Is the latest Remmina 1.0 in the official 12.04 repositories?

I just noticed that the copy of remmina I have on my machine (Running ubuntu 12.04) is 9.99.1 (This is up to date according to apt). The remmina website says that the most recent version is version 1.0 which uses FreeRDP. I'd like to use FreeRDP instead of rdesktop because of the improved MS RemoteApp support.

To cut to the chase, is version 1.0 of remmina in the repos, or do I have to install it manually? (I've had a quick browse but haven't found anything).

Edit:

Running rmadison remmina returns the following (trimmed to only show the precise repo details)



remmina | 1.0.0-1ubuntu5 |       precise | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc

remmina | 1.0.0-1ubuntu6.1 | precise-updates | source, amd64, armel, armhf, i386, powerpc

Which is supposedly the version I have installed, however the "about" dialog says version 0.99. Additionally, FreeRDP is not installed on my system, so remmina cannot be at version 1.0.

Yes, it is - in main!

Remmina 1.0 was released on February 11, 2012 (source: Official Homepage)
- Remmina switched to FreeRDP since 0.8 (source: Official Wiki)
- The recent "change to FreeRDP" which may have confused you is just their moving to the FreeRDP GitHub for hosting their source code
- RDP support in Remmina is through FreeRDP only, via a plugin with the following dependency chain (no FreeRDP binaries are necessary):
  reminna-plugin-rdp <-- libfreerdp-plugins-standard <-- libfreerdp1.
- These libraries are installed automatically when you install Remmina, unless you have disabled the default APT policy of installing recommends, in which case you will have no RDP support until you install remmina-plugin-rdp!

Proof:

Official changelog for the Ubuntu version in Precise 12.04 says:



remmina (1.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. 

_ Compatible with FreeRDP 1.0 (Closes: #658363).

To be "precise ;)" the Ubuntu version is more advanced than the upstream:

In fact, the changelog says that a number of additional improvements have been done by the Debian/Ubuntu developers since 1.0.0, including:
1. add clipboard support.
2. fix smooth scrolling
3. improved translations
4. Added Unity Launcher support
5. App indicator support added
6. Add -i option to only start as a tray icon.
