installed, the host key is published in an SSHFP RR secured with DNSSEC,
and VerifyHostKeyDNS=yes, then ssh will no longer prompt for host key
verification (closes: #572049).

the two patchlevel nybbles now, which is sufficient to address the
original reason this change was introduced, and it appears that any
change in the major/minor/fix nybbles would involve a new libssl package
name. (We'd still lose if the status nybble were ever changed, but that
would mean somebody had packaged a development/beta version rather than
a proper release, which doesn't appear to be normal practice.)

- 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).

3.8.1p1-1. Simon Wilkinson refused this patch since the old gssapi
mechanism was removed due to a serious security hole, and since these
versions of ssh-krb5 are no longer security-supported by Debian I don't
think there's any point keeping client compatibility for them.
