Public key authentication not working in 2.1 beta (#119)

I'm using Pageant to authenticate using ssh-rsa keys (SSH2). They work like a charm in Putty (0.53b), but here's the log snippet from WinSCP2

Does anyone have same problem?

It works fine for me. But naturally I will make some more tests. Thanks for letting me know.

With SSH2-RSA? With Pageant?

I've tried all compinations: SSH1/SSH2, RSA/DSA, with/without Pageant. Everything works.

Does public key authentication work for you when you don't use Pageant?
