Update libssh2 version to 1.11.0

[ionutbaltariu]

@pkittenis libssh2 1.11 was released today. Could you also update ssh2-python?

[pkittenis]

Pending release of new libssh2 version.

1.10.0 is still the latest version, and that is what is in the repository. This project tracks official releases, not master branch of libssh2.

[ionutbaltariu]

I understand. However, could you provide some steps to manually update the libssh2 version for the project?
I imagine that I could clone the master branch of libssh2 and just do some setup steps to reinstall ssh2-python.

[pkittenis]

Sure, building with system/self provided libssh2 is documented here.

I have tried to use the documented instructions in order to install ssh2-python with a self-built libssh2 from the latest version on their github repository.

However, it just seems it is not a really trivial task. Does installing under Windows also require installing OpenSSL? While trying to install I get the following error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libcrypto64MD.lib'

[ionutbaltariu]

This is the way I've built libssh2 on Windows:

mkdir dll
cd dll
cmake -DCRYPTO_BACKEND=WinCNG -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ..
cmake --build . --target install

Then I've used python .\setup.py build_ext -I C:\libssh2\dll\src\ -L C:\libssh2\dll\src\Debug (Debug is where I found the dll/lib files). I'm really feeling like doing things without actually knowing what they trully mean. Could you help me in this issue?

@pkittenis as an update, libssh2 release is slated for May 30 2023 according to this thread.

Any updates as to when a fix for ssh2-python will be ready?
