====== Windows-Specific Release notes for X2Go Client 4.0.3.2 ======

===== Security Update: 4.0.3.2-20150301 =====

On 2015-03-01, 4.0.3.2-20150301 was released with the following changes:

    - Windows: Update bundled VcXsrv from 1.15.2.3-xp+vc2013+x2go1 to 1.15.2.4-xp+vc2013+x2go1. The differences is that VcXsrv's bundled version of freetype was updated from 2.5.3 to 2.5.5. This freetype update fixes CVE-2014-9656 through CVE-2014-9675.

As with most vulnerabilities in 3rd party software, the X2Go project has not done an analysis of whether X2Go Client was actually affected by these vulnerabilities. However, as a precaution, we strongly encourage all users to update.
===== Security Update: 4.0.3.2-20150224 =====

On 2015-02-25, 4.0.3.2-20150224 was released with the following changes:

    - Windows: Bundle new version of VcXsrv: 1.15.2.3-xp+vc2013+x2go1. The difference from 1.15.2.2-xp+vc2013+x2go1 is that CVE-2015-0255 has been fixed.
    - Windows: Update bundled nxproxy (nx-libs-lite) from 3.5.0.27 to 3.5.0.28.
    - Windows: Update bundled Cygwin libjpeg-turbo from 1.3.1-1 to 1.3.1-3. The difference is that CVE-2014-9092 has been fixed.
    - Windows: Update bundled Cygwin libpng from 1.5.18-1 to 1.5.21-2. In addition to other changes, CVE-2013-6954 has been fixed.
    - Windows: Copy the exact version of each cygwin DLL from the cygwin binary tarballs rather than copying the "rebased" version from an X2Go developer's cygwin installation. What effect this will have on users is TBD. However, it does mean that we are distributing the exact DLLs that the Cygwin project provides, which is desirable for security.

As with most vulnerabilities in 3rd party software, the X2Go project has not done an analysis of whether X2Go Client was actually affected by these vulnerabilities. However, as a precaution, we strongly encourage all users to update.
