Xorg drivers for xrdp
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.

This is the last v0.9.x release. 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.
A fundamental solution for too fast scrolling issue by @seflerZ has been backported from devel version to v0.9 (#265 #286). This fix requires xrdp v0.9.25 so use xrdp v0.9.25 and xorgxrdp v0.9.20 together.
The following former workaround added at v0.9.19 has been removed. It takes no effect anymore.

You might be surprised that xorgxrdp version is suddenly jumped from v0.2.18 to v0.9.19. We decided to bump up version from v0.2 to v0.9 to indicate xorgxrdp v0.9 is compatible with xrdp v0.9.
We also made a tag v0.2.19. Both v0.2.19 and v0.9.19 are minor version up from v0.2.18 and identical. For upcoming xorgxrdp v1.0 is not compatible with xrdp v0.9 and is for upcoming xrdp v1.0.
Workaround for too fast vertical scrolling on touchpad (#150) has been implemented. Define an environment variable XRDP_XORG_TOUCHPAD_SCROLL_HACK and set to yes, true, on or 1 to mitigate too fast scroll. More specifically, edit xrdp's sesman.ini as following and restart xrdp-sesman.
