Yes, the stable release of FreeRDP 1.0 is finally here!

I have been waiting so long for this day, and I know a lot of people were
eagerly waiting for it as well. Our previous stable release, 0.8.2, is more
than a year old and lacks an incredible amount of features which can now be
found in 1.0. In the meantime, we planned a 0.9 release but then had to
cancel it. Instead, we focused on proceeding with a rewrite which took
about 6 months of work. If last year was hell at certain points, I am more
than ever proud of the strong community that we are, and have faith that we
will continue to deliver the best open source RDP implementation around.
FreeRDP 1.0 is only the beginning, there are many challenges ahead of us,
such as RDP8 or exploring FreeRDP as a server. It is also important to note
that FreeRDP 1.0 is our first release officially under the Apache license.
