* New upstream release (LP: #535029).
- After a transition period of about 10 years, this release disables SSH protocol 1 by default. Clients and servers that need to use the legacy protocol must explicitly enable it in ssh_config / sshd_config or on the command-line. - Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for PKCS#11 tokens. This support is enabled by default in the Debian packaging, since it now doesn't involve additional library dependencies (closes: #231472, LP: #16918). - Add support for certificate authentication of users and hosts using a new, minimal OpenSSH certificate format (closes: #482806). - Added a 'netcat mode' to ssh(1): "ssh -W host:port ...". - Add the ability to revoke keys in sshd(8) and ssh(1). (For the Debian package, this overlaps with the key blacklisting facility added in openssh 1:4.7p1-9, but with different file formats and slightly different scopes; for the moment, I've roughly merged the two.) - Various multiplexing improvements, including support for requesting port-forwardings via the multiplex protocol (closes: #360151). - Allow setting an explicit umask on the sftp-server(8) commandline to override whatever default the user has (closes: #496843). - Many sftp client improvements, including tab-completion, more options, and recursive transfer support for get/put (LP: #33378). The old mget/mput commands never worked properly and have been removed (closes: #270399, #428082). - Do not prompt for a passphrase if we fail to open a keyfile, and log the reason why the open failed to debug (closes: #431538). - Prevent sftp from crashing when given a "-" without a command. Also, allow whitespace to follow a "-" (closes: #531561).
