Hello Mosh users and developers,

mosh 1.2.6 has been released.

The source code is at: https://mosh.org/mosh-1.2.6.tar.gz
(SHA-256: 7e82b7fbfcc698c70f5843bb960dadb8e7bd7ac1d4d2151c9d979372ea850e85)

John Hood was the release coordinator and deserves all of our thanks.
Major new features, all due to John, include:

- - huge performance improvements, especially on large terminals,
- - the ability to set a timeout to end dormant sessions automatically, and
- - support for crypto libraries other than OpenSSL (Nettle and
  Apple Common Crypto).

On the developer side, we now have an end-to-end test suite and
continuous-integration tests on every pull request. We also worked
around a bad interaction with glibc 2.22 that caused mosh-server to
crash on startup.

Compatibility: mosh 1.2.6 is backwards-compatible with mosh-clients
back to 0.96 and mosh-servers back to 1.0.9.

macOS binary package: We are releasing a macOS binary package.

https://mosh.org/mosh-1.2.6.pkg is an i386+amd64 build for 10.9 and later.
(SHA-256: 5eb7797b0c3a5423da1c62f80f8e6268acd55b1b10a850e58fd7bb8f6bdb520d)

However, we encourage macOS users to install via MacPorts or Homebrew,
instead of using the binary package, in order to receive automatic upgrades.

Bugs: Please let us know of any problems at the GitHub issue tracker,
at https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues. The developers can
also be found on IRC at <irc://irc.freenode.net/mosh>.

https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh (from https://github.com/keithw/mosh).
The Mosh website has moved to https://mosh.org (from https://mosh.mit.edu).
