libssh-0.8.6 (xmas edition)

This is a bugfix release for libssh and maybe a christmas present for some of you 🙂 This mostly fixes some bugs or regressions introduced by the packet filter. However the packet filter is also a good documentation about packet flow.

If you are new to libssh you should read our tutorial how to get started. Please join our mailing list or visit our irc channel if you have questions.
