New and Noteworthy 5.10

EGit

SSH

The Apache MINA sshd client that is used by default now supports the ProxyJump directive in the SSH configuration file ~/.ssh/config. This is useful to access git repositories behind a bastion server or jump host. The configuration must be done in the ~/.ssh/config SSH configuration file; there is no UI for this.

Other Changes

EGit 5.10 includes some less noticeable improvements in the UI, plus a number of bug fixes. The complete list of new features and bug fixes is available in the release notes.
