OpenSSH version 3.8 has been released which contains various bug fixes and also a number of new features, which include:
* Supports sending application layer keep-alive messages to the server.
* Forced changes of expired passwords via passwd.
* Uses untrusted cookies for X11 forwarding.
* Improved sftp batch file support.
* Support for host keys in DNS.
* GSSAPI support replaced with "gssapi-with-mic" to eliminate attacks.
As well as more bug fixes and memory leak fixes. Although not mandatory, if you can see the new features being of use and you have the desire then go ahead and upgrade.
