Release Name: 1.0.5

Notes:
Net:SSH
http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ssh

[1.0.5] 2 Jan 2006
  * Added connection.ping! and session.ping! for testing the connection

[1.0.4] 24 Dec 2005
  * Fixed tests broken by changes in Ruby 1.8.4.

  * Fixed references to obsolete contact email address.

[1.0.3] 9 Nov 2005
  * Fixed for windows so that connections succeed even if pageant process is
    not running.

[1.0.2] 26 Jul 2005
  * Fixed channel on_request callback signature.

  * Better thread-safety in the connection driver (fixes some "Bad packet size"
    errors in multi-threaded apps)

  * Corrected various minor bugs.

[1.0.1] 17 Jun 2005
  * Added a :timeout option on the transport session

  * Net::SSH works with the Putty Agent now

[1.0.0] 6 Feb 2005
  * Password can be programmatically specified for the 'keyboard-authentication'
    method.
  
  * All unit tests pass on Windows now.

  * Channels now respect their own local window and maximum packet sizes, and
    report reasonable values to the server. This fixes a bug that caused
    problems when large quantities of data were requested of the server and
    certain server maximums were being exceeded.

  * Client name is determined in a more robust manner.

  * Fixed hostbased bug.

  * Authentication process is now aware of the authentication methods reported
    by the server as having a chance of succeeded, and no longer attempts
    those methods that cannot possibly succeed.

[0.9.0] 11 Jan 2005
  * Added 'shell' and 'sync' services for interacting with users' shells,
    including a demo script that uses these to implement a simple SSH terminal
    client.

  * The 'keyboard-interactive' authentication method is implemented correctly
    now, which means users will receive a prompt to enter a password if one is
    not given, and is required.

  * The bug that caused the agent to always be used--even if it was
    unavailable--has been fixed.

  * The user manual now includes links to previous/next chapters, and uses
    syntax highlighting for the code blocks. Various other style tweaks in the
    manual.

  * Window sizes and maximum packet sizes are now honored, which should take
    care of various bugs and make Net::SSH play nicer with older SSH servers.

  * Non-blocking reads are now supported via the
    Transport::Session#reader_ready? method. The Connection::Driver#process
    method has been modified to make better use of this.

  * Moved to subversion, from CVS. Repository is now at
    http://www.jamisbuck.org/svn/net-ssh

[0.6.0] 2 Dec 2004
  * Added pageant support (thanks to Guillaume Marçais)

  * Added support for external services (like SFTP).

  * Use USERNAME environment variable if USER is not set (like on Windows)

[0.5.0] 23 Nov 2004
  * Refactored to use Needle.

  * Moved SFTP support into its own library.

  * Moved command-line utilities into their own library.

