The low-level functions to handle a single atom of base64 at a time have been in 'utils' / misc.h for ages, but the higher-level family of base64_encode functions that handle a whole data block were hidden away in sshpubk.c, and there was no higher-level decode function at all. Now moved both into 'utils' modules and declared them in misc.h rather than ssh.h. Also, improved the APIs: they all take ptrlen in place of separate data and length arguments, their naming is more consistent and more explicit (the previous base64_encode which didn't name its destination is now base64_encode_fp), and the encode functions now accept cpl == 0 as a special case meaning that the output base64 data is wanted in the form of an unbroken single-line string with no trailing \n.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
