Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. This is not secure. A future release will replace the TCP socket used between these processes with a Unix Domain Socket, and then cross-host running will not be possible.

The IP address, port, and user name of NeutrinoRDP Proxy connection are logged in xrdp.log - these connections may not have a sesman log to use (neutrinordp: Src/Dest IP address and Port are not logging in xrdp-sesman.log #1873)
The performance settings for NeutrinoRDP can be now configured (neutrinordp: Allow users or administrators to configure the mstsc experience settings. #1903)
Support for Alpine Linux in startwm.sh (sesman/startwm.sh : add support for Alpine Linux #1965)
clipboard: log file transfer for the purpose of audit (clipboard: log file transfer for the purpose of audit #1954)
Client's Keyboard layout now can be overridden by xrdp configuration for debugging purposes (override keyboard infomation #1950 (1st) #1952)

PAM_USER environment variable is not set when using pam_exec module (PAM_USER enviroment variable is not set when using pam_exec module #1882)
Allow common channel settings to be overridden for modules as well as chansrv (Fixed the ability to overwrite common channel settings. #1899)
The text only-copy/paste interface for the VNC module (used only when chansrv is not active) has been improved (Rework VNC text clipboard interface #1900)
The unsupported tcutils utility has been removed (Remove tcutils #1943)
The quality of TLS logging has been improved (Improve quality of TLS logging #1926)
Keyboard information is now passed correctly through NeuutrinoRDP, and can be overridden if required (neutrinordp: Allow keyboard layout information to be sent to remote. (#1933) #1934)
A message is now logged in the sesman log for unsuccessful login attempts detailing the user used (Log a message for failed logins #1947)

astyle formatting is now checked during CI builds (Add checking the code formatting with astyle during CI builds #1879)
Generalise development build options, and add --enable-devel-streamcheck (Generalise development build options, and add --enable-devel-streamcheck #1887)
Now uses cppcheck 2.5 for CI builds (Bumped cppcheck version to 2.5 #1938)
The SCP protocol is now using a standard struct trans for messaging rather than its own thing (Move scp to standard transport #1925)

The --enable-xrdpdebug developer option has been replaced with finer-grained --enable-devel-* options. Consequently, specifying --enable-xrdpdebug is now an error (Actively prevent user from specifying --enable-xrdpdebug #1913)

On-the-fly resolution change requires the Microsoft Store version of Remote Desktop client but sometimes crashes on connect (Microsoft Remote Desktop sometimes crashes on connect #1869)
xrdp's login dialog is not relocated at the center of the new resolution after on-the-fly resolution change happens (Login dialog should be redrawn at the center of new resolution after on-the-fly resizing happened #1867)
