As the title says: New 0.79 Release
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk
PuTTY 0.79, released today, is mostly a bug fix release, with only minor new features in SSH and terminal mouse handling.
The most important bug fix is that we've restored the Windows 'installscope' to the way it was in 0.77 and earlier, reverting the security work around we had to put into 0.78. This means the 0.79 Windows installer will not uninstall 0.78 automatically, so we recommend uninstalling 0.78 by hand first, if you have it installed. As before, if you've ended up with both versions installed, uninstalling them both and then running the new installer will put everything right.
