This repo forks the FreeRDP repo, thus allowing us to make changes that fit our needs and augment the codebase with other components.
From time to time there is a need to merge the changes from the original repo into this one.

### ❗When updating the FreeRDP library from the official repo, please update the following in this file (README.md):
### ❗When updating the FreeRDP library from the official repo, please update the following table in this file (README.md):

|**Original repository tag/branch used:**| `2.5.0` |
|**Original repository tag/branch used:**| `2.11.2` |
| --- | --- |
|**Original corresponding commit hash:**| `d50aef95520df4216c638495a6049125c00742cb` |
|**Original corresponding commit hash:**| `a38c1be9eee39a9bc22b511fffe96e63fdf8ebe7` |

#### Updating the fork is done on a dev machine and involves rebasing our changes on top of the new tag/branch from the original repo and **force pushing** the `uipath` branch.

❗The state before the update must be saved in a support branch, named `robot/support/before_update_to_<NEW BASE GIT TAG>`, where `<NEW BASE GIT TAG>` is the tag from the original repo onto which we'll rebase our changes.

Is this branch naming ok? @mihainradu ?

I was suggesting more of using the FreeRDP version, and we would have to bump the major at every upgrade, which sounds ok.


The tags from the original repo must be fetched from the original repo and pushed to our fork:
```pwsh
git remote add upstream https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP.git
git fetch --tags --all

This git fetch is for the purpose of retrieving tags from the original FreeRDP repo. Nowhere is it specified to add that remote (and if we just clone our repo we won't have it)

git push --tags
```

A work branch should be created from `uipath` and used in the validation phase. Its name would be `feat/update_to_<NEW BASE GIT TAG>`.
After checking out the branch, the rebase should be performed using the following command:
```pwsh
git rebase --onto <NEW BASE Git Tag> <Our 1st customization Commit's Hash> <The work branch>

@daniel-stanciu, any thoughts on the following?:

The git rebase --onto command causes the currently checked out branch to be reset to whatever the 3 arguments dictate. <The work branch> could very well be replaced with uipath, since it's assumed is equal to it.

That would make this command description more robust to changes to the lines before it.

```
In this phase we have the opportunity the review the new state, run CI/CD and fix any issues that might arise.

After validating the `feat/update_to_<NEW BASE GIT TAG>` branch, reset the `uipath` branch to it and force push it.
