xrdp v0.9.24

[metalefty]

Release notes for xrdp v0.9.24 (2023/12/30)

• 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

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.

Security fixes

No new security fixes in this release.

Bug fixes

• Checking group membership should now work better on systems using directory services (Parameter TerminalServerUsers in sesman.ini does not work in combination with winbind AD integration #2806 [V0.9] groups patch #2817)
• Pasting more than 32K characters of text to the clipboard now succeeds (Large clipboard pastes fail #1839 [v0.9] remove ss clipboard code #2824)
• An incompatibility with FreeRDP 2.11.2 in the drive redirector has been fixed (wrong message order in [MS-RDPEFS] setup #2834 [V0.9] Fix message ordering in devredir #2839)

New features

• Side buttons on some mice are now supported by NeutrinoRDP (Update xrdp-neutrinordp.c to support side button (forward/back) click #2860). Thanks to new contributor @naruhito for this patch.

Internal changes
