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:
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
