I'm happy to announce the long overdue release of rdesktop 1.6.0.  This
fixes some important bugs and is therefore recommended for all users [1].

Key changes:
* Fix for potential vulnerability against compromised/malicious
  servers (reported by iDefense)
* Fix for crash with recent versions of X.Org
* Fix for connection to Windows 2008 Server
* ALSA driver added
* Sound drivers can now be selected at runtime
* Smartcard support (Alexi Volkov <[email protected]>)
* Send physical mouse buttons rather than logical ones

Available here:

Cheers,
Matt
on behalf of the rdesktop team


[1] Note however that a number of Linux distributions have already
rolled the most important fixes into their 1.5-series packages.
