For example, through the Open Specifications program, developers can build their own RDP client implementations using the provided technical documentation. A list of RDP protocol documentation related to RDP can be found here . Documentation Errata We are now publishing errata for the protocol documentation with enabled RSS / ATOM feeds so that developers can stay up to date on any changes.

Windows 10 Technical Preview Protocol Documentation For the Windows 10 Technical Preview we have published Preview documentation for new and updated protocols in PDF Diff format. The Diff versions contain revision marks showing changes specific to the Windows 10 Technical Preview, as well as document updates made since those documents were last published on May 15, 2014. The documents can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941641.aspx We are making these changes to allow ISV’s easier access to the information they need in developing RDP clients.
