We have just released a new amazing release that brings to you some fantastic new features and improvements.

As an image is often better than 1000 words, here it is:

<div id="attachment_2159" style="width: 759px" class="wp-caption alignnone">
  <img class="size-full wp-image-2159" src="/assets/images/Selection_153.png" alt="Remmina new main window" width="749" height="440" srcset="/assets/images/Selection_153.png 749w, /assets/images/Selection_153-300x176.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px" />
  
  <p class="wp-caption-text">
    Remmina new main window
  </p>
</div>

The main enhancements are:

  * <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec?action=show&redirect=MirSpec" target="_blank">Mir</a> and <a href="https://wayland.freedesktop.org/" target="_blank">Wayland</a> support (brought to you by Giovanni Panozzo).
  * SPICE protocol plugin (mainly used by KVM) (brought to you by Denis Ollier) .
  * Remmina main refactoring (brought to you by Antenore Gatta & Giovanni Panozzo)

So a big thanks to Giovanni, Dennis and Antenore for the coding, to Johannes and our G+ community for their invaluable support.
