PuTTY version 0.53b is released
-------------------------------

All the pre-built binaries, and the source code, are now available
from the PuTTY website at

    http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

This is a minor patch release to 0.53; it contains only bug fixes,
and no new features.

 - The -P command-line option did not work in 0.53. It should be
   fixed in 0.53b.

 - Security and robustness fixes; notably a change in random number
   policy which should give a significant security improvement for
   anyone running more than one PuTTY at the same time.

Because of this security fix, we recommend that everyone upgrade to
0.53b as soon as possible, even if you do not need the -P bug fix.

Enjoy using PuTTY!

Cheers,
Simon
