Support for GCM ciphers for SSH/(S)FTP connections - edtFTPj/PRO

Question

Is there any plans/timeline as to when will GCM ciphers going to be supported for SSH connections? 

I am checking the documentation for SSHFTPAlgorithm

We have a couple of clients who are being required by their vendors to connect via SSH and use GCM ciphers, particularly aes128-gcm@openssh.com and aes256-gcm@openssh.com.

Thank you.

We've got a prerelease ready if you'd like to try it out. It will be released by next week.
