I don't think its really "broken" per say, but it is annoying that they changed a lot around (breaking our stuff) :/

(The very, very ugly hack of symlinking openssl 1 to openssl 0.9.8 might work, but it might also make sftp-server explode in a fiery abi mismatch ^^).
But that's good to know, it means that yet another thing will be 5.1.0 only  . |
Shockingly enough, symlinking it does actually work! I've only just tried it so I'm yet to see if there will be any crashing issues later on. I look forward to seeing progress on a proper version
