- terminate connections against libssh2 clients because libssh2 did
- not respond properly to the request. By Simon Josefsson.
-
-Version 1.2.2 (November 16, 2009)
-
-* This release includes the following changes:
-
- o Fix crash when server sends an invalid SSH_MSG_IGNORE message.
- Reported by Bob Alexander <balexander@expressor-software.com> in
- <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.ssh.libssh2.devel/2530>.
- By Simon Josefsson.
-

- preferred ciphers. By Simon Josefsson.
-
- o Support for the "arcfour128" cipher as per RFC 4345 for libgcrypt
- and OpenSSL. It is preferred over the normal "arcfour" cipher
- which is somewhat broken. By Simon Josefsson.

-
- ... and the following bugfixes:
-
- o proper return codes returned from several functions
- o return EAGAIN internal cleanup
- o added knownhost.c to windows makefiles
- o pass private-key to OpenSSL as a filename with BIO_new_file().
- o make libssh2_scp_send/recv do blocking mode correctly
- o libssh2_channel_wait_closed() could hang
- o libssh2_channel_read_ex() must return 0 when closed
- o added gettimeofday() function for win32 for the debug trace outputs
- o transport layer bug causing invalid -39 (LIBSSH2_ERROR_BAD_USE) errors
- o scp examples now loop correctly over libssh2_channel_write()
-
-* (August 29 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- - I fixed all code to use the recently added dedicated linked list functions
- instead of doing the same stuff spread out all over.
-
- - I also fixed a few cases where local variables where used to keep memory
- but was used to keep state for re-invokes due to non-blocking situations
- which would lead to segfaults.
-
-Version 1.2 (August 10, 2009)
------------------------------
-
-* (August 02 2009) Alexander Lamaison:
-
- - changed _libssh2_rsa_new_private and _libssh2_rsa_new_private so that they
- no longer use the OpenSSL functions that take a FILE* argument. Passing
- CRT-created objects across a DLL boundary causes crashes on Windows of the
- DLL and the client aren't linked to the exact same verison of the CRT. Now
- we pass the keys as strings to avoid this issue.
-
-* (May 29 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- - Updated the knownhost API and there are now 9 functions, and all of them
- have man pages. The libssh2.h now defines HAVE_LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_API to
- ease things for applications to check for the correct release before trying
- to use it.
-
-* (May 23 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- - Anonymous bug report #2795816 revealed that doing subsequent
- libssh2_sftp_init() calls on the same session failed.
-
-* (May 20 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- - made libssh2_sftp_write() properly deal with huge/any sized input buffers.
-
- - fixed libssh2_channel_write_ex() to return the correct return code, and
- deal with sending off huge buffers better
-
-* (May 7 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- - linked list code. I got a bit tired of the fact that we don't have any
- generic linked-list functions within libssh2 so I wrote up the first embryo
- for one that I use for this new functionality. The plan would then be to
- move all existing code that uses linked lists to use this new set.
-
- - base64 encode. I had to add a base64 encoding function which was missing
- in the code base so it helps to "bloat" my patch.
-
- - The knownhost API is currently:
-
- _init() - init a bundle of known hosts
- _add() - add a known host
- _del() - delete a known host
- _free() - free an entire bundle of known hosts
- _check() - check if a host+key is present in the bundle
-
- The convenience function:
-
- _parsefile() - reads a ~/.ssh/known_hosts file and add all entries to the
- given bundle
-
- - there's no docs other than some comments in the code/headers yet
-
- - the patch includes changes to example/simple/ssh2_exec.c that makes use of
- a few of these functions. Using that I've verified that the functions in
- fact can verify my localhost's key agains my ~/.ssh/known_hosts file
-
-* (Apr 30 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- Markus posted a bug report about a bad 0-return from libssh2_channel_read:
- http://libssh2.haxx.se/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2009-04/0076.shtml
-
- And it was indeed a bad loop that terminated too early due to a receveived
- close packet.
-
-* (Apr 14 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- libssh2_poll() and libssh2_poll_channel_read() are now considered and
- documented deprecated and they will be removed at next soname bump. It also
- saves us from fixing some rather quirky bugs in libssh2_poll()...
