-  * SSH/SCP/SFTP core upgraded to WinSCP 4.0.4. It brings following changes:+  * SSH/SCP/SFTP core upgraded to WinSCP 4.1 beta. It brings following changes:
    * Plugin can itself setup SSH tunnel to allow indirect connections through proxy SSH host.     * Plugin can itself setup SSH tunnel to allow indirect connections through proxy SSH host.
 +    * Stored sessions can be organized into folders. [[bug>34]]
 +    * SSH core upgraded to [[&url(puttychanges)|PuTTY 0.60]]. It brings following changes:
 +      * Support for "local proxying", where a network connection is replaced by a local command.
 +      * Various cryptographic improvements in SSH-2, including SDCTR cipher modes and a workaround for a weakness in CBC cipher modes. Support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange with SHA-256 was not included due to performance problems.
 +      * Support for the Arcfour cipher in SSH-2.
 +      * When Pageant is running and an SSH key is specified in the configuration, WinSCP will now only try Pageant authentication with that key. This gets round a problem where some servers would only allow a limited number of keys to be offered before disconnecting.
 +      * Support for SSH-2 password expiry mechanisms, and various other improvements and bugfixes in authentication.
 +      * A change to the SSH-2 password camouflage mechanism in 0.58 upset some Cisco servers, so we have reverted to the old method.
 +      * Random seed file is being stored to application data folder when possible.
 +      * Bug fix: SSH-1 connections tended to crash, particularly when using port forwarding.
 +      * Bug fix: SSH Tectia Server would reject SSH-2 tunnels from WinSCP due to a malformed request.
 +      * Bug fix: SSH-2 login banner messages were being dropped silently under some circumstances.
 +      * Bug fix: IPv6 should now work on Windows Vista.
    * Synchronization enhanced:     * Synchronization enhanced:
      * When option //Preview changes// is turned on, checklist of synchronization actions is displayed, giving user option to review and confirm them all at once.       * When option //Preview changes// is turned on, checklist of synchronization actions is displayed, giving user option to review and confirm them all at once.

    * Authentication window introduced. It combines progress display with authentication prompts.     * Authentication window introduced. It combines progress display with authentication prompts.
 +  * Switched to [[http://rc.quest.com/topics/putty/|Quest PuTTY]] implementation of Kerberos/GSSAPI. It brings following changes:
 +    * Preference of GSS key exchange algorithms can be configured on //Key exchange// tab of login dialog.
 +    * Session option //Allow Kerberos 5 ticket forwarding in GSSAPI/SSPI// obsoleted (was probably useless anyway).
 +    * Session option //Server realm// renamed to //Service principal name//.
 +    * Speed limit can be actually set in KiB/s.
 +    * Custom command to execute SFTP server binary may be specified. This allows using ''su'' to run SFTP server. [[bug>84]]
 +    * Transfer settings were removed from transfer options dialog to simplify it. The settings can be changed by selecting transfer settings preset or by invoking custom transfer settings dialog (the same way as for synchronization).
    * Permission errors when setting attributes (permissions and timestamp) of remote file can be suppressed using new transfer option //Ignore permissions errors// (SFTP-only).     * Permission errors when setting attributes (permissions and timestamp) of remote file can be suppressed using new transfer option //Ignore permissions errors// (SFTP-only).
    * New option for handling of remote file timestamps: //Preserve remote timestamp//.     * New option for handling of remote file timestamps: //Preserve remote timestamp//.

-    * Support for Kerberos ticket forwarding. 
    * Mirror mode for synchronization, where files are updated on any timestamp difference (i.e. even newer files are updated).     * Mirror mode for synchronization, where files are updated on any timestamp difference (i.e. even newer files are updated).

    * When uploading to symbolic link with SFTP protocol, resuming is disabled to preserve the link.     * When uploading to symbolic link with SFTP protocol, resuming is disabled to preserve the link.
    * While downloading trailing space in filenames is replaced with ''%20'', as Windows does not allow them. [[bug>45]]     * While downloading trailing space in filenames is replaced with ''%20'', as Windows does not allow them. [[bug>45]]
 +    * More than one host key for a host may be accepted.
 +    * Saving password to stored session must be explicitly requested using checkbox on save session dialog (replaces previous warning message box). [[bug>136]]
 +    * During resumable transfers, the destination file is not removed (if present) until the transfer actually finishes.
 +    * When opening secondary shell session, startup actions like clearing of aliases, unsetting national variables and looking up user groups are not performed.
 +    * For SCP protocol, listing command can be fully specified to overcome specifics of platform (this obsoletes former option //Alias LS to display group name//). [[bug>142]]
 +    * Escaping of special characters is reversed on upload. [[bug>32]]
 +    * //KiB// is used instead of //KB// for kilobyte.
 +    * Estimated time is shown instead of elapsed time in queue list.
 +    * Host key confirmation dialog has an option to copy the key into clipboard.
 +    * //Server does not use UTF-8// changed to //UTF-8 encoding for filenames// and moved to //Environment// tab.
 +    * //Timezone offset// moved to //Environment// tab.
 +    * It is possible to optionally overwrite stored password with new one, if authentication with original stored password fails.
 +    * When saving session with password, option is given not to store the password.
 +    * Size of directory change cache is limited.
 +    * Most options on //SCP// tab of login dialog are disabled, when SCP protocol is not selected, to avoid confusion (although they can actually be used when SCP fallback is administered).
 +    * Default ping interval session option is not saved anymore.
 +    * Patterns hint next to proxy telnet/local command on Proxy tab of login dialog.
 +    * Change: Transfer option //Preserve read-only// is off by default.
 +    * On download with LF to CR/LF EOL conversion, CR EOL's were needlessly removed. [[bug>67]]
 +    * UTF-8 byte-order-mask is stripped on upload. [[bug>82]]
 +    * Example for switching user on login added to //Shell// session option (''%%/bin/bash -c 'sudo su -'%%'').
    * Bug fix: Uploads of files into previously non-existing directory could not be resumed (SFTP-only).     * Bug fix: Uploads of files into previously non-existing directory could not be resumed (SFTP-only).
