What's new in this version:
Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.3.9
Updated:

- Fixed the keyboard mode notification color scheme for light mode

Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.3.8
- The key change in this update is the ability to switch between Scancode [CTRL+COMMAND+K] and Unicode [CTRL+COMMAND+U] modes when entering keyboard input. Unicode mode allows extended characters to be typed using the OPTION key on a Mac keyboard. For example, on a US Mac keyboard, OPTION+2 will enter the trademark [] symbol.
