Release Notes: This release added experimental sandboxing of network-facing code during the pre-authentication phase and SHA2-based HMAC modes for the SSH transport. sshd now sends logs from the privilege-separated process via a pipe, eliminating the need for /var/empty/dev/log. There were many more bugfixes and changes.

Release Notes: ECC support for kex exchange and public key authentication, SFTP hard link support, improved QoS/DSCP support, bandwidth limiting for SFTP, and more.
- 08 Mar 2010 12:30
Release Notes: This is a major feature and bugfix release. Major changes include disabling SSH protocol 1 by default, removal of legacy OpenSC/libsectok smartcard support, addition of PKCS#11 support, introduction of a new certificate authentication method for users and hosts, revised session multiplexing code, many improvements to sftp from the Google Summer of Code 2009, and lots of bugfixes.

Release Notes: Many bugs were fixed. Performance and features were improved.
- 30 Mar 2008 22:28
Release Notes: Execution of ~/.ssh/rc was disabled for sessions where a command has been forced by the sshd_config ForceCommand directive (unsafe default behavior). Chroot support for sshd was added. Internal sftp-server support was added to sshd, to allow chroot operation without support files. A "no-user-rc" option was added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to disable execution of ~/.ssh/rc in public key authentication. An sftp protocol extension, "posix-rename@openssh.com", was added to provide a rename operation with POSIX semantics.

This is one of the most important apps on my machine. I don't know why everyone doesn't use it. I fear telnet....

From my notes here is how I was able to do it:
On the client
1. upgrade the openssh to 2.2.x+
2. ssh-keygen -d -f $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa
3. cd $HOME/.ssh
4. ssh-keygen -x -f $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa > ssh2.pub
On fsecure server
5. copy ssh2.pub to $HOME/.ssh2/ssh2.pub
6. echo "Key ssh2.pub" > authorization
file format of DSA keys
OpenSSH uses PEM format for DSA key files which is incompatible with the SSH2 key file format. So far I couldn't get OpenSSH to authenticate with a DSA key to an ssh2 server because of this. I can't put the public key generated with OpenSSH on the ssh2 server and I can't get OpenSSH to use a private key generated with ssh-keygen2.
