Boo,

A new version of PuTTY IPv6 has seen the daylight.
Get it at: http://unfix.org/projects/ipv6/

In short, the cool new stuff that now also works:
 - IPv6 tunneling.
 - X Forwarding over IPv6.
 - Issues.
 - much more...

Greets,
 Jeroen

>From the PuTTY IPv6 changelog, which will be in the CVS soon(tm):
8<--------------
 * IPv6 patch 5 (25 April 2002) Jeroen Massar <jeroen@unfix.org>
 *  - patch against CVS of yesterday, submitted as a 'cvs diff -u'.
 *  - removed some 'old' debug statements.
 *  - commented away ':' removal in window.c, which breaks direct IPv6
(eg 3ffe:8114::1) addressing.
 *    We should find a neater workaround, common is to use
[3ffe:8114::1]:22 (3ffe:8114::1 port 22).
 *  - IPv6 tunnels work, including X forwarding.
 *  - Added address to string conversion for IPv6 addresses.
 *  - sk_newlistener() now sports an address_family argument.
 *    PuTTY should give along the current connected IP version here.
 *    Note that if we want to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 we need to do
two (2) sk_newlistener()'s
 *    One for each protocol: sk_newlistener(..., AF_INET);
sk_newlistener(..., AF_INET6);
 *  - IPv6 builds (including tools) can be found on
http://unfix.org/projects/ipv6/
 *    They work on IPv4-only, IPv6-only and IPv4&IPv6 dualstacked hosts.
