* :bug:`142` (`Fabric #811 <https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/811>`_)
  SFTP put of empty file will still return the attributes of the put file.
  Thanks to Jason R. Coombs for the patch.
* :bug:`154` (`Fabric #876 <https://github.com/fabric/fabric/issues/876>`_)
  Forwarded SSH agent connections left stale local pipes lying around, which
  could cause local (and sometimes remote or network) resource starvation when
  running many agent-using remote commands. Thanks to Kevin Tegtmeier for catch
  & patch.
* :release:`1.10.0 <2013-03-01>`
* :feature:`66` Batch SFTP writes to help speed up file transfers. Thanks to
  Olle Lundberg for the patch.
* :bug:`133 major` Fix handling of window-change events to be on-spec and not
  attempt to wait for a response from the remote sshd; this fixes problems with
  less common targets such as some Cisco devices. Thanks to Phillip Heller for
  catch & patch.
* :feature:`93` Overhaul SSH config parsing to be in line with ``man
  ssh_config`` (& the behavior of ``ssh`` itself), including addition of parameter
  expansion within config values. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the patch.
* :feature:`110` Honor SSH config ``AddressFamily`` setting when looking up
  local host's FQDN. Thanks to John Hensley for the patch.

  files.  Thanks to Parantapa Bhattacharya for catch & patch.
* :bug:`102 major` Forego random padding for packets when running under
  ``*-ctr`` ciphers.  This corrects some slowdowns on platforms where random
  byte generation is inefficient (e.g. Windows). Thanks to  ``@warthog618`` for
  catch & patch, and Michael van der Kolff for code/technique review.
* :feature:`127` Turn ``SFTPFile`` into a context manager. Thanks to Michael
  Williamson for the patch.
* :feature:`116` Limit ``Message.get_bytes`` to an upper bound of 1MB to protect
  against potential DoS vectors. Thanks to ``@mvschaik`` for catch & patch.
* :feature:`115` Add convenience ``get_pty`` kwarg to ``Client.exec_command`` so
  users not manually controlling a channel object can still toggle PTY
  creation. Thanks to Michael van der Kolff for the patch.
* :feature:`71` Add ``SFTPClient.putfo`` and ``.getfo`` methods to allow direct
  uploading/downloading of file-like objects. Thanks to Eric Buehl for the
  patch.
* :feature:`113` Add ``timeout`` parameter to ``SSHClient.exec_command`` for
  easier setting of the command's internal channel object's timeout. Thanks to
  Cernov Vladimir for the patch.
* :support:`94` Remove duplication of SSH port constant. Thanks to Olle
  Lundberg for the catch.
* :feature:`80` Expose the internal "is closed" property of the file transfer
  class ``BufferedFile`` as ``.closed``, better conforming to Python's file
  interface.  Thanks to ``@smunaut`` and James Hiscock for catch & patch.