The new svn log is reformatted and prepended to the original CVS log (ChangeLog.cvs). 2005-02-06 15:57 jamis * Manual builder was still wrapped in the Needle module (from which it was copied). Version bumped to 1.0.0. 2005-02-01 12:20 jamis * Allow a password to be specified programatically for keyboard-interactive. This allows keyboard-interactive to be used in many cases just like 'password'. 2005-01-25 11:44 jamis * All tests (except the integration tests) pass on Windows now. Perhaps even some of the random "corrupted hmac" errors I've seen occur on occassion will be fixed now... 2005-01-25 07:54 jamis * Removed extraneous whitespace between list items. 2005-01-14 15:28 jamis * Channels now respect their own local window and maximum packet sizes, and report reasonable values to the server. This fixes a bug that caused problems when large quantities of data were requested of the server and certain server- maximums were being exceeded. 2005-01-12 10:11 jamis * hostbased bug has been (tentatively) squashed 2005-01-12 10:10 jamis * Use Socket#close instead of Socket#shutdown. Also, hostname look up is more intelligent and should never raise an exception--it will instead log an error if the hostname absolutely cannot be looked up. 2005-01-12 10:07 jamis * The authentication process is now aware of the authentication methods that the server has indicated can possibly succeed. Methods that cannot possibly succeed will no longer even be attempted. 2005-01-12 09:35 jamis * Use Socket#close instead of Socket#shutdown in the proxy unit tests. This allows the tests to pass when run in Windows. 2005-01-11 16:21 jamis * Rakefile was removing ChangeLog. Added bug with hostbased to TODO. 2005-01-11 14:38 jamis * Added a "tag" task for easier tagging off the current HEAD. 2005-01-11 14:31 jamis * Rakefile no longer tries to build the changelog. 2005-01-11 14:12 jamis * Added the ChangeLog and updated the NEWS file. 2005-01-11 14:01 jamis * Bumped version, updated NEWS, and added more feature demonstrations to the sync-shell-demo.rb script. 2005-01-11 13:46 jamis * Added syntax highlighted code blocks, and shell documentation. Also tweaked stylesheets. 2005-01-11 09:07 jamis * Simplified the shell service. The 'stdout' and 'stderr', etc. parameters to the service were not working anyway, and may be better implemented as a wrapper around the shell service, anyway. 2005-01-10 16:39 jamis * Changed copyright line and author email address. 2005-01-10 16:30 jamis * Added SyncShell subservice, reimplemented ssh-client demo, and added demos for both Shell and SyncShell. 2005-01-10 12:50 jamis * Added first pass at the shell service, and updated the ssh- client to use it. Also fixed some breakage in the popen3 test cases. 2005-01-09 14:14 jamis * Keyboard-interactive is correctly implemented now. 2005-01-09 12:17 jamis * Getting better at dealing with interactive processes. Added an ssh-client demo. 2005-01-07 13:12 minam * Name of the cvs2cl executable changed. Added more TODO's, to keep me busy with. 2005-01-04 20:49 minam * Added "host" and "options" attributes to Session (thanks to Daniel Hobe). 2005-01-04 13:17 minam * Raise an error if an attempt is made to load a file as a public key, which is not a public key. 2005-01-04 12:27 minam * If an agent wasn't running, the authentication would fail with an unhelpful error. This fix should allow authentication to proceed, even in the absense of an ssh-agent. 2004-12-01 22:12 minam * Updated NEWS file. 2004-12-01 21:26 minam * Pageant support! Fixed documentation. Bumped version to 0.6.0. Added support for external services. The USERNAME environment variable is used if USER is not set. Moved the README to the project root (for consistency with other project files). Fixed some documentation typos. 2004-11-23 13:42 minam * Forgot to include the 'examples' subdirectory in the packages. 2004-11-23 13:21 minam * Cut-and-paste errors. :( 2004-11-23 13:17 minam * Added date of this release to NEWS file. 2004-11-23 13:16 minam * Minor rakefile tweakage. 2004-11-23 13:14 minam * Added Needle as a dependency in gemspec. 2004-11-23 13:12 minam * Updated TODO (prompter impl was added) 2004-11-23 13:11 minam * Added a prompter implementation, instead of depending on ruby-password. 2004-11-23 12:43 minam * :verbose and :log options were not being removed from the options before being passed to the transport layer, which was causing the transport layer to fail. 2004-11-23 12:42 minam * Oops. :verbosity should have been :verbose. 2004-11-23 12:40 minam * Documented the :log and :verbosity options. 2004-11-23 12:37 minam * Added examples. Made it easier to customize logging in Net::SSH::Session. 2004-11-23 11:45 minam * Changed FAQ link. 2004-11-23 11:29 minam * Updated manual for new version. 2004-11-23 11:28 minam * Updated TODO list. Fixed a documentation typo in channel.rb. 2004-11-22 14:37 minam * Added :coverage goal, to run rcov on the unit tests. 2004-11-22 14:05 minam * *sigh* These shouldn't have been checked it. :( 2004-11-22 13:52 minam * Initial revision 2004-11-22 13:52 minam * Refactored the whole blame thing
