This fork is alive.
We love mRemoteNG and we're committed to keeping it moving forward. This Community Edition ships regular releases with security patches, bug fixes, and long-requested features — backed by proper CI, 2100+ automated tests, and builds for x64, x86, and ARM64.
The plan: work through the full 830+ issue backlog, 100 at a time. Security first, then stability, then features. Every fix gets a release. Every release gets tested. Every issue gets a response.
How we work: Development runs in parallel across Claude Code (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), and Codex (OpenAI) — each AI agent tackling different issue batches simultaneously, with every change reviewed and merged by a human maintainer. A custom Issue Intelligence System — a git-tracked JSON database — follows every issue through its full lifecycle: triage → fix → test → release. Automated priority classification and templated GitHub comments ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
What's next: Once the backlog is current, ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, dependency updates, security patches — will run autonomously via Claude Code, continuously monitoring new issues and shipping fixes with minimal human intervention.
Full transparency: this project is built by humans and AI working together. We believe that's the future of open source.

The latest production-ready version of mRemoteNG. For most users, this is the recommended version.
Important
These are high-velocity builds from the main branch. They include the latest .NET 10 updates, security hardening, and experimental features. Use these if you want to help test new functionality. A version is promoted to Stable only after at least 5 beta iterations.

Full details: CHANGELOG.md | All releases
This fork includes a custom Issue Intelligence System — a git-tracked JSON database that monitors the full upstream issue backlog (830+ issues) and automates triage, lifecycle tracking, and release communication.
What it does:
- Syncs issues and comments from both upstream and fork repositories via
ghCLI - Tracks each issue through a full lifecycle:
new→triaged→roadmap→in-progress→testing→released - Detects iteration loops — when a user reports a fix didn't fully resolve their issue, the system tracks re-fix cycles
- Posts templated comments to GitHub on status transitions (release notifications, acknowledgements)
- Generates markdown reports for triage sessions and releases
- Auto-classifies issues by priority based on labels and comment activity
Scripts (in .project-roadmap/scripts/):
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
Sync-Issues.ps1 |
Fetch latest issues + comments from GitHub into local JSON DB |
Analyze-Issues.ps1 |
Classify and prioritize — shows what needs immediate attention |
Update-Status.ps1 |
Transition issues through lifecycle, post GitHub comments |
Generate-Report.ps1 |
Create markdown reports for triage and releases |
Current stats (as of 2026-02-13): 831 issues tracked, 25 released, 8 urgent, 24 new comments detected.
