**As of Nov 1st 2016, active development on Win32 fork is being done in https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable.**
PowerShell/openssh-portable is forked off OpenSSH portable repo @ https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable. Current focus is to stabilize the manually merged changes in this fork from Win32-OpenSSH. Since there are still a handful of merge issues that need to be resolved, Nov-Mid release will be skipped.
This repo (https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH) is being maintained to keep track of releases and issues. Win32-OpenSSH will be deprecated once changes in PowerShell/openssh-portable are integrated back into openssh/openssh-portable.

- Unicode support in Windows: Windows APIs are typically UTF-16 based while on Unix, its UTF-8. All ssh binaries willon Windows can now take in Unicode arguments, support Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16) based configuration, key and log files, accurately encode file names going over SCP and SFTP.
- POSIX File API support in Windows: SFTP and SCP code is cleaned up to effectively use original OpenSSH code on Windows.
- Syncing Win32 fork with the latest changes from OpenSSH main repo. All changes from OpenSSH 7.3 (latest stable source) are integrated in Win32 fork.
- Code cleanup and refactoring - Common OpenSSH code is cleaned up and ready to take upstream (we'll first seek feedback from OpenSSH community)
- Code cleanup and refactoring - Common OpenSSH code is cleaned up and ready to take upstream. Changes in [this](https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable/tree/latestw) branch are ready for community feedback.
- Automated build and validation system - automated Windows builds, unittest and E2E test runs is now enabled.
#### Work in progress
- Adding more E2E tests for Windows. Details [here] (https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/330).
- Getting fork ready to seek community feedback and subsequently upstream integration.
- Adding more E2E tests for Windows. Details [here] (https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/330).
