mikedep333 I definitely haven't tested with Windows 10 1607, so let's not list that.

mikedep333 Add Mihai's changes. Sorry for not noticing them earlier.

 +     - src/onmainwindow.{cpp,h}: don't error out directly if starting the X.Org
 +       Server failed on Windows. Instead, try starting it three times, each
 +       time with a higher DISPLAY offset. On busy client machines, several
 +       clients raced for the sockets previously and often failed to start. Also
 +       check if the server binary actually is still alive before doing the TCP
 +       connection checks. A dead server won't be able to listen on a socket in
 +       the first place.
 +     - {src/{onmainwindow.{cpp,h},help.cpp},man/man1/x2goclient.1}: add new
 +       option --xserver-start-limit, replacing the formerly hardcoded limit of
 +       three tries.
 +     - copy-deps-win32.bat: update to 20180615-1 Cygwin bundle, shipping with
 +       a further modified OpenSSH Server version at 7.7p1-1-x2go1 and without
 +       chgrp.
 +     - src/onmainwindow.cpp: disable private host key permissions check in
 +       OpenSSH Server on Windows. Fixes: #1156.

-Any incompatibility or bug with a specific version of Windows should be reported via our bug-tracker. +This is the 1st release to drop support for XP & Vista. Although it is probably possible to still use them by specifying an external X server under x2goclient Options -> Settingsor simply replacing the x2goclient\VcXsrv folder.

-Deprecated versions of Windows are going to become incompatible in the coming months. Cygwin has already dropped support for them, and upgrading all the Cygwin components is planned for the coming months.+

Many Linux distros have included nx-libs 3.6 beta, such as Fedora 28 & Ubuntu 18.04 . (x2goserver 4.1.0.0 added support for nx-libs 3.6 beta, so it is correlated with it.)
