[mosh-devel] mosh 1.2 released

[Keith Winstein]

Hello Mosh users and developers,

mosh 1.2 has been released.

The source code is at: https://github.com/downloads/keithw/mosh/mosh-1.2.tar.gz

This version polishes a number of rough edges, and especially:

* Boost is no longer required to compile Mosh

* Mosh passes the locale over the connection for users who don't have
SSH configured to do so

* Mosh provides more helpful diagnostics

* The client has a --ssh= option to give options to the startup SSH,
including setting a port number or key file

* Mosh uses compiler hardening flags when available

* Added support for FreeBSD, Cygwin, RHEL/CentOS 5, OS X 10.5 on PPC

* Improved support for OS X 10.6 and ARM platforms.

* Many bug fixes and some performance improvements

===

The new version is backwards-compatible with mosh clients back to 0.96
and mosh servers back to 1.0.9, but to realize some of these benefits
you will need version 1.2 installed on both client and server. Please
let us know of any problems (https://github.com/keithw/mosh/issues).

Best regards from the Mosh team,
Keith
