SSH
EGit 5.11 no longer supports the JSch library for SSH connections. By default EGit now always uses the Apache MINA sshd SSH library. The preference setting that allowed users to choose which library to use has been removed.
<TBD: mention upgrade to sshd 2.6.0 if and when it happens>
If environment variable GIT_SSH is set to the path of an SSH executable, EGit uses that external SSH program instead.
Other Changes
EGit 5.11 includes some less noticeable improvements in the UI, plus a number of bug fixes. The complete list of new features and bug fixes is available in the release notes.
