Dear all,

This is to announce a new release of X2Go Client for Windows:
4.0.5.1-2016.08.18

This is the 2nd release of X2Go Client 4.0.5.1 for Windows. The 1st
release was 4.0.5.1-2016.06.05 . The changes are relative to that release.

The changes in this release are:
     - 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,
       which fixes the multiple CVEs announced on 2016-01-28,
       2016-03-01 & 2016-05-03.

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.

For the Windows-specific release notes for this release, see this page:

Regards,
Mike DePaulo
