Bug Tracker
27/12/10 - 07:20pm
Our new system for bug tracking and development coordination is up and running:
We are using Redmine as the bug tracking system running with mod_passenger.
What is this?
libssh is a mulitplatform C library implementing the SSHv2 and SSHv1 protocol on client and server side. With libssh, you can remotely execute programs, transfer files, use a secure and transparent tunnel for your remote applications.
Read our Tutorial and take a look at our testing infrastructure!

Automated testing for libssh
21/12/10 - 08:29pm
As we have new hardware we installed several virtual machines to do automatic testing of libssh. Currently there is a Linux machine with builds libssh with different configurations and compilers. We have FreeBSD machine too. You find see the results on:
Windows builds will follow in the next weeks as soon as we have the licenses. The plan is that this Windows machine will provide libssh binaries for stable releases and the development tree.
For static source code analysis we use scan-build. The results can be found here. They are updated every night.
New hardware for libssh.org

We have new hardware for libssh.org. So several services of libssh.org have moved to a new server. The most important services have already been enabled again.
Git clone:
git clone git://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git
