[mosh-devel] Please test Mosh 1.2.4 release candidate

[Keith Winstein]

Hello all,

I'd be very grateful if you could test the Mosh 1.2.4 release
candidate. We are looking to release this by the end of the week.
Testers on the BSDs, Cygwin, and Solaris/AIX are especially helpful.
Most notable for packagers, the upcoming release will eliminate a
dependency on the IO::Pty Perl module (thanks to Anton Lundin), so we
expect that Cygwin can go back to the Perl wrapper.
