What is better: colon, comma or "which is"

I am writing release notes to a software. Here are 4 almost identical sentences:

1.Now the client comes in two forms, with built-in ssh tunneling and without it.
2.Now the client comes in two forms: with built-in ssh tunneling and without it.
3.Now the client comes in two forms, which are the version with built-in ssh tunneling and the version without it.
4.Now the client is built automatically with and without built-in ssh tunneling.

Questions:
Am I right that technically all of them are correct? What puntuation marks should I use in given example?
Thank you!
