Version History
PuTTY's development dates back to early 1999, and it has been a usable SSH-2 client since October 2000.
Prior to 0.58, three consecutive releases (0.55–0.57) were made to fix significant security holes in previous versions, some allowing client compromise even before the server is authenticated.
Version 0.58, released in April 2005, contained several new features, including improved Unicode support, for international characters and right-to-left or bidirectional languages.
Version 0.59, released in January 2007, implemented new features such as connection to serial ports, local proxying, support for SSH and SFTP speed improvements, changes to the documentation format (for Vista compatibility), and has several bugfixes.
Version 0.60, released in April 2007, implements three new features and some bugfixes.
Snapshot r9120 2011-03-05 added support for the zlib@openssh.com delayed compression scheme.
Version 0.61 Beta, released in July 2011, implements new features, bug fixes, and compatibility updates for Windows 7 and various SSH server software.
Version 0.62, released in December 2011, contains some bug fixes, including one security vulnerability.

Famous quotes containing the words version and/or history:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
