+==== Choosing the PyHoca-GUI Version ====
+Before testing/building PyHoca-GUI, you may want to choose the version of PyHoca-GUI to use, use ''git checkout'' to get a specific version:

+As the development of PyHoca-GUI is closely entangled with the development of Python X2Go, for bleeding edge code it is recommended to use the master branches of both projects.
