macrdp-cpp v0.1.0-alpha.1

macrdp-cpp Alpha

This is an Alpha developer preview of macrdp-cpp, an experimental native
macOS RDP server for sharing the logged-in Mac desktop with Windows Remote
Desktop (mstsc) or a FreeRDP client.

Highlights

• ScreenCaptureKit display capture with display-topology recovery.
• H.264 AVC420 through OpenH264, VideoToolbox, or FFmpeg, with per-client
  adaptive pacing.
• Keyboard, pointer, text clipboard, and RDPSND speaker output paths.
• NLA authentication, loopback-safe defaults, view-only and clipboard controls.
• Deterministic lifecycle, protocol, reconnect, and package-validation tests.

Requirements

• macOS 15 or newer on Apple Silicon.
• A logged-in graphical macOS session.
• Homebrew, CMake, OpenSSL 3, FFmpeg, and OpenH264 for the documented
  development build.

Important

• The attached DMG is a complete arm64 runtime package, ad-hoc signed and not
  notarized. macOS may require right-click -> Open on first launch.
• Use it for development or trusted LAN/VPN testing. Do not expose port 3389
  to the public internet.
• The Windows mstsc hardware matrix, real Developer ID notarization, and
  clean-machine release validation remain open gates.

Artifacts

• macrdp-cpp-0.1.0-macos-arm64-developer-preview.dmg: complete runtime
  package for macOS 15+ on Apple Silicon.
• macrdp-ffmpeg-sources-7.1.1.tar.gz: corresponding source for the pinned
  LGPL FFmpeg build.
• SHA256SUMS: checksums for the downloadable artifacts.

Build instructions are in the README.
