libssh 0.5.0

gladiac — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 11:26:46 +0000

We are proud to finally announce libssh in version 0.5. It took a lot of time to get this version stable and out. We have rewritten huge parts of the libssh internals to be able to be completely async in future. The whole network design passed from synchronous calls to an event-based asynchronous system. We also welcomed Milo as a new developer in our team. He is working on the server support and ssh_pki, which will provide a complete API to manipulate SSH keys. We also have to thank Oliver Stöneberg who tested 0.5 over the last months and sent a big amount of patches, and Eric Bischoff who authored many pages of the tutorial.
