===== Security Update: 4.0.5.1-2016.08.18 =====


On 2016-08-18, 4.0.5.1-2016.08.18 was released with the following changes:
<code>
    - Windows: Update PuTTY from 0.66 to 0.67, which fixes
      CVE-2016-2563.
    - Windows: Update bundled Win32 OpenSSL from 1.0.1q to 1.0.1t,

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.

===== Major Windows-specific changes since 4.0.5.0-2015.07.31 =====

  * Multiple security updates
  * Under Options -> Settings -> Pulseaudio settings, you can now disable audio input (microphone support.) This itself is desirable for many users, but it also serves as a workaround for the issue of PulseAudio failing to do output simply because input is unavailable.

===== Supported Windows Versions =====
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 (deprecated)
  * Windows XP 64-bit SP2 (deprecated)
  * Windows Vista SP2
  * Windows 7 SP1
  * Windows 8.1 (with "Update 1")
  * Windows 10 (1511)

These versions of Windows without the latest (specified) service pack / major update 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 (deprecated)
  * Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 (deprecated)
  * 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

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

Deprecated versions of Windows are going to be dropped once a technical obstacle arises.
