The new MinGW 4.8 builds are under here: http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/heuler/mingw32-4.8/qt-... The old MinGW 4.4 builds are under here: http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/heuler/mingw32-4.4/qt-...
Tester feedback (in the form of emails or bug reports) will help me decide whether to make the official release of X2Go Client 4.0.3.0 based on MinGW 4.4 or MinGW 4.8.
Last I heard, X2Go Client 4.0.3.0 is scheduled to be released sometime next month.
If you encounter a bug/issue, please test if the corresponding MinGW 4.4 build is affected also.
You can tell what build you are running by going to help -> About Qt. MinGW 4.4 builds use Qt 4.8.5. MinGW 4.8 builds use Qt 4.8.6
Technically the builds are not "nightly builds" because they are automatically built whenever an x2goclient git commit is pushed to code.x2go.org.
The 7 characters at the end of the version string is the git short hash of the git commit (revision) it was built from. This enables testers and developers to identify what exact version of X2Go Client they are using when there are multiple commits the same day. I just updated our build scripts to add this feature. (Final releases will not have a hash at the end of their version string.)

I started working this morning with build 4.0.3.0-2014.09.13-0d99760, (Win7 64bit -> IceWM on Fedora 20). No issues yet after several hours.
