OpenSSH 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 compatible with 1.3 and 1.5 and contain
some enhancements that are sort of a 1.5+.

OpenSSH v 2.1.0 also works with 1.3, 1.5 AND 2.0 and has been
recently released. It's interesting that this is OpenSSH 1.2.2 and
I've been on OpenSSH 1.2.3 on my Linux systems for months and now
I've switched over almost entirely to 2.1.0 after a couple of months
of beta testing 2.0.
