A modern SSH client for Mac OS 7/8/9.
Project status: as of 0.6.0 (see github releases), a functional SSH client with decent terminal emulation, with login via key or password, and is able to run programs like `htop` and `nano`. See "to do" section below for upcoming work.
Project status: as of 0.6.1 ([see github releases](https://github.com/cy384/ssheven/releases)), a functional SSH client with color terminal emulation, able can login via key or password, capable of running programs like `htop` and `nano`. See roadmap below for upcoming work (i.e., things that aren't done yet).

system requirements
-------------------
* CPU: Any PPC processor, or a 33 MHz 68040/68LC040 (maybe 25 MHz). Presently, all 68030/68020 CPUs are too slow.
* RAM: 2MB
* Disk space: 1MB for the fat binary
* System 7.5 recommended, earlier System 7 versions possible with the Thread Manager extension installed
* Open Transport networking required, version 1.1.1 or later recommended

to do
-----
* preferences file
* saving/loading connection settings as a filetype
* check server keys/known hosts/keys
* clean up libssh2 network ops
* nicer error presentation for more failure cases
* read Apple HIG and obsessively optimize placement of all GUI elements
* hook scrolling into vterm
* figure out retro68 mcpu issue
* improve 68k connection performance (rewrite `mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod` in assembly)
* improve draw speed (big refactor, need to use an "offscreen graphics world" framebuffer)
* font size options
* text selection + copy
feature/bug-fix roadmap
-----------------------
0.7.0
* color
* color mode/terminal type option
* preferences file (save key locations, known hosts/keys, most recent host+port+(key or password choice), color prefs)
* check server keys/known hosts/keys
0.8.0
* hook scrolling into vterm
* saving/loading connection settings as a filetype
* font/size options
0.9.0
* clean up libssh2 network ops (write fn, read safety, don't allow send until connected, quit while connected lockup)
* read Apple HIG and obsessively optimize placement of all GUI elements
* nicer error presentation for more failure cases
1.0.0 (first "real" release)
* fix up keycode translation (especially control combos)
* RNG improvements
* solve 68k crashes/finicky build issues ([retro68 issue](https://github.com/autc04/Retro68/issues/38))
?.?.?
* scp file transfer
* initial key exchange is too slow for 68030 and 68020 systems (improve `mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod`)
* console draw speed is slow/flickery (big refactor, try to use an "offscreen graphics world" framebuffer)
* text selection + copy
* more complete color support (will need to use color quickdraw, currently uses an 8-color hack for traditional quickdraw)
* preference file on OS 9 doesn't have the icon
* clean up/update versions of libssh and mbedtls
