This is the first release in the new development series. There may still be some bugfix releases of lsh-1.4.x, e.g. the setsid bug fixed in 1.5 may be serious enough to warrant a new 1.4.x release.
News for the 1.5 release
Implemented the server side of X11 forwarding. Try lshd --x11-forward. There's one known bug: The server may start sending data on the sessioc channel (typically your first shell prompt) before it has sent the reply to the client's "shell" or "exec" request. lsh will complain about, and ignore that data.
As part of the X11 hacking, the socket code have been reorganized.
Deleted one of the ipv6 configure tests. Now lsh will happily build ipv6 support even if ipv6 is not available at run-time on the build machine.
Fixed bug preventing -c none from working.
Another bug fix, call setsid even in the non-pty case.
Various bug fixes.

I'd also like to announce the new, quite minimalistic, LSH homepage. See <URL: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/lsh%3E. Some of the material, inparticular the link list at the end, is copied from Martin's psst pages. Comments welcome.
