Releases
========
v1.8.1 (DD MM YYYY)
-------------------
* #90: Ensure that callbacks handed to `SFTPClient.get()` always fire at least
once, even for zero-length files downloaded. Thanks to Github user `@enB` for
the catch.
* #85: Paramiko's test suite overrides
`unittest.TestCase.assertTrue/assertFalse` to provide these modern assertions
to Python 2.2/2.3, which lacked them. However on newer Pythons such as 2.7,
this now causes deprecation warnings. The overrides have been patched to only
execute when necessary. Thanks to `@Arfrever` for catch & patch.
v1.8.0 (3rd Oct 2012)
---------------------
* 'ssh' 32: Raise a more useful error explaining which `known_hosts` key line was
problematic, when encountering `binascii` issues decoding known host keys.
Thanks to `@thomasvs` for catch & patch.
* 'ssh' 33: Bring `ssh_config` parsing more in line with OpenSSH spec, re: order of
setting overrides by `Host` specifiers. Specifically, the overrides now go by
file order instead of automatically sorting by `Host` value length. In
addition, the first value found per config key (e.g. `Port`, `User` etc)
wins, instead of the last. Thanks to Jan Brauer for the contribution.
* 'ssh' 36: Support new server two-factor authentication option
(`RequiredAuthentications2`), at least re: combining key-based & password
auth. Thanks to Github user `bninja`.
* 'ssh' 11: When raising an exception for hosts not listed in
`known_hosts` (when `RejectPolicy` is in effect) the exception message was
confusing/vague. This has been improved somewhat. Thanks to Cal Leeming for
highlighting the issue.
* 'ssh' 40: Fixed up & expanded EINTR signal handling. Thanks to Douglas Turk.
* 'ssh' 15: Implemented parameter substitution in SSHConfig, matching the
implementation of `ssh_config(5)`. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the patch.
* 'ssh' 24: Switch some internal type checking to use `isinstance` to help prevent
problems with client libraries using subclasses of builtin types. Thanks to
Alex Morega for the patch.
* Fabric #562: Agent forwarding would error out (with `Authentication response
too long`) or freeze, when more than one remote connection to the local agent
was active at the same time. This has been fixed. Thanks to Steven McDonald
for assisting in troubleshooting/patching, and to GitHub user `@lynxis` for
providing the final version of the patch.
* 'ssh' 5: Moved a `fcntl` import closer to where it's used to help avoid
`ImportError` problems on Windows platforms. Thanks to Jason Coombs for the
catch + suggested fix.
* 'ssh' 4: Updated implementation of WinPageant integration to work on 64-bit
Windows. Thanks again to Jason Coombs for the patch.
* Added an IO loop sleep() call to avoid needless CPU usage when agent
forwarding is in use.
* Handful of internal tweaks to version number storage.
* Updated `setup.py` with `==dev` install URL for `pip` users.
* Updated `setup.py` to account for packaging problems in PyCrypto 2.4.0
* Added an extra `atfork()` call to help prevent spurious RNG errors when
running under high parallel (multiprocess) load.
* Merge PR #28: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/28 which adds a
ssh-keygen like demo module. (Sofian Brabez)

attributes in one call
