[mosh-devel] Please test mosh 1.2 release candidate

[Keith Winstein]

Hello all,

achernya found that we were missing a script necessary to enable
binary hardening flags in the 1.1.95 distribution tar.gz.

Could you please retest with:

https://github.com/downloads/keithw/mosh/mosh-1.1.96.tar.gz

Thank you,
Keith
