This is the fourth milestone pre-release on the way to a new major version Apache MINA SSHD 3.0.0.
Like regular releases it is available in Maven Central and in the Apache repositories; the Apache source release is also at the usual location.
See the change notes for what has changed with respect to version 2.
This fourth milestone just merges 2.18.0 into 3.0, bringing in the improvements done in the 2.x main stream.
Version 3 of Apache MINA SSHD is not API compatible with version 2. API comparison reports and a (very high-level and tentative) roadmap are available on the 3.0.0 development website.
This pre-release has passed all our quality and regression tests, just like any other release. We encourage interested parties to try this pre-release. Be aware that APIs might change in future milestone pre-releases.
