OpenSSH 7.0 Released
OpenSSH 7.0 has been released, the latest major update to the OpenBSD-led project that provides a widely-used SSH 2.0 implementation.
OpenSSH 7.0 has a number of security fixes/improvements, disables support by default at compile-time for legacy SSHv1, disables various other less secure options by default, and a big security change is changing the PermitRootLogin option from yes to prohibit-password so that you can only directly login as root if you have your SSH key present on the system.
OpenSSH 7.0 also adds some new options, corrects a number of random bugs, and also has improvements for Portable OpenSSH.
More details via this morning's release announcement.
