FreeBSD introduced VersionAddendum for the server as a local change in
2001 in commit 933ca70f8f and later extended it to the client in
commit 9e2cbe04ff.
In 2012 upstream added support for server VersionAddendum, in commit
23528816dc10. They do not support it for the client.
The argument for supporting this in the client is not nearly as strong
as for the server, so retire this option to reduce the scope of our
local patch set. This also avoids some cases of conflicts in ssh_config
during update, as a user's configuration would typically follow the
commented-out default VersionAddendum value.

With the upgrade to OpenSSH 6.7p1 in commit a0ee8cc636 we replaced
WITH_OPENSSL ifdefs with an OPENSSL_VERSION macro, later changing it
to OPENSSL_VERSION_STRING.
A few years later OpenSSH made an equivalent change (with a different
macro name), in commit 4d94b031ff88. Switch to the macro name they
chose.

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.0
Some highlights:
* ssh(1), sshd(8): use the hybrid Streamlined NTRU Prime + x25519 key
exchange method by default ("sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com").
The NTRU algorithm is believed to resist attacks enabled by future
quantum computers and is paired with the X25519 ECDH key exchange
(the previous default) as a backstop against any weaknesses in
NTRU Prime that may be discovered in the future. The combination
ensures that the hybrid exchange offers at least as good security
as the status quo.
* sftp-server(8): support the "copy-data" extension to allow server-
side copying of files/data, following the design in
draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-extensions-00. bz2948
* sftp(1): add a "cp" command to allow the sftp client to perform
server-side file copies.
This commit excludes the scp(1) change to use the SFTP protocol by
default; that change will immediately follow.

Release notes are available at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-8.9
Some highlights:
* ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-add(1), ssh-agent(1): add a system for
restricting forwarding and use of keys added to ssh-agent(1)
* ssh(1), sshd(8): add the sntrup761x25519-sha512@openssh.com hybrid
ECDH/x25519 + Streamlined NTRU Prime post-quantum KEX to the
default KEXAlgorithms list (after the ECDH methods but before the
prime-group DH ones). The next release of OpenSSH is likely to
make this key exchange the default method.
* sshd(8), portable OpenSSH only: this release removes in-built
support for MD5-hashed passwords. If you require these on your
system then we recommend linking against libxcrypt or similar.
Future deprecation notice
=========================
A near-future release of OpenSSH will switch scp(1) from using the
legacy scp/rcp protocol to using SFTP by default.
Legacy scp/rcp performs wildcard expansion of remote filenames (e.g.
"scp host:* .") through the remote shell. This has the side effect of
requiring double quoting of shell meta-characters in file names
included on scp(1) command-lines, otherwise they could be interpreted
as shell commands on the remote side.

OpenSSH v8.8p1 was motivated primarily by a security update and
deprecation of RSA/SHA1 signatures. It also has a few minor bug fixes.
The security update was already applied to FreeBSD as an independent
change, and the RSA/SHA1 deprecation is excluded from this commit but
will immediately follow.

Some notable changes, from upstream's release notes:
- sshd(8): Remove support for obsolete "host/port" syntax.
- ssh(1): When prompting whether to record a new host key, accept the key
fingerprint as a synonym for "yes".
- ssh-keygen(1): when acting as a CA and signing certificates with an RSA
key, default to using the rsa-sha2-512 signature algorithm.
- ssh(1), sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): this release removes the "ssh-rsa"
(RSA/SHA1) algorithm from those accepted for certificate signatures.
- ssh-sk-helper(8): this is a new binary. It is used by the FIDO/U2F
support to provide address-space isolation for token middleware
libraries (including the internal one).
- ssh(1): this release enables UpdateHostkeys by default subject to some
conservative preconditions.
- scp(1): this release changes the behaviour of remote to remote copies
(e.g. "scp host-a:/path host-b:") to transfer through the local host
by default.
- scp(1): experimental support for transfers using the SFTP protocol as
a replacement for the venerable SCP/RCP protocol that it has
traditionally used.
Additional integration work is needed to support FIDO/U2F in the base
system.
Deprecation Notice
------------------
OpenSSH will disable the ssh-rsa signature scheme by default in the
next release.

This completely removes client-side support for the SSH 1 protocol,
which was already disabled in 12 but is still enabled in 11. For that
reason, we will not be able to merge 7.6p1 or newer back to 11.
Re-apply r99054 by des in 2002. This was accidentally dropped
by the update to OpenSSH 6.5p1 (r261320).
This change is actually taken from r387082 of

Prior to this, setting VersionAddendum will be a no-op: one will
always have BASE_VERSION + " " + VERSION_HPN for VersionAddendum
set in the config and a bare BASE_VERSION + VERSION_HPN when there
is no VersionAddendum is set.
HPN patch requires both parties to have the "hpn" inside their
advertized versions, so we add VERSION_HPN to the VERSION_BASE
if HPN is enabled and omitting it if HPN is disabled.
VersionAddendum now uses the following logics:
* unset (default value): append " " and VERSION_ADDENDUM;
* VersionAddendum is set and isn't empty: append " "
and VersionAddendum;
* VersionAddendum is set and empty: don't append anything.

the bandwidth of long fat pipes (i.e. 100Mbps+ trans-oceanic or
trans-continental links). Bandwidth-delay products up to 64MB are
supported.
Also add support (not compiled by default) for the None cypher. The
None cypher can only be enabled on non-interactive sessions (those
without a pty where -T was not used) and must be enabled in both
the client and server configuration files and on the client command
line. Additionally, the None cypher will only be activated after
authentication is complete. To enable the None cypher you must add
-DNONE_CIPHER_ENABLED to CFLAGS via the make command line or in
/etc/make.conf.
This code is a style(9) compliant version of these features extracted
from the patches published at:

Merging this patch has been a collaboration between me and Bjoern.

I have worked hard to reduce diffs against the vendor branch. One
notable change in that respect is that we no longer prefer DSA over
RSA - the reasons for doing so went away years ago. This may cause
some surprises, as ssh will warn about unknown host keys even for
hosts whose keys haven't changed.
