Release notes for xrdp v0.9.25 (2024/03/11)

• Running xrdp and xrdp-sesman on separate hosts is still supported by this release, but is now deprecated. This is not secure. A future v1.0 release will replace the TCP socket used between these processes with a Unix Domain Socket, and then cross-host running will not be possible.

A fundamental solution for too fast scrolling issue by @seflerZ has been backported from devel version to v0.9 (#265 #286). This fix requires xrdp v0.9.25 so use xrdp v0.9.25 and xorgxrdp v0.9.20 together.

The following former workaround added at v0.9.19 has been removed. It takes no effect anymore.
