Depois de 4 anos, o time desenvolvimento do Putty, a mais utilizada ferramenta para acesso telnet e ssh para o mundo Windows e alguns Unix é atualizada.

O time de desenvolvimento desta ferramenta trabalhou focando na resolução de diversos bugs e compatibilidade com o Windows 7. Algumas features foram lançadas. Abaixo, segue a lista de melhorias dessa nova versão:

• Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication in SSH-2.
• Local X11 authorisation support on Windows. (Unix already had it, of course.)
• Support for non-fixed-width fonts on Windows.
• GTK 2 support on Unix.
• Specifying the logical host name independently of the physical network address to connect to.
• Crypto and flow control optimisations.
• Support for the Este endereço de e-mail está protegido contra spambots. Você deve habilitar o JavaScript para visualizá-lo. SSH-2 compression method.
• Support for new Windows 7 UI features: Aero resizing and jump lists.
• Support for OpenSSH AES-encrypted private key files in PuTTYgen.
• Bug fix: handles OpenSSH private keys with primes in either order.
• Bug fix: corruption of port forwarding is fixed (we think).
• Bug fix: various crashes and hangs when exiting on failure,
• Bug fix: hang in the serial back end on Windows.
• Bug fix: Windows clipboard is now read asynchronously, in case of deadlock due to the clipboard owner being at the far end of the same PuTTY’s network connection (either via X forwarding or via tunnelled rdesktop).
