On 2015-06-25, 4.0.4.0-2015.06.24 was released with the following changes:

    - Windows: Update bundled Win32 OpenSSL from 1.0.1m to 1.0.1o,
      which fixes the multiple CVEs announced on 2015-06-11.

      to 1.17.0.0-2 (X2Go/Arctica Build)
      The differences relevant to X2Go are:
        + VcXsrv's bundled version of openssl was updated from 1.0.2a
          to 1.0.2c (fixes the multiple CVEs announced on 2015-06-11)

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.

Also, there is now a build with a test fix for X2Go bug #883.

• Include debug build in the regular installer. It is an optional component during the install. It is not installed by default.
• Include Pageant and PuTTYgen in the installer. They are optional components during the install. They are installed by default.
• Several 3rd-party components were upgraded to new major versions.

There are now (4.0.4.0-2015.06.24) 2 build.

• The regular build
• The build with the test fix for bug #883.

Both installers now include the regular build & the debug build of X2Go Client.

X2Go Client is currently only released as a 32-bit x86 build. Both 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86 versions of Windows are supported via this build.

• Windows XP 32-bit SP3
• Windows XP 64-bit SP2
• Windows Vista SP2
• Windows 7 SP1
• Windows 8
• Windows 8.1 (with or without “Update 1”)
• Windows 10 Technical Preview (Build 9926 through 10074)

These versions of Windows without the latest (specified) service pack may be compatible, but are rarely (if ever) tested. They are not officially supported.

Corresponding server versions of Windows are also supported, but receive minimal testing:

• Windows Server 2003 SP2
• Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
• Windows Server 2008 SP2
• Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2012 R2 (with or without “Update 1”)
• Windows Server Technical Preview (Build 9926 through 10074)

Any incompatibility or bug with a specific version of Windows should be reported via our bug-tracker.
