There were ad-hoc functions for fingerprinting a bare key blob in both cmdgen.c and pageant.c, not quite doing the same thing. Also, every SSH-2 public key algorithm in the code base included a dedicated fingerprint() method, which is completely pointless since SSH-2 key fingerprints are computed in an algorithm-independent way (just hash the standard-format public key blob), so each of those methods was just duplicating the work of the public_blob() method with a less general output mechanism. Now sshpubk.c centrally provides an ssh2_fingerprint_blob() function that does all the real work, plus an ssh2_fingerprint() function that wraps it and deals with calling public_blob() to get something to fingerprint. And the fingerprint() method has been completely removed from ssh_signkey and all its implementations, and good riddance.
PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?

Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature

in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
