New version of Putty released

Also still not 1.0, even though it's been stable for years

I guess they didn't get the memo from Chrome/Firefox...
Support for Win7 jumplists is really handy I guess, as v. often that's as far as I use Windows - I boot and the ssh-away

Ta, downloaded.

Cheers OH, I use putty constantly.

If you look carefully, the download page says this:

The latest release version (beta 0.61). This will generally be a version I think is reasonably likely to work well. If you have a problem with the release version, it might be worth trying out the latest development snapshot (below) to see if I've already fixed the bug, before reporting it to me.

It's good news that the project is still alive and the author is willing to look at bug reports.

Kitty is better, but ZOC is the best but not free...

Jesus! Looks like it was created by a 12 year old.

Just tried KiTTY and will probably use that from now on.

terra term instead of PuTTy

If you're trying to reset password on a Cisco router and using a USB->Sserial converter, Putty wont send Break command. I had to use TerraTerm which did the job.

May not seem that big a deal, but how many laptops have serial ports these days?!
