ANNOUNCING rdesktop 0.9.0alpha1 |
| 3 |
=============================== |

rdesktop is an open source client for Windows NT Terminal Server, |
| 6 |
capable of natively speaking its Remote Desktop Protocol. No server |
| 7 |
extensions are required. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
0.9.0alpha1 is a milestone release including experimental support for |
| 10 |
much of the protocol. It is NOT a stable, production-quality release. |
| 11 |
Users should be prepared to submit bug reports and, ideally, patches. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The current X-Windows driver is rather limited - an Xlib guru's |
| 14 |
assistance would be appreciated. In particular, this version requires |
| 15 |
the X display to support windows of 8-bit depth, which in most cases |
| 16 |
means running X in 8-bit mode. Keyboard mapping may also be problematic. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The -l option will disable licence negotiation, which is probably |
| 19 |
what you want during testing. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Tested platforms include Linux, Solaris and IRIX, but it is should be |
| 22 |
fairly straight-forward to port to other platforms and even windowing |
| 23 |
systems. |

|
| 25 |
rdesktop is released under the GNU Public License. |
