- Because of the awfully tall title bar and the lack of obvious built-in help, in the Aero-style version of XLaunch: I've reverted to just supplying XLaunch in traditional Wizard97 style.
- Remove the website link icon from the Start menu (it just clutters the Xming entry in Windows 8 Apps view).

Also match XLaunch's display setting with that of the X server, when IPv6 is enabled, to fix a %DISPLAY% mismatch between Plink and the X server.
- In xclipboard the default file could not be saved to the install directory. Make this default 'clipboard.txt' on the Windows Desktop (%userprofile%\Desktop), and when %userprofile% is unset, 'clipboard.txt' in the first available path from GetTempPath().

- In XLaunch no longer terminate the server when the first client exits. This was a weak feature of the original design which no longer makes sense.
- Ensure alpha characters or spaces can't get into the 'Display number' field of XLaunch when loading badly edited (or unvalidated) .xlaunch files.
- The version-information resource had gone missing from libxcb-icccm.

- Allow the Windows beep/bell to be turned off with generic X server option -f 0, or when the server is running, by xset -b or xset b off or xset b 0. Unlike the X server on Linux/Unix, no fine control of volume, pitch or duration is possible due to the use of the MessageBeep(MB_OK) function i.e. just the Windows default beep.
- Correctly free the buffer object data with _mesa_align_free(bufObj->Data) in _mesa_delete_buffer_object(). Note: release 7.5.0.74 did not have this problem and it is now fixed in X.Org git master Mesa.
- Tidy some comments in the XLaunch XML Schema Definition file.

- Revert X.Org xserver change 'glx: Simplify glXDestroyContext'. You get BadContextTag errors when the tag for a deleted context is given as the previous tag in a MakeContextCurrent request (thanks to Jon Turney for spotting this).
- Revert X.Org xserver change 'glx: Fix a corner case in DrawableGone'. You can get an xserver crash, on client exit, if this is not reverted with the above.
- Make WGL child window creation more consistent with its parent.
- Add Windows XP x64 Edition to the OS detector.
- Don't use xserver/hw/xwin/ddraw.h in the build: it's not consistent with ddraw.h from MinGW-w64 (i.e. DirectDraw2 methods are equivalent between MinGW-w64 and Microsoft, but not the local ddraw.h)). Also fix two 'incompatible pointer type' build warnings when including MinGW-w64's ddraw.h and calling the IDirectDraw2::CreateSurface method.

- Provide an x64 Xming (i.e. built native 64-bit for Windows x64) in parallel with the original 32-bit version.
- Fix various taskbar quirks (and others) in -multiwindow mode (x64 Xming). Some calls to XChangeProperty() and XGetWindowProperty() needed correcting for the increase in size of a HWND (from one to two 32-bit quantities) between x86 and x64.
- Fix the WoW detector log report and add x64 Xming detection.
- In -multiwindow mode more closely follow ICCCM section 4.1.7 when setting X input focus to a window when the native Windows window acquires input focus. This helps JDK 1.7 clients acquire the focus correctly. (thanks to Jon Turney)

- Correct four functions with 'unsigned long' parameters (declared in xserver/hw/xwin/winprefs.h) where just a specific handle type should have been used (fixes some x64 build warnings).
- Htmlhelp.lib is now linked x86 and x64, by XLaunch and portablePuTTY, from the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 8. Note: these 'Static LIB files' are classified as Distributable Code by Microsoft in their SDK license.
- Fix a latent delete[] crash in XLaunch exposed by the x64 build.
- Update the OpenGL extension headers and specifications from the canonical OpenGL Registry for use in the X server build (Khronos SVN at revision 22832). Now defined in XML documents.
- Build both Plink(s) from PuTTY project SVN source at revision 10031.
- Update bison to release 3.0 in the build toolchain.
- Xming 7.5.0.68 (Released 23 Jul 2013).
Xming-portablePuTTY 7.5.0.69 (x86 & x64 Released 23 Jul 2013)
- Build from PuTTY project SVN source at revision 9970.
- x64-Pageant's notification area icon was persistent after Exit; until moused over.
- Xming-portablePuTTY 7.5.0.68 (Released 2 Jul 2013).
Xming 7.5.0.68 (Released 23 Jul 2013)
- Update Pthreads-Win32 and FreeType2 from their project git repositories, and the xserver, libX11, libICE, libXaw, libxcb, libxcb-icccm (from xcb util-wm), libXext, libXi, libXmu, libXrandr, libXt, Mesa, setxkbmap, twm, xcalc, xclipboard, xclock, xfontsel, xhost, xkbcomp, xkeyboard-config, xkill, xlsclients, xprop, xrandr, xset and xsetroot from X.Org git.
- Supply XLaunch built with MinGW-w64 (for x86); again! The wide-character function quirks, with the new toolchain (currently: gcc release 4.8.1, binutils CVS head 2013-07-05 and mingw-w64 trunk SVN 5935), are finally fixed and migration to it can therefore continue (x86 and x64).
- Migrate libxcb's build to the new toolchain and correct a missing closesocket() call on an error path. Also migrate bitmap, ico, libICE, libSM, libXaw, libxcb-icccm, libXext, libXfixes, libXi, libXmu, libXrandr, libXrender, libXt, libXtst, mkfontscale, oclock, viewres, xcalc, xclock, xhost, xkbcomp, xkill, xlsatoms, xlsclients, xlsfonts, xmodmap, xprop, xrandr, xset, xsetroot and xwininfo.
- Add support for mouse tilt wheel. (thanks to Jon Turney)
- Change mouse buttons 4 and 5 from X buttons 6 and 7 to X buttons 8 and 9, which, with mouse tilt wheel as X buttons 6 and 7, matches the default configuration on Linux.
- Remove obsolete WIN_XEVENTS_SHUTDOWN from the xserver. This event is never generated. (thanks to Jon Turney)
- Enable GX/AAT and OpenType table validation in FreeType2.
- Build both Plink(s) from PuTTY project SVN source at revision 9891.
- Xming 7.5.0.66 (Released 12 Jun 2013).
Xming-portablePuTTY 7.5.0.68 (x86 & x64 Released 2 Jul 2013)
- Build from PuTTY project SVN source at revision 9891.
- Provide a native x64 build (built 64-bit + help and manifests) in parallel with the original 32-bit build. This can only be used on 64-bit Windows x64 (but not Itanium/ia64).
- Provide an online PuTTY User Manual that will be kept up-to-date.
- Xming-portablePuTTY 7.5.0.67 (Released 17 Jun 2013).
