+ When an SSH server receives the very first message on a
+ new TCP connection, and that message is not the expected
+ one, the 64 first bytes of the received message are now
+ dumped in the INFO REPORT that reports the Protocol
+ Error.</p>
+ <p>
+ This facilitates the debugging of who sends the bad
+ message or of detecting a possible port scanning.</p>

+ The option <c>exec</c> has new option values defined to

+ server.</p>
+ <p>
+ An option called <c>exec</c> for daemons implementing the

+ has been undocumented. The old undocumented value - as

+ respectively.</p>
+ <p>
+ The old modules are kept for compatibility but should
