Notes to packagers:

Since this is only a release candidate, we recommend only making this
available in *experimental* channels.

We welcome any feedback (both positive and negative) before we release the
final
1.4.0 release.  Testing of the macOS package would be especially useful, as
well as
systems not in our CI matrix (old RHEL, OpenBSD, Solaris, etc).

Please report any issues to Github or to our IRC channel at <
irc://irc.libera.chat/mosh>

Sincerely,
-- The Mosh release team
