C-Kermit 11正式发布，这是该文件传输协议软件自2011年以来的首个新版本。[1]这次更新由开发者John Goerzen主导，在Open Kermit项目的协调下进行现代化改进，新增了IPv6支持、多项安全修复以及近2000个测试用例，支持Linux、macOS、FreeBSD、NetBSD和OpenBSD等多个平台。[1]
此次发布特别献给长期参与Kermit项目的Frank da Cruz，他自1981年起直接投入该项目已有44年时间，已于2025年退休。[1]C-Kermit在2011年由哥伦比亚大学以BSD许可证开源发布后，本次新版本标志着这一经典软件的重要更新。[1]
C-Kermit 11 has been released, marking the first new version of the file transfer protocol software in 15 years [1]. The update, which follows the previous full release of version 9.0.302 in 2011, was developed by John Goerzen under the coordination of the Open Kermit project and introduces significant modernization improvements to the decades-old software [1].
The new release incorporates nearly 2,000 test cases alongside multiple security enhancements and adds IPv6 support to expand compatibility with contemporary networking standards [1]. Version 11 is now available across multiple platforms including Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD [1]. The release was dedicated to Frank da Cruz, who directly participated in the Kermit project for 44 years beginning in 1981 and retired in 2025 [1].
C-Kermit was open-sourced by Columbia University in 2011 under a BSD license, enabling the broader community to contribute to its ongoing development [1].
