    not sure if i should add this as an alternative in itself, so for the moment i'll just add it in the comments :)

    "Since PuTTY author Simon Tantham recently released an updated version of PuTTY (version 0.61) with some significant changes, I decided to adapt PuTTY Tray’s functionality to the new 0.61 codebase, hence the new moniker — PuTTY Tray: Redux."
