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:
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
“Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
