====== Windows-Specific Release notes for X2Go Client 4.1.1.1 ======

===== Major Windows-specific changes since 4.1.1.1-2018.03.1 =====

<code>
    - Windows: Update Win32 OpenSSL from 1.0.2k to 1.0.2n
      Fixes several CVEs
    - Windows: Upgrade bundled VcXsrv from 1.17.0.0-3 (X2Go/Arctica Build)
      to 1.20.0.0 (upstream build)
        + Fixes https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/600
        + Incompatible with XP & Vista
        + Unmodified except for strip-nondeterminism being run on .gz
files
</code>

Note that it was assumed incorrectly that this was a Windows-specific bug, and this is why X2Go Client for Windows 4.1.1.0 was never released.

==== Current Release ====

The installer, x2goclient-4.1.2.0-2018.06.22-setup.exe , is available under this folder:
  * https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.1.2.0-2018.06.22/

===== 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 7 SP1
  * Windows 8.1 (with "Update 1")
  * Windows 10 (1607)
  * Windows 10 (1709)
  * Windows 10 (1803)

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 2008 R2 SP1
  * Windows Server 2012
  * Windows
Server 2012 R2 (with or without "Update 1")
  * Windows Server 2016

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

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.

===== Installation Instructions =====
See this page:
  * http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/doc:installation:x2goclient

===== Windows-Specific Bug Fixes =====
[[https://github.com/ArcticaProject/nx-libs/issues/600|nx-libs issue 600]] When you connect to x2goserver server 4.1.0.0 using nx-libs 3.6 beta (3.5.99.x) rather than nx-libs 3.5.0.x stable, you would likely experience the Desktop flashing when maximizing window.

===== Noteworthy Windows-Specific Bugs =====

[[http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611|bug 611]] The server cannot be added to the known_hosts file (and thus you cannot connect to the
server) when both of these conditions are met: 1. Your Windows username has non-English characters. 2 Those characters are in a different language than the Windows "system locale".
