SSH library

In the last release we had introduced a new SSH client based on the Apache MINA sshd library as an alternative to the JSch-based client. In EGit 5.3.0 the default settings are switched: by default, the Apache MINA implementation is used.

TBD: With Egit 5.3.0 it is now also possible to use encrypted new-style OpenSSH private keys, for instance password-protected ed25519 keys.

We plan to remove the old JSch SSH implementation completely in a future release of EGit.

TBD: Merge and compare editor improvements

The merge and compare viewers have been improved to enable more functions (such as "Show Whitespace") also in edge cases where they didn't work before, and to react on changes done outside of the merge or compare editor.

Other Changes

The complete list of new features and bug fixes is available in the release notes.
