-X2Go Client relies on certain 3rd-party packages from the Cygwin project, so it has to bundle them. Unfortunately, those components often have security updates, which result in many new X2Go Client builds being released. These cygwin components have been slimmed down to reduce the number of security update builds. Specifically, Bash has been replaced with Ash. And OpenSSH has been built with fewer dependencies.+X2Go Client relies on certain 3rd-party executables and libraries from the Cygwin project, so it has to bundle them.
