    Hi all,

    🚀 We're happy to announce the upcoming release of Mosh 1.2.6, and are
    🚀 calling for testing on Mosh 1.2.5.95rc1. The release has picked up
    🚀 some minor new features in the year since the last release such as
    👍 better IPv6 support and tools to handle orphaned sessions. However,
    🐎 it's also seen significant improvements in performance, testing, and
    portability.

    📦 One standalone OS X package is available:

    📦 (If you are using a package system such as MacPorts or Homebrew, I
    recommend using that, though.)

    🏗 As always, Ubuntu PPA builds of the latest source are available at
    ppa:keithw/mosh.

    📦 Packagers, please note that Mosh has some minor dependency changes: Perl
    is now required to be >= 5.14, but IO::Socket modules are no longer
    📦 required. If anybody needs to package for older versions of Perl, talk
    🚀 to me and I'll probably bring something into the release. Also, if
    📦 anyone needs an OS X package for 10.8 or lower, please contact me.

    ✅ Your testing is very unlikely to prove Mosh to be free of bugs, but your
    🚀 testing will help us make 1.2.6 a better release. Please report any
    issues you find on Github, and we can be found on IRC at
    irc://irc.freenode.net/mosh.

    🚀 Looking ahead, we expect Mosh 1.3 to be a feature release, bringing
    significant new functionality. SSH agent forwarding is high on the list.

    The Mosh team thanks you for your help.
