This is to announce release 0.2.1 of my experimental SFTP server.  It is 
possible to use it with the OpenSSH server as a drop-in replacement for 
the SFTP server that it ships with.

It differs from the OpenSSH SFTP server in the following ways:
     * Support for protocol versions up to 6
     * Several SFTP extensions
     * Concurrent handling of pipelined requests

In this release, on Linux, access to /proc/self/mem is disabled. This 
removes a means of remote code execution. Anyone using older versions 
should upgrade immediately.

See http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Oct/35 for discussion of the 
analogous situation in OpenSSH.
