DHeadshot's Alt<p>If there are bugs in <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PuTTY</span></a> that have been present since 0.77, surely I can't be the first person to encounter them???</p>
DHeadshot's Alt<p>Really weird: just found a problem with PuTTY where, when connecting to an instance of <a href="https://donuts-are-good.github.io/shhhbb/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">donuts-are-good.github.io/shhh</span><span class="invisible">bb/</span></a> over SSH, I can't send any data. It appears to be an issue with <a href="https://topspicy.social/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PuTTY</span></a> as it works with PuTTY 0.76 but not in any later version. Thing is, this is the *second, unrelated* thing I've tried to do in PuTTY that works before 0.77 but not on or afterwards! Seems there was a major refactor there, but I can't track down the issues myself (as an outsider). Weird and Frustrating!</p>

Simon Tatham<p>We've released <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PuTTY</span></a> version 0.83.</p><p>This release is mostly full of bug fixes following up the new development in 0.82. Most significantly, 'psftp -b' was completely broken, and now works again. Also various assertion failures, crashes and hangs. On the Unix side, we've fixed an intermittent bug making the keys on the small keypad above the arrows (Home, End, Ins, Del etc) not work in the terminal.</p><p>We've also extended our <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/quantumsafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quantumsafe</span></a> cryptography support, by supporting <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MLKEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MLKEM</span></a> as a key exchange option, in addition to NTRU Prime which we already had.</p><p><a href="https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath</span><span class="invisible">am/putty/</span></a></p>

Simon Tatham<p>Pre-release builds of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PuTTY</span></a> 0.83 are now available.</p><p>This is mostly a bug-fix release. 0.82 went out in a bit of a hurry, and users reported half a dozen bugs quite quickly, most notably that PSFTP forgot how to handle the -b option. Those are now all fixed.</p><p>Also new: support for a 2nd post-quantum key agreement scheme (ML-KEM), and improved support for Unicode filenames on Windows.</p><p>Please test!

Royce Williams<p>PuTTY for Debian bookworm is at 0.78; 0.82 was released today and has significant Unicode rework that is relevant to my interests. I have no idea why Debian's PuTTY is so far behind. Compiling from source works with zero errors, building all the binaries (pageant, etc.) ... but not putty itself. Checking out previous releases from git, they also skip putty itself. 🤷 </p><p>Am I missing something obvious or well known?</p><p>[Edit: no new port because stable (thanks, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@RichiH" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>RichiH</span></a></span> for the reminder!).

Simon Tatham<p>We've released <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/PuTTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PuTTY</span></a> version 0.82.</p><p>The biggest change is improved Unicode support. Usernames and passwords read from the terminal or the Windows console now support full Unicode, so that you can use characters outside the Windows system code page, or the character set configured in PuTTY. The same is true for usernames and file names provided via the PuTTY tools' command line and via the GUI (but unfortunately not yet if you save and reload a session).</p>

E.g. the old cert hasn't expired yet, so I could use each one to cross-sign a declaration that the other one belongs to the same person.</p><p>Is there a standard procedure for this?</p>
