 out for:
 * sockets in 2.2 don't support timeouts, so the 'select' module is imported
   to do polling.  this may not work on windows.  (works fine on osx.)
-* there is no logging, period.
-you really should upgrade to python 2.3.  laziness is no excuse!
+* logging is mostly stubbed out.  it works just enough to let paramiko create
+  log files for debugging, if you want them.  to get real logging, you can
+  backport python 2.3's logging package.  Roger has done that already:

+***  WHAT'S NEW
+
+highlights of what's new in each release:
+
+v0.9 FEAROW
+* Transport.send_ignore() -- send random ignored bytes
+* RSAKey/DSSKey added from_private_key_file() as a factory constructor;
+  write_private_key_file() & generate() to create and save ssh2 keys;
+  get_base64() to retrieve the exported public key
+* Transport added global_request() [client] and check_global_request() [server]
+* Transport.get_remove_server_key() now returns a PKey object instead of a
+  tuple of strings
+* Transport.get_username() -- return the username you auth'd as [client]
+* Transport.set_keepalive() -- makes paramiko send periodic junk packets to the
+  remote host, to keep the session active
+* python 2.2 support (thanks to Roger Binns)
+* misc. bug fixes
+
+
 ***  MISSING LINKS
 
 * ctr forms of ciphers are missing (blowfish-ctr, aes128-ctr, aes256-ctr)
