 Releases
 ========
 
-v1.11.0 (DD MM YYYY)
---------------------
+v1.10.3 (20th Sep 2013)
+-----------------------
 
-* #98: On Windows, when interacting with the PuTTY PAgeant, Paramiko now
-  creates the shared memory map with explicit Security Attributes of the user,
-  which is the same technique employed by the canonical PuTTY library to avoid
-  permissions issues when Paramiko is running under a different UAC context
-  than the PuTTY Ageant process. Thanks to Jason R. Coombs for the patch.
-* #100: Remove use of PyWin32 in `win_pageant` module. Module was already
-  dependent on ctypes for constructing appropriate structures and had ctypes
-  implementations of all functionality. Thanks to Jason R. Coombs for the
-  patch.
-* #87: Ensure updates to `known_hosts` files account for any updates to said
-  files after Paramiko initially read them. (Includes related fix to guard
-  against duplicate entries during subsequent `known_hosts` loads.) Thanks to
-  `@sunweaver` for the contribution.
+* #162: Clean up HMAC module import to avoid deadlocks in certain uses of
+  SSHClient. Thanks to Gernot Hillier for the catch & suggested
+  fix.
+* #36: Fix the port-forwarding demo to avoid file descriptor errors. Thanks to
+  Jonathan Halcrow for catch & patch.

-* #153, #67: Warn on parse failure when reading known_hosts
-  file. Thanks to `@glasserc` for patch.
