FreeRDP 3.16 Released With Better SDL3 Client Support

Written by Michael Larabel in Desktop on 16 June 2025 at 06:14 AM EDT. 10 Comments
FreeRDP 3.16 is out today as the newest update to this open-source Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) library and client implementation. This Apache-licensed project continues to be one of the leading implementations of the Microsoft RDP protocol for use outside the confines of Windows.

With FreeRDP 3.16 there have been a number of improvements to its SDL3-based client. The SDL3 version now has a number of drawing and window handling fixes, the SDL3 code is no longer considered experimental, and with that a wide variety of bug fixes throughout.

The FreeRDP X11 client also saw a number of bug fixes in this release along with improved logging. Some of the other FreeRDP 3.16 changes include introducing a timer implementation, GCC compiler fixes, YUV420 primitive fixes, and a variety of other fixes to the core RDP implementation.
