I understand that no piece of software is ever finished but I think OpenSSH serves its purpose very well and isn't the kind of software that is worth adding experimental features that would change its scope/purpose and therefore releases tend towards bug fixes and security patches and in this sense makes it kind of "finished" as much as I hate saying it like that. An important aspect of unix philosophy is one tool does one job very well.
- mike-cardwell 11y agoI agree. I'm just trying to figure out what prompted this to be posted here? I assumed there would be something particularly interesting about this release, but I can't see it...
- s_dev 11y agoI suppose such a large number of people here would be absolutely dependant on OpenSSH so any kind change or update is news to them. As well the 7.0 version number makes for a lovely even number and catching headline.
- joshbaptiste 11y agoYep, major version number changes usually bring about excitement to view what's new...