-
-
-Version 1.1 (April 2, 2009)
----------------------------
-
-- (Mar 28 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- Jean-Louis Charton found a memory leak in
- libssh2_userauth_hostbased_fromfile_ex()
-
-- (Mar 25 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- * Renamed the functions in src/transport.c to be _libssh2_transport_ prefixed
- and introduced a transport.h header.
-
- * Fixed the blocking mode to only change behavior not the actual underlying
- socket mode so we now always work with non-blocking sockets. This also
- introduces a new rule of thumb in libssh2 code: we don't call the
- external function calls internally. We use the internal (non-blocking)
- ones!
-
- * libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust2 was added and
- libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust is now deprecated
-
- * Introduced "local" header files with prototypes etc for different parts
- instead of cramming everything into libssh2_priv.h. channel.h is the
- first.
-
-- (Mar 19 2009) Daniel Stenberg: based on a patch by "E L" we now use errno
- properly after recv() and send() calls (that internally are now known as
- _libssh2_recv() and _libssh2_send()) so that the API and more works fine on
- windows too!
-
-- (Mar 17 2009) Simon Josefsson:
-
- Added a Libtool -export-symbols-regex flag to reduce the number of
- exported symbols in shared libraries. Reported by Mikhail Gusarov.
-
-- (Mar 16 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- I renamed a few man pages to match the exact name of the functions they
- describe. I also added template versions for the 13 functions that
- previously lacked man pages. While these don't contain any docs just yet, it
- will now be easier to add the info as the foundation is there!
-
-- (Mar 15 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
-
- * libssh2_channel_read_ex() was simplified and enhanced. It now adjusts the
- window less frequent and uses much larger window that now allows MUCH
- faster transfers.
-
- * SCP send/recv now allow file names with whitespaces etc, thanks to a patch
- by Heiner Steven
-
-- (Mar 13 2009) Daniel Stenberg: Cleanups, that do seem to have boosted SFTP
- download performance up to 300% in some tests:
-
- * cut off "_ex" from several internal function names
-
- * corrected some log outputs
-
- * simplified libssh2_channel_read_ex() and made it much faster in the process
-
- * cut out {{{ and }}} comments that were incorrect anyway
-
- * fixed sftp_packet_ask() to return the correct packet by using memcmp() and
- not strncmp()
-
- * fixed mkdir()'s wait for packet to use the correct request_id - it
- semi-worked previously because strncmp() in sftp_packet_ask() made it
- match far too easily.
-
- * took away the polling functionality from sftp_packet_ask() since it wasn't
- used
-
-- (Mar 7 2009) Olivier Hervieu pointed out a flaw in the
- libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex() function that made it produce a crappy random
- chunk of data. Peter Stuge improved the fix to not do out-of-boundary
- writes. I (Daniel Stenberg) replaced the snprintf() with a plain sprintf()
- since the size argument wasn't adding anything anyway.
-
-- (Feb 23 2009) Added libssh2_version()
-
-- (Feb 20 2009) libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip_ex() bug #1902169 fixed, which
- caused it to fail when called a second time.
-
-- (Feb 12 2009) Romain Bondue extended Markus Moeller fix from Feb 8, based on
- a previous (uncommitted) patch by Erik Brossler. It improves
- libssh2_channel_write_ex in blocking situations when the socket is set non-
- blocking.
-
-- (Feb 8 2009) Markus Moeller fixed a flaw in libssh2_channel_write_ex() that
- would occur on EAGAIN situations.
-
-Version 1.0 (December 26 2008)
-------------------------------
-
-- (Dec 20 2008) Based on Alexander Lamaison's patch, there's now a new
- function called libssh2_sftp_tell64() that returns the 64 bit file offset,
- as the existing libssh2_sftp_tell() only returns a size_t.
-
-- (Dec 18 2008) Markus Moeller fixed the issue also reported by Alexander
- Lamaison which caused SFTP reads with large buffers to fail.
