#OPENSSH VERSION INSTALL#

No, that's totally a guess, based on my observation on frequency of released version. There will always a test anyway, why not choose a newer version?Īre you confident that there is anything particularly interesting coming in OpenSSH 8.4 that you are desperately waiting for? If we think one more step, there will be a test when we choose version 8.1 to be shipped, but there will also be a test if we choose the latest released version 8.3 to be shipped. Let them first ship in Windows the very important (Kerberos! ConPTY!) and well-tested features of OpenSSH 7.9, 8.0 and 8.1 that we already have, rather than asking for features of future releases that do not even exist yet. “Version ten is really where we want to be at”, to quote Stefan Karpinsky (after being nagged when Julia 1.0 will finally be released). Or we take release frequency into consideration, plan to ship future version 8.4? How is the version “0.0.1.0” displayed wrote: When do you expect the version that comes as a feature with Windows to be at least 7.9p1 or newer? What is holding back releasing the excellent newer versions of OpenSSH for Windows as a Windows 10 optional feature? While I myself am perfectly confident with unzipping the latest versions from GitHub and adjusting PATH etc., some of my colleagues may not be, therefore, in the interest of easier collaboration via Active Directory (GSSAPI/Kerberos) based authentication, I am very interested in more recent versions becoming a standard Windows 10 feature.

As a result, I have to instruct colleagues to manually download and install the GitHub version, rather than simply add the one that came with their OS distribution.

GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication (since 7.9)Įach new Windows 10 release, I am disappointed that it still ships with OpenSSH for Windows 7.7 as an optional feature.

That is an ancient version (from 2018) that still lacks the game-changing improvements that have happened since, in particular OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5
