The changes in this new version are:

• Security fix: a buffer overrun in the old-style SCP protocol when receiving the header of each file downloaded from the server is fixed. See vuln-pscp-sink-sscanf.
• Windows PuTTY now sets its process ACL more restrictively, in an attempt to defend against malicious other processes reading sensitive data out of its memory.
• Assorted other robustness fixes for crashes and memory leaks.
• We have started using Authenticode to sign our Windows executables and installer.
