Oh, oh, thee self-styled security experts -- could you please start
reading sources and documentation first, and comment then,  as your
second action?

You are invited to read all the !M release notes on this website for 
all the recent snapshots:

But to spare those of you the time and hassle to look it up yourself,
who are too busy commenting about (Free)NX in various forums and IRC
channels, here is a quote:

 "Greatly increased security. Tunneling over SSH connections went 
  through a complete redesign. The new mechanism allows NX server 
  to run as a SSH sub-system, without users having to enable port 
  forwarding in the SSHD configuration. The RSA key associated to 
  the nx user now encompasses further restrictions, as the inabi-
  lity by the connecting client to request X11 forwarding."
