[X2Go-Dev] X2Go Client Windows binary 4.0.1.2pre01

[Michael DePaulo]

Hi,

In preparation for the upcoming release of X2Go Client 4.0.1.2, a
nightly build of the Windows binary is available for download under:

http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/previews/4.0.1.2/

Although I am not an official X2Go project member (yet,) I have been
working with Mike Gabriel over IRC. We ask that Windows users please
test this build and report any bugs. We especially want users to
report regressions against previous builds for Windows (4.0.0.3 and
4.0.1.0pre02). Remember that it is only a nightly build so it is not
intended for production use.

More information about this build:

- It is still compatible with Windows XP! It bundles VcXsrv 1.14.2.1
(2013-07-26) because all later versions of VcXsrv (starting with
1.14.3, released 2013-09-20) are incompatible with Windows XP.

- It is built from commit 119635850c8408e45d2d2dca2f3c5b013f8da1c6 (2013-12-06)

- The version of nx-libs is 3.5.0.21-lite

- It is built according to the instructions here:
http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient

- All existing windows-specific bugs are probably still present. For
example, bug #230 is still present, but the fix looks very easy so I
intend to fix #230 soon.

- For a high-level changelog of what has been fixed/improved in
4.0.1.2 so far, see:
