## PuTTY

For decades, PuTTY has been the go-to tool for professional Windows users
creating SSH connections. PuTTY was first released in 1999 by Simon Tatham
and has resisted the taboo of nonzero major versions for over 25 years.
PuTTY's journey has been nothing short of legendary.

Much like the tool itself, PuTTY's versioning approach is efficient,
lightweight, robust, and focused on functionality rather than marketing optics

version numbers to make a major impact.
