Mosh for Chrome v0.3.0 released
Richard Woodbury
Mosh for Chrome v0.3.0 has been pushed to the Chrome Web Store and should show up in your browser shortly. Remember that you must close any open sessions before the update will take effect.
This release upgrades to upstream mosh v1.2.5, which adds these features:
- IPv6 support.
- XTerm mouse mode.
- And more.
Note that you must upgrade the server side to mosh v1.2.5 or higher to enjoy these new features, but Mosh for Chrome is backward compatible with older mosh-server versions.
This release also upgrades to libssh v0.7.1 (from v0.6.0), which adds support for some new key types and improves security. A patch was also added which supports ssh certificates. Unfortunately, ed25519 host keys are not supported, due to a bug either in the libssh or the way Mosh for Chrome uses it (see Issue #103), but the existence of such a key on the server should not prevent connections.
There are also some new features in addition:
- An actual UI for tweaking terminal settings (thanks, @mjkelly!).
- Improvements to how ssh key fingerprints are displayed.
- Better language when name resolution fails.
- Experimental support for ssh agent authentication via 3rd-party Chrome app.
