the PuTTY suite that involve it accessing its own executables, such as
\i{\q{New Session}} and \q{Duplicate Session}, will not work.
\S{faq-iutf8}{Question} After I upgraded PuTTY to 0.68, I can no longer
connect to my embedded device or appliance.
If your SSH server has started unexpectedly closing SSH connections
after you enter your password, and it worked before 0.68, you may have
a buggy server that objects to certain SSH protocol extensions.
The SSH protocol recently gained a new \q{terminal mode}, \cw{IUTF8},
which PuTTY sends by default; see \k{config-ttymodes}. This is the
first new terminal mode since the SSH-2 protocol was defined. While
servers are supposed to ignore modes they don't know about, some buggy
servers will unceremoniously close the connection if they see anything
they don't recognise. SSH servers in embedded devices, network
appliances, and the like seem to disproportionately have this bug.
If you think you have such a server, from 0.69 onwards you can disable
sending of the \cw{IUTF8} mode: on the SSH / TTY panel, select
\cw{IUTF8} on the list, select \q{Nothing}, and press \q{Set}. (It's
not possible to disable sending this mode in 0.68.)
