Posted by Armin Novak on September 01, 2025

FreeRDP 3.17.1 has just been released and uploaded to

https://pub.freerdp.com/releases/

We’re happy to present a new release of FreeRDP.

This is a bugfix release with minor improvements and bugfixes.

  • most notably a memory leak was addressed
  • fixed header files missing C++ guards
  • xfreerdp as well as the SDL clients now support a system wide configuration file
  • Heimdal kerberos support was improved
  • builds with [MS-RDPEAR] now properly abort at configure if Heimdal is used (this configuration was never supported, so ensure nobody compiles it that way)
