There are only two consumers in pkgsrc; one of them (remmina and remmina-plugins) actually needed library version 0.4 or later, and didn't build the ssh/sftp/nx plugins without.

Fixed a free crash bug in options parsing. and for completeness 0.5.3: This is an important SECURITY and maintenance release in order to address CVE-2012-4559, CVE-2012-4560, CVE-2012-4561 and CVE-2012-4562. CVE-2012-4559 - Fix multiple double free() flaws CVE-2012-4560 - Fix multiple buffer overflow flaws CVE-2012-4561 - Fix multiple invalid free() flaws CVE-2012-4562 - Fix multiple improper overflow checks (...)

SSH implementation by the mean of a library. The complete control of the client is made by the programmer. With libssh, you can remotely execute programs, transfer files, use a secure and transparent tunnel for your remote programs. With its Secure FTP implementation, you can play with remote files easily, without third-party programs others than libcrypto (from openssl).
