Versions:
RDPilot is a software application developed and published by RDPilot, currently available at version 1.3.1, with a total of eight versions released over the course of its development history. The software is described as an experimental Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client, which places it within the remote desktop and remote access software category. Its purpose is to allow users to connect to remote machines using the RDP protocol, a standard widely used for accessing Windows-based systems and other environments that expose an RDP endpoint. Typical use cases for a tool in this category include remotely administering servers and workstations, accessing a desktop environment from a different device, providing remote support, and working with remote resources from a local machine. RDPilot is built on two notable technical foundations. First, it uses Avalonia as its user interface framework, meaning its graphical client is constructed with this technology. Second, the underlying remote desktop functionality is backed by FreeRDP, which handles the RDP protocol implementation on which the client relies. This combination of an Avalonia front end and a FreeRDP back end defines the architecture of the application. Because RDPilot is explicitly designated as experimental, it should be understood as a project in active development rather than a finished, long-established product. The current release, version 1.3.1, represents the latest state of this ongoing work, while the existence of eight distinct versions indicates that the publisher has iterated on the software through multiple releases prior to reaching this point. Users interested in the project can refer to the version history to track how the application has evolved across these releases. As a catalog entry, RDPilot is best categorized under remote desktop clients or remote access utilities, and it is relevant to anyone seeking an RDP client implemented with Avalonia and FreeRDP.
