|
|
Transport
|
|

|
|
|
|
v0.9 (ivysaur) 22oct04
|
|
----------------------

|
* renamed SFTP -> SFTPClient (but left an alias for existing code)
|
|
* added SFTPClient.normalize() to resolve paths on the server

|
* better checking of maximum packet sizes
|
|

|
|
* Transport added global_request() [client] and check_global_request()

|

to the remote host, to keep the session active
|
|
* python 2.2 support (thanks to Roger Binns)
|
|
