We are glad to announce a new major release of rdesktop, version1.8.0.

This release includes features regarding authentication and security
such as Network Level Authentication (NLA) which adds support for
SSL/TLSv1 connections and kerberos server authentication.

Connection sharing for SeamlessRDP which will use the same connection
against a terminal server to start additional applications. This was
done implementing inter process communication (IPC) for rdesktop where
a master process is controlled by slave processes.

Smart card singel-sign-on functionality for both plain rdp and CredSSP
using pin passed as argument to rdesktop.


Key changes:
   * Support for protocol negotiation eg. SSL/TLSv1 and CredSSP
   * Support for CredSSP + Kerberos authentication (NLA)
   * Support for smart card single-sign-on
   * Support passing smart card pin as password on command line
   * Added IPC for controlling a master rdesktop process
   * Support for connection sharing when using SeamlessRDP
   * Improved handling of network connection failures
   * Autoreconnect using the connection cookie at network failure
