xrdp v0.9.8

Release notes for xrdp v0.9.8 (2018/09/25)

Deprecation notice

We removed TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 from the default config. The current default is TLSv1.2
and TLSv1.3. Users can whenever re-enable these early TLS versions by editing xrdp.conf.
To use TLSv1.3, OpenSSL or LibreSSL must support TLSv1.3. You can know the OpenSSL
or LibreSSL version by xrdp --version command that compiled with xrdp.

Other topics

Pulseaudio modules has been removed from xrdp source tree since it is actually
independent and not part of xrdp. The repository has been moved to:
https://github.com/neutrinolabs/pulseaudio-module-xrdp

If you want to use audio redirection, make sure install the module separately.

New features

• Add TLSv1.3 support #1193

Bug fixes

• Ensure unmount redirected drive on fatal X error #1140

Other changes

• Show more helpful message if xrdp-dis failed #1206
