+v1.4 ODDISH
+* added SSH-agent support (for posix) from john rochester
+* added chdir() and getcwd() to SFTPClient, to emulate a "working directory"
+* added get() and put() to SFTPClient, to emulate ftp whole-file transfers
+* added check() to SFTPFile (a file hashing protocol extension)
+* fixed Channels and SFTPFiles (among others) to auto-close when GC'd
+* fixed Channel.fileno() for Windows, this time really
+* don't log socket errors as "unknown exception"
+* some misc. backward-compatible API improvements (like allowing
