The input length field is now a size_t rather than an int, on general principles. The return value is now void (we weren't using the previous return value at all). And we now require the client to have previously allocated a BidiContext, which will allow allocated storage to be reused between runs, saving a lot of churn on malloc. (However, the current BidiContext doesn't contain anything interesting. I could have moved the existing mallocs into it, but there's no point, since I'm about to rewrite the whole thing anyway.)
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.
