Since release > 7.7.0.32 the X toolbar icon was not recovering from Windows explorer.exe crashing/restarting. However do not then let the X server start the icon if using option -notrayicon (this latter bug was a lot older!)
Fix two very recent 'assignment from incompatible pointer type' warnings, when assigning a function pointer to a variable, in libGL that only showed in the 32-bit build (now fixed in git Master).
The PThreads-Win32 project has been renamed PThreads4W and commuted to Apache License ALv2 from LGPLv2.1 (thanks to Ross Johnson). So Xming's POSIX pthreads library is now named pthreadGC3.dll, i.e. version 2 -> 3, and its patches have been reviewed.

Update FreeType2 and Plink from their project git repositories, and the xserver, Mesa, pixman, xkbcomp and xwininfo from X.Org git.
Xming clients can now be sensibly sized (they were tiny!) on ultra-high resolution devices by appropriately adjusting Windows 10 display scaling %. Windows now recommends 'Windows Settings > System > Display > Scale and layout' values and, for me, Xming clients now open sensibly sized with the recommended 250% scaling value for 'Change the size of text, apps and other items' on a 4K UHD monitor.
Make the default font size 96dpi (was 75) and the font path precedence order: misc, TTF, 100dpi, 75dpi. This is a long overdue sync with X.Org default settings but will subtly change the appearance of many clients.
When Xming is started on a Windows Remote Desktop: SM_CMOUSEBUTTONS only reports two buttons on any mouse! Assume a ≥3 button mouse and log when Xming is started remotely. Note: apart from installing and light testing; running Xming via Windows Remote Desktop is probably not a good idea.
xev showed that the multimedia keycodes for XF86AudioLowerVolume and XF86AudioRaiseVolume were transposed in winkeynames.h.
Add the Belgian (Comma) keyboard layout (0x0001080c) to the keyboard layout mapping table.
Tidy some stderr messages from libGL.

Improve data returned for RANDR queries (thanks to Jon Turney). This particularly affected GTK+3 versions 3.21.6 to 3.22.24, which could end up thinking the display size was 0x0 and get badly confused. The previous workaround to this problem was to turn off the RANDR extension (by using option -extension RANDR). Note: this was going to be in 7.7.0.30 but needed correcting.
Update the OpenGL extension headers and specifications from the canonical OpenGL Registry for use in the X server build.
Xming 7.7.0.30 (Released 28 Mar 2018).
