[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-2.5.1p2-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

It has finally arrived!

I've updated the version of OpenSSH in cygwin/latest to 2.5.1p2-1.

This version has several advantages over 2.3.0p1:

- Support for SSH2 RSA keys.

  Note that these RSA keys don't interoperate with the SSH2 RSA keys
  generated by the developers version openssh-20001221!
  You will have to erase old SSH2 RSA keys whereever you find them
  (~/.ssh/authorized_keys2, ~/.ssh/known_hosts2, ~/.ssh/id_rsa*,
   /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key*). This is due to the fact that OpenSSH is
  now defining SSH2 RSA keys according to the IETF draft in contrast
  to it's first implementation in the developers versions.

- An sftp client is now part of OpenSSH. See `man sftp'.

- The script `ssh-config' is now definitely substituted by the
  two scripts `ssh-host-config' for installing all host related
  files and `ssh-user-config' which can be called by each user
  separately to install it's own ssh configuration files.

- Several bug fixes.

There's still a Cygwin specific bug left. If you have a running
scp session to an Cygwin sshd server and you brake the scp by
Ctrl-C, the `scp' on the Windows server side will remain in memory,
doing nothing. It has to be killed explicitely. Hints or fixes
welcome.

===================================================================
PLEASE READ THE README FILE: /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.5.1p2.README
===================================================================

The mirror sites will get this version at least tomorrow.
 
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.  PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
choose a mirror site for your download.  The 'sources.redhat.com' site
is badly overloaded.

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin@sources.redhat.com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
