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.
