Add KiTTY version to "PuTTY_KiTTY"

Hi Cyd,

Hope you are well.
I often browse our server SSH logs to check which SSH Client Software our users are using.
PuTTY SSH gets advertised as PuTTY_Release_0.69, PuTTY_Release_0.66, PuTTY_Release_0.62 etc (This indicates the version of PuTTY being used).
With KiTTY, the version is not advertised to the SSH Daemon, only "PuTTY_KiTTY"

2017-11-23T11:35:02+03:00 Sulley sshd[25269]: [ID 800047 auth.debug] debug1: Client protocol version 2.0; client software version PuTTY_Release_0.69
2017-11-23T09:28:13+03:00 Sulley sshd[6075]: [ID 800047 auth.debug] debug1: Client protocol version 2.0; client software version PuTTY_Release_0.67

Would it be possible for you to add the version to "PuTTY_KiTTY" as well in future releases? It would look like this with the version: "PuTTY_KiTTY_0.70.0.1"

Thanks
Daniel

I feel it's easy, right?

Add these lines to your %APPDATA%/KiTTY/kitty.ini configuration file:
[KiTTY]
sshversion=PuTTY_KiTTY_0.70.0.1

Hi Cyd,

But when the KiTTY version is upgraded?

Why not support something like this?

[KiTTY]
sshversion=KiTTY_%KITTY_VER%

And then, the result will be: KiTTY_PuTTY_0.70.0.1
