John, I forgot to reply to this question earlier.

What I linked you to was not a git changelog / commit log (I am not
familiar with git terminology), but the debian/changelog file that is
manually edited by x2go devs. This file is far easier to read than the
full git changelog. That link is to the revision of that file from git
hash 119635850c8408e45d2d2dca2f3c5b013f8da1c6  (2013-12-06), which is
what 4.0.1.2pre01 is built from. When 4.0.1.2 is released,
debian/changelog will most likely be updated to list additional
changes. So you will not be able to use that URL; see the instructions
below instead. I determined the URL by going to the git web, selecting
that hash, and viewing the tree for it. I then browsed to the
debian/changelog file within the tree.

Whenever a new version of x2goclient is released, the changelog since
the last release is in the announcement. You can view the changelog
for all releases of x2goclient by doing one of the following:
1. Browsing the x2Go-Announcement archives:
https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-announcement/
2. You can follow this simple gitweb link, click "debian", then
"changelog". This will show you the latest revision of that file:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=tree
3. Viewing the debian/changelog file on your system, if it is running
debian/ubuntu. E.g., with this command in this dir:
/usr/share/doc/x2goserver$ zcat changelog.Debian.gz
4. You can download the .deb, extract its contents, and view the
above-mentioned file.
