Changes in VanDyke ClientPack 9.7 (Beta 1) -- August 7, 2025
------------------------------------------------------------

New Feature:

  - Added support for the diffie-hellman-group15-sha512 and
    diffie-hellman-group17-sha512 key-exchange algorithms.

Bug Fixes:

  - ECDSA keys generated by vkeygen and saved in OpenSSH format
    may not have been usable by OpenSSH clients.

  - Generated keys saved in the OpenSSH format were saved with
    Windows line endings, leading to compatibility issues with
    some tools, such as SSHFS-WIN.

  - When connecting to a server that advertised the supported public-
    key algorithms via the server-sig-algs extension, authentication
    may have attempted to use a public-key algorithm that the server
    did not support.
