2023-08-04 - Fixed a crash on systems without a sound output device.
- Fixed reconnection when an interrupt signal occurs (Ctrl-C).
- WPS class: On the Redirection/Sound page of the settings
notebook the "Audio output" radio button was always set to
"Local" - fixed.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub (3.0.0 beta).
2023-04-24 - WPS class: changes to parse the new log line format.
In recent builds, due to the new format, the window position was
not saved and the "Diconnect" item of the class pop-up menu was
not available. Fixed.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2022-12-16 - Fixed PM freezing during connection.
- Measures have been taken to clean up artifacts on the screen
after closing the remote application windows. Perhaps this
is not enough...
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2022-12-08 - All text conversions are done through the icu library.
- WPS class, msoffice.cmd: changes for the new syntax of command
line switches.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2022-01-12 - Compiled with urbdrc channel support (redirect USB devices).
See /usb switch. Requires libusb1.dll. Not tested!
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
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.

of the remote application. See the "Freerdp.exe for OS/2 specific
features" chapter of the README.os2 file.
- WPS class: The "Disconnect" command of the context menu of the
WPS object. It can be used, for example, to disconnect a session
without terminating remote applications.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2020-10-02 - Support for AltGr key on German keyboard. Windows systems use the
left CTRL scan code together with the right ALT scan code to
indicate the AltGr key on a German keyboard.
- Synchronized with latest sources from GitHub.
2020-09-01 - Optimized the creation of the system bitmap in GPI mode.
2020-08-19 - Fixed some confusion with audio buffers.
- Fixed problem with data transmission to the system (Gpi) for

GpiSetBitmapBits.
2020-08-14 - Serialization of GpiQueryBitmapHandle, GpiQueryBitmapInfoHeader
and GpiSetBitmapBits functions calls with a mutex semaphore. It
looks like it helps to get rid of the trap in the PMMERGE.DLL
module.

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.
