New release

  • New option to abandon an SSH connection if the server allows you to authenticate in a trivial manner.
  • Bug fix: Windows PuTTY crashed when the 'Use system colours' option was used.
  • Bug fix: crash on Windows when using MIT Kerberos together with 'Restart Session'.
  • Bug fix: Windows PuTTY leaked named pipes after contacting Pageant.
  • Bug fix: Windows PuTTY didn't update the window while you held down the scrollbar arrow buttons long enough to 'key-repeat'.
  • Bug fix: user colour-palette reconfiguration via 'Change Settings' were delayed-action.
  • Bug fix: server colour-palette reconfigurations were sometimes lost.
  • Bug fix: a tight loop could occur on reading a truncated private key file.
  • Bug fix: the Windows Pageant GUI key list didn't display key lengths.

New release

These features are new in 0.74 (released 2020-06-27):

  • Security fix: if an SSH server accepted an offer of a public key and then rejected the signature, PuTTY could access freed memory, if the key had come from an SSH agent.
  • Security feature: new config option to disable PuTTY's dynamic host key preference policy, if you prefer to avoid giving away to eavesdroppers which hosts you have stored keys for.
  • Bug fix: the installer UI was illegible in Windows high-contrast mode.
  • Bug fix: console password input failed on Windows 7.
  • Bug fixes in the terminal: one instance of the dreaded "line==NULL" error box, and two other assertion failures.
  • Bug fix: potential memory-consuming loop in bug-compatible padding of an RSA signature from an agent.
  • Bug fix: PSFTP's buffer handling worked badly with some servers (particularly proftpd's mod_sftp).
  • Bug fix: cursor could be wrongly positioned when restoring from the alternate terminal screen. (A bug of this type was fixed in 0.59; this is a case that that fix missed.)
  • Bug fix: character cell height could be a pixel too small when running GTK PuTTY on Ubuntu 20.04 (or any other system with a similarly up-to-date version of Pango).
  • Bug fix: old-style (low resolution) scroll wheel events did not work in GTK 3 PuTTY. This could stop the scroll wheel working at all in VNC.
