Win RDP v0.7.4 — First public release (early access)

Built for speed. Designed for Linux.

Win RDP v0.7.4 is our first public release, published as an early-access prerelease. It brings a Rust-powered IronRDP session engine and a Tauri launcher to Linux, with a native window for every Windows desktop.

Highlights

• Experimental reliable UDP v1, v2, and v3 transport support with automatic TCP fallback. UDP v2 is the default tested path; v3 (RDP-UDP2) still needs live-host validation.
• Simple and full launcher layouts, saved computers, resizing, fullscreen controls, and separate session windows.
• New computer drafts retain the address and leave the optional name blank.
• Fixes for Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V delivery, clipboard initialization and timeouts, and clipboard/audio preferences.
• Inbound desktop sharing is opt-in. Command failures no longer disclose sharing passwords.

Download and install

Download winrdp-next_0.7.4_amd64.deb and its .sha256 file below. This package is for Linux amd64; its distribution-specific dependencies are listed in package-report.json. Clean-distribution installation has not yet been verified.

From the download directory:

sha256sum -c winrdp-next_0.7.4_amd64.deb.sha256
sudo apt install ./winrdp-next_0.7.4_amd64.deb

Launch Win RDP from your applications menu or run winrdp-next.

Validation and known limitations

Recorded validation includes 23 launcher checks, 14 clipboard tests, native core and recovery tests, release builds, and live bidirectional text clipboard over TCP/X11. Release metadata, 15 recovery tests, and the uploaded installer checksum were rechecked before publication. These checks do not establish broad platform compatibility or a comparative speed ranking.

• Native Wayland clipboard and live image transfer remain unverified. Linux file clipboard transfer is not supported.
• Fresh UDP regression testing, remote audio, microphone, printer redirection, and clean-distribution installation remain outstanding.
• Dependency notices and runtime source references are attached. The existing inventory lists 19 missing upstream Rust license texts, and the exact bundled Qt/FreeRDP shared-library build configuration remains unattested; dependency review is not complete.
