Yes we explicitly test against all of the 3.x branches including 3.6
(that's the "ubuntu-latest openssl-3.6" entry).  We also test
against a
number of releases.

Since the recent ABI issue with OpenSSL 3.5.3, we also now test a shared
library upgrade without recompiling OpenSSH: OpenSSL releases are upgraded
to the next release, the most recent release in a given branch is upgraded
to the tip of that branch, and the 3.x branches are upgraded to the next
3.x branch.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Hi,

Do you have a pointer for me (asking for OpenVPN) what "that ABI
issue"
was?  Maybe we need to test for it as well...

thanks
