 A modern SSH client for Mac OS 7/8/9.
 
-Project status: as of 0.5.0 (see github releases), a functional SSH client with decent terminal emulation, able to run programs like `htop` and `nano`.  See "to do" section below for upcoming work.

 to do
 -----
-* refactor libssh2 usage to handle errors and centralize network ops
-* key authentication, and radio buttons on connection dialog for password vs key
-* preferences
-* saving/loading connection settings
+* preferences file
+* saving/loading connection settings as a filetype
 * check server keys/known hosts/keys
-* nicer error presentation for issues like wrong password or bad connection (not connected to network, no dns, etc.)
+* clean up libssh2 network ops
+* nicer error presentation for more failure cases
 * read Apple HIG and obsessively optimize placement of all GUI elements
-* improve draw speed (big refactor, need to use an "offscreen graphics world" framebuffer, also hook scrolling into vterm)
-* figure out retro68 mcpu issue, improve 68k connection performance (rewrite `mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod` in assembly)
