Rooste SSH 0.1.0

The first release.

Sessions and terminal

• SSH sessions in tabs and split panes, with a searchable session manager (folders, tags) and a
  command palette.
• Duplicate a tab, reconnect automatically when a connection drops, and broadcast input to
  several sessions.
• Telnet, raw TCP and serial connections.
• True color, Unicode and mouse support; search through the scrollback (Ctrl+Shift+F); per-tab
  zoom (Ctrl + / Ctrl − / Ctrl 0); logging sessions to plain-text files.
• Light and dark themes; portable mode.

Logins and security

• SSH agent (OpenSSH, Pageant on Windows, or the built-in agent), key files in OpenSSH and
  .ppk format (including old encrypted PEM keys), passwords in the system keyring, and
  keyboard-interactive login with one-time codes.
• Host keys checked against ~/.ssh/known_hosts; unknown keys are confirmed first.
• Outdated algorithms only when enabled for a session.

Forwarding and files

• Local, remote and dynamic (SOCKS) port forwarding with saved tunnels; jump hosts
  (ProxyJump); agent and X11 forwarding.
• An SFTP file panel: browse, upload and download files and folders, drag and drop uploads,
  "Download to…".

Tools

• Key generator, .ppk ⇄ OpenSSH key converter and a built-in SSH agent.
• Import from ~/.ssh/config and from PuTTY saved sessions.
• rooste-cli, a command-line client.

Distribution

• Windows MSI installer and portable zip; Linux .deb, .rpm, AppImage, .tar.gz and Flatpak.
