I have just released 1.2pre14 at:

http://violet.ibs.com.au/openssh/

Changes:

Attempt to make <enter> close gnome-ssh-askpass. This works OK 
when gnome-ssh-askpass is run from the commandline, but doesn't 
work when it is run from ssh-add. Further investigation is 
required.

Lots of portability fixes. The ssh client now appears to run on 
Solaris. openssh should now also compile on Slackware linux and
systems with older PAM libraries.

Lots more OpenBSD CVS merges. These fix the segfault in ssh-keygen,
among other things.
