I've just updated the Cygwin version of OpenSSH to 5.5p1-1.
This is a new major upstream release. The Cygwin release is created
from the vanilla sources. It contains one Cygwin-specific change
which hasen't been mentioned in the official release message:
* The ssh-host-config script usually writes an "ssh" entry into the
Windows' /etc/services file. The code didn't work correctly in all
circumstances if case-sensitivity is enabled on the system (see
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive).
This has been fixed in the ssh-host-config with this release.
The official release message of 5.5p1:
====================================================================
OpenSSH 5.5 has just been released. It will be available from the
mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly.
OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0
implementation and includes sftp client and server support.
Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their
continued support of the project, especially those who contributed code
or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots or donated to the project.
More information on donations may be found at:
http://www.openssh.com/donations.html
This is a bugfix release.
Changes since OpenSSH 5.4
=========================
* Unbreak sshd_config's AuthorizedKeysFile option for $HOME-relative paths
* Fix compilation failures on platforms that lack dlopen()
* Include a language tag when sending a protocol 2 disconnection message.
* Make logging of certificates used for user authentication more clear and
consistent between CAs specified using TrustedUserCAKeys and
authorized_keys
Portable OpenSSH:
* Allow contrib/ssh-copy-id to fail gracefully when there are no keys in
the ssh-agent. bz#1723
