If you own this change, please add additional information here that we should communicate to Fedora users. Specifically, please consider:
Your notes to us do not need to be formally written. We will edit them and add details as needed. This is a way for you to ensure that we know what is critical about your change.
If you want to write this release note, then:
Once you're done with the above, make sure to either commit the relnote to an appropriate section of the Release Notes book, or, if you're not familiar with Git, AsciiDoc, or whatever else, just add it to this issue as a comment and let pbokoc[1] and Brian ( @bex ) know that you're done with this one and you'd like the note included. Also make sure to do this even for relnotes that haven't been checked by the change owner.
[0] You can do that by asking the change owner listed on the wiki page; alternatively you can infer it by checking the tracker bug (linked in Wiki) in Bugzilla and looking at its status; see bug comments for details. Ask someone on the mailing list or on IRC if you're not sure. [1] In #fedora-docs on FreeNode (UTC+1 timezone, online mostly during the day on weekdays), or pbokoc @redhat.com if you can't get a hold of me on IRC.
The link on top of the description is incorrect. It should be https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/libssh-in-libcurl instead (but I do not seem to be allowed to fix it).
Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
I propose to document it as follows:
curl now uses libssh (instead of libssh2) to implement the SCP and SFTP protocols. Thanks to this change, curl now supports elliptic curves-based host key types, elliptic curves-based key exchange methods, and GSS-API authentication.
@asn Could you please review the above release note from technical point of view?
