## Deprecation notice
We removed TLSv1 and TLSv1.1 from the default config. The current default is TLSv1.2
and TLSv1.3. Users can whenever re-enable these early TLS versions by editing xrdp.
To use TLSv1.3, OpenSSL or LibreSSL must support TLSv1.3. You can know the OpenSSL
or LibreSSL version by `xrdp --version` command that compiled with xrdp.

## Other topics

Pulseaudio modules has been removed from xrdp source tree since it is actually
