Can anyone comment on the new compression algorithm for RDP in SP1 for Windows Vista and how RD Tabs may support it?...

2.1.3 Alpha will use the Vista SP1 / Server 2008 RDP library. I looked through the documentation on the new available API options and I didn't see anything on how to turn on advanced compression, so I'm assuming it will be automatic. Well, I'm hoping anyway. Let me know if it doesn't perform as expected. I don't have enough test boxes to really test this thing enough. Also coming in 2.1.3: terminal services gateway!

Vista SP1 will not be required to take advantages of these new features because the required DLL comes bundled with RD Tabs.

I haven't tested to make sure this works correctly on XP or Server 2003 yet. That's the only delay for the next alpha release.
