+title: FreeRDP 1.0 released
+date: 2012-01-16

+
+Yes, the stable release of FreeRDP 1.0 is finally here!
+
+I have been waiting so long for this day, and I know a lot of people were eagerly waiting for it as well. Our previous stable release, 0.8.2, is more than a year old and lacks an incredible amount of features which can now be found in 1.0. In the meantime, we planned a 0.9 release but then had to cancel it. Instead, we focused on proceeding with a rewrite which took about 6 months of work. If last year was hell at certain points, I am more than ever proud of the strong community that we are, and have faith that we will continue to deliver the best open source RDP implementation around. FreeRDP 1.0 is only the beginning, there are many challenges ahead of us, such as RDP8 or exploring FreeRDP as a server. It is also important to note that FreeRDP 1.0 is our first release officially under the Apache license.
