Bug#850442: release-notes: Section about new remote desktop software in Debian
Package: release-notes

Hi,
I'd very much like to see something about Debian for remote desktop /
terminal servers in the release notes for two reasons: First, because
xrdp was updated and probably needs some attention to its configuration;
second, because Debian stretch will be the first distribution to ship
the most recent xrdp for a relly good and smooth remote desktop
experience with standard tools, which might be of interest.
Here's a proposal:
The xrdp package has been updated to the most recent upstream version,
0.9.1. xrdp is a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) server that can be used
to access a regular X.org session with any RDP client. With this update,
the need for an additional VNC server has been removed, as xrdp can now
use the X server directly. Please keep this in mind when updating the
package and take a second look at any configuration you did on xrdp.
Together with the updated guacamole package, Debian 9 (stretch) now
provides a smooth and efficient remote desktop experience without any
extra tools.
