fwiw, releases like this (and especially the notes) give me more confidence in the security of OpenSSH, not less.
Oh, I'm not saying that they shouldn't have released this. Of course they should. It's just creepy how often OpenSSH and OpenSSL security fixes happen just before we do a release.
Don't forget LibreSSL, which dropped 3.7.1 today.
Maybe they're just triggering major releases whenever they get incoming security issue(s), to reduce release overflow?
OpenBSD is currently in release mode, 7.3 is due out in April. Happens every 6 months like clockwork.
We users of FreeBSD appreciate your hard work Colin!
Thanks! This was a promotion I never wanted, but I'm doing my best to muddle through the release process.
