PuTTY v.0.61 Released

PuTTY 0.61 is out, after over four years , with new features, bug fixes, and compatibility updates for Windows 7 and various SSH server software.

                                                         

PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Windows and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator

These features are new in beta 0.61:

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 zlib@openssh.com 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).
