Hello Mosh users and developers,
mosh 1.3.0 has been released.
The source code is at: https://mosh.org/mosh-1.3.0.tar.gz
(SHA-256: 320e12f461e55d71566597976bd9440ba6c5265fa68fbf614c6f1c8401f93376)
John Hood was the primary developer and release coordinator and
deserves all our thanks.
Change in version numbering: We have switched our version numbering to
follow the semver.org recommendations. Mosh will increment the minor
version number any time we add new functionality. (In our previous
practice, this release would probably have been called "1.2.7".)
Compatibility: mosh 1.2.7 is backwards-compatible with mosh-clients
back to 0.96 and mosh-servers back to 1.0.9.
macOS binary package: We are releasing a macOS binary package.
https://mosh.org/mosh-1.3.0.pkg is an amd64 build for 10.10 and later.
(SHA-256: a423fcb5aab7079e20b03cfa5e8623bb89391087dd5492d68947c89a39eee80c)
However, we encourage macOS users to install via MacPorts or Homebrew,
instead of using the binary package, in order to receive automatic upgrades.
Bugs: Please let us know of any problems at the GitHub issue tracker,
at https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues. The developers can
also be found on IRC at <irc://irc.freenode.net/mosh>.
