Release notes for xrdp v0.9.25 (2024/03/11)

• Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. This is not secure. A future v1.0 release will replace the TCP socket used between these processes with a Unix Domain Socket, and then cross-host running will not be possible.

General announcements

This is the last v0.9.x version which is released regularly. v0.9.x will be maintained for a while but less actively. New releases will happen only when severe security vulnerabilities or critical bugs are found.

We have created a fund on Open Collective. Support us if you like xrdp! Direct donations to each developer via GitHub Sponsors are also welcomed.
