This updates the minimum version requirement for OpenSSL in the documentation to 1.0.1 and also updates the practical minimum CMake version. Why pick 1.0.1 as the minimum? Main reason is whatever is still out there with long term support contracts etc. One of the oldest I could find is Ubuntu 14.04 which still has paid extended support and is on 1.0.1. Another reason that 1.0.1 is probably a good minimum is a bit more involved. 1.0.1 is the first version to add TLS 1.2. Large parts of the internet have TLS 1.2 as a minimum requirement. This means that systems with OpenSSL older than 1.0.1 already can't access large parts of the internet anyway, so not supporting the latest libssh there either is ok I think. Bumping minimum support also means things like the HMAC API can be moved to the more recent EVP style APIs and things can be more easily made compatible with the deprecated APIs in OpenSSL 3.0.

The SSH library
Why?
Why not ? :) I've began to work on my own implementation of the ssh protocol because i didn't like the currently public ones. Not any allowed you to import and use the functions as a powerful library, and so i worked on a library-based SSH implementation which was non-existing in the free and open source software world.
How/Who?
If you downloaded this file, you must know what it is : a library for accessing ssh client services through C libraries calls in a simple manner. Everybody can use this software under the terms of the LGPL - see the COPYING file
If you ask yourself how to compile libssh, please read INSTALL before anything.
Where ?

Have fun and happy libssh hacking!
