Questions on upcoming Apache Guacamole 1.6.1 release (timeline + FreeRDP 3.0 support)
Hi Apache Guacamole Community,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to ask about the upcoming *Apache
Guacamole 1.6.1* release and would appreciate any guidance you can share.
1. *Release timeline*
- Is there a tentative/target date for the *official 1.6.1 release*?
- If a date isn’t available yet, is there an approximate timeframe
you’re aiming for (e.g., next few weeks/month)?
2. *FreeRDP 3.0 support*
- Will *FreeRDP 3.0* be *officially supported* in 1.6.1?
- If support is planned, are there any recommended build
flags/packaging notes or known limitations we should be aware of?
3. *Planned fixes/changes in 1.6.1*
- Could you share a brief summary of the key *bug fixes, security
fixes, and notable changes* expected in 1.6.1?
- If there’s already an issue tracker milestone, changelog draft, or
release notes in progress, a pointer would be very helpful.
We’re tracking 1.6.1 closely to plan our internal validation and upgrade
timeline, so any detail you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dilip Modi

It is in the works, but likely not in version 1.6.1, as the PRs are still
in Draft state.

Hello Nick,
Just a feeler regarding multiple monitor support. Is anything like that
planned for the future?
I check in on this every now and then. Forever hopeful :-)
Thanks.

No, there is no official release date, yet. It's ASAP, but this is an
open source project and we all have day jobs that take us in other
directions, so it'll get done when it gets done.

This is still up in the air. I believe the only outstanding issue that
would prevent us from supporting it is GUACAMOLE-2123, which deals
with RAIL window updates with FreeRDP 3.x. The good news is that
someone just submitted a patch today with a potential fix for that, so
maybe it'll happen. We'll see.
