+
+- Improved initial connection time particularly with high latency connections.
+ The number of round trips has been reduced for both client and server.
+ CPU time hasn't been changed.
+
+- Client will attempt to send an initial key exchange packet to save a round
+ trip. Dropbear implements an extension kexguess2@matt.ucc.asn.au to allow
+ the first packet guess to succeed in wider circumstances than the standard
+ behaviour. When communicating with other implementations the standard
+ behaviour is used.
+
+- Client side: when public key or password authentication with
+ $DROPBEAR_PASSWORD is used, an initial authentication request will
+ be sent immediately rather than querying the list of available methods.
+ This behaviour is enabled by CLI_IMMEDIATE_AUTH option (on by default),
+ please let the Dropbear author know if it causes any interoperability
+ problems.
+
+- Implement client escape characters ~. (terminate session) and
+ ~^Z (background session)
+
+- Server will more reliably clean up utmp when connection is closed
+
+- Don't crash if /dev/urandom isn't writable (RHEL5), thanks to Scott Case
+
+- Add "-y -y" client option to skip host key checking, thanks to Hans Harder
+
+- scp didn't work properly on systems using vfork(), thanks to Frank Van Uffelen
+
+- Added IUTF8 terminal mode support. Not yet standardised though seems that it
+ will soon be
+
+- Some verbose DROPBEAR_TRACE output is now hidden unless $DROPBEAR_TRACE2
+ enviroment variable is set
+
