OpenBSD will ship with a free implementation of SSH based on 1.2.12. We'll bring it up to present standards, of course (security fixes and functionality). We're calling it OpenSSH-1.0 but we didn't want to announce it until we were sure it was solid for the OpenBSD 2.6 release. People who subscribe to our CVS commit mailing list got a sneak preview. You're on the mailing list for the official press release.
