Release notes for xorgxrdp v0.10.2 (2024/07/30)

General announcements

The biggest news of v0.10 is that Graphic Pipeline Extension also called GFX in short has been supported. xrdp v0.10 with GFX achieves more frame rates and less bandwidth compared to v0.9. There is a significant performance improvement especially if the client is Windows 11's mstsc.exe or Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac. GFX H.264/AVC 444 mode and hardware-accelerated encoding are not supported in this version yet.

GFX implementation in xrdp is sponsored by an enterprise sponsor. @CyberTrust is also one of the sponsors. We very much appreciate the sponsorship. It helped us to accelerate xrdp development and land GFX earlier!

Please consider sponsoring or making a donation to the project if you like xrdp. We accept financial contributions via Open Collective. Direct donations to each developer via GitHub Sponsors are also welcomed.
