But it would of course be even nicer if there actually *was* a release supporting `hmac-sha2-256`. I had a look at your mailing list archive, and saw that in the past two months, there were at least two discussions on making a release, but both seem to have faded away again with no action.\r\n\r\nAs it is, libssh2 is one of the few remaining popular SSH2 implementations which does not support `hmac-sha2-256` -- you can see that nicely on the comparision page I made at http://ssh-comparison.quendi.de/comparison.html\r\n\r\nMore specifically, there are seven implementations not supporting `hmac-sha2-256` of these, three are based on libssh2 (in addition to libssh2 itself), and two are inactive, and one has unknown status.
