This is an ambitious update which will hopefully transform your mosh experience for some of you. Say hello to the self-installing mosh server. Now, Blink will seamlessly upgrade your connection during mosh bootstrap. To do this and laying the foundation of more stuff to come, ve've also reimplemented the Mosh client on Swift. To top it off, we've fine-tuned SSH config file parsing and squashed pesky bugs, and we did a lot of other housekeeping.
- **Mosh Auto-Install Power:** Blink now introduces Mosh auto-installation, effortlessly upgrading your connection from ssh anywhere. No root access required. Use the `--install-static` flag.
- **Revamped Mosh Client:** Our Mosh client had a facelift. A lot of enhancements are up and coming. You can already enjoy IPv4 and IPv6 support with the `--6` and `--4` flags, ensuring seamless connections.
- **Mosh1 If You Need It** Encountering issues? Easily switch to the old Mosh with the `mosh1` command to keep you connected.
- **Security Updates** An updated LibSSH, addressing vulnerabilities like the Terrapin attack and other crucial security patches.
- **A slew of SSH improvements!** Notable additions include the GatewayPorts feature, allowing you to expose ports to other machines in your network. Improved SSH Config flags, Config Sync, etc...
- **PragmataPro Upgrade** Elevate your coding experience with PragmataPro 830, now featuring Nerd fonts and a sleeker appearance.
- **Auto-Lock Customization:** Customize timeout options to match your preferences seamlessly.
- **And Much More!** Explore a host of additional features and fixes, from a revamped Keys dialog to enhanced iCloud sync and External Display support.

Blink Shell, Build & Code version 17.1.0
Updated At: 2023-11-06
Changes: Nov 6, 2023
Version 17.1.0
We continue with our focus set on the Terminal, Mosh and SSH until the end of year. Here is what's new:
- We have renewed our fonts repository to make it easier to install Nerd Fonts and powerline fonts.
- When sending a sequence, want to send Input as an alternative to Send Hex #1888
- Create new host by duplicating another (Thanks to Krathen for the heads up) #1108
- Unified the saving behavior for Hosts and User screens. Those required the user to press Save explicitly. We now make it more obvious with Save and Cancel. #1742
- Some servers, like GitHub, would emit a message on stderr and disconnect. We are now showing the error in that case. #1448
- Deleting a Host would not immediately make it disappear from the Files.app until restart. We now sync the FP properly. #1857
