  - Set DiffServ code point and ECN-capable (Dave Täht)
  - Slow down if explicit congestion notification received
  - Warn about unattached Mosh sessions on login
  - Compatible with KDE konsole (uses BEL to terminate OSC)
  - Improved heuristic about color of predicted characters

* Bug fixes:
  - Improved performance on systems with expensive time
  - No longer choke on "ffff::" address for hosts with IPv6
  - More conservative MTU and datagram sizing

* Platform support:
  - Build on Solaris and IllumOS (Timo Sirainen, Ira Cooper)
  - Build on ARM with gcc 4.7 (Alexander Chernyakhovsky)

* Licensing changes:
  - Allow distribution on Apple App Stores
  - Allow linking with OpenSSL