-
-- Several flaws were fixed that prevented at least SFTP to work reliably
-
-- Vlad Grachov brought the new function called
- libssh2_session_block_directions() which returns a bitmask for what
- directions the connection blocks. It is to be used applications that use
- non-blocking sockets and when a libssh2 function returns
- LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN this function can be used to figure out in which
- direction the socket would block and thus it can wait for the socket to
- again be ready for communication in that direction before it calls libssh2
- again.
-
-- Vincent Jaulin brought the new libssh2_channel_request_pty_size_ex()
- function.
-
-- Carlo Bramini fixed the build for msys+mingw. Bug #1943976.
-
-- Neil Gierman provided improved Visual Studio 2008 code in bug #1946268
-
-- Bug #1862727 fixed libssh2_poll() to work on windows (by defining
- HAVE_SELECT).
-
-- Based on bug #1815692, we introduce libssh2_sftp_seek64() that allows
- seeking beyond the 2GB margin even on 32bit machines.
-
-- Based on a patch in bug #1878059 by Steven Ayre libssh2 now parses >2GB file
- sizes when downloading SCP files.
-
-- Bug #2064371 pointed out that the SSH2 banner may not use dash
- ('-'). Reported by Bjorn Stenborg.
-
-- Sean Peterson fixed a key re-exchange bug:
- http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/libssh2/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2008-06/0002.shtml
-
-- Mike Protts filed the bug report #1908724 that identified and fixed a problem
- with SFTP stat on files >4GB in size. Previously it used 32bit math only.
-
-- Removed a stderr debug message that was accidentally left in (bug #1863153)
-
-- OpenSSL and libz detection changed to make cross-compiling to Mingw
- work. See README for parameters to use if the auto-detection does
- not work for you. From Simon Josefsson.
-
-- Simon Josefsson added a self-test that uses libssh2 to connect to a
- local sshd (only enabled if if OpenSSH is installed).
-
-Version 0.18 (November 11 2007)
--------------------------------
-
-- Various changes that improve non-blocking operations and prevent stalls.
- Especially noticable on Windows since libssh2 just didn't work properly
- non-blocking on Windows before.
-
-- Peter O'Gorman reported how a SCP transfer would hang for him, and it was
- fairly easy reproducable. One bug was in the transport layer, ignoring to
- read more data while there was data left even though it couldn't decrypt the
- data that was left due to it being too little... The other bug was in the
- channel layer, where the libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust() function
- missed to set the state variables at times and thus this function would
- misbehave on repeated invokes.
-
-- Changed the signature of libssh2_channel_setenv_ex to add const to the
- "varname" parameter (Dan Fandrich)
-
-- Satish Mittal and David J Sullivan fixed an infinit recv() loop in
- libssh2_banner_receive()
-

- Added libssh2_poll() to check status of sockets/channels/listeners.
-
- Removed unnecessary inclusion of stdio.h (holdover from debugging)
-
-Version 0.7
------------
-
- Added libssh2_userauth_hostbased_fromfile_ex() for authenticating from hostkey.
-
- Added configure recognition for MacOSX (Darwin) (Thanks Gabe)
-
- Fixed extended data identification in libssh2_channel_read().
-
- Fixed window adjust code. Hadn't acknowledged adjustments correctly.
-
- Removed initial_window_size requirement for sending window adjust packet.
-
-
-Version 0.6
------------
-
- Added LIBSSH2_FLAG_SIGPIPE to enable/disable SIGPIPE generated by
- send()/recv() calls. Default off.
-
- Added libssh2_session_flag() to set optional session flags.
-
- Collapsed exchanging_keys/newkeys/authenticated flags into single state
- attribute.
-
- Fix zlib compression issue when internal buffer state misses partial sync.
-
- Fix segfault when libssh2_session_methods() is called prior to
- session_startup().
-
- Fixed client to server channel windowing. Pervent send queue overruns.
-
- Swapped banner send/receive order (send first, then wait for response).
-
-Version 0.5
------------
-
- *** BC Break ***
- Reimplemented libssh2_session_methods() to match
- libssh2_session_method_pref() style
-
- Fixed libssh2_attr2bin() (effects any setstat style call).
-
- Fixed authenticating with encrypted private key.
-
- Fixed authenticating via ssh-dss public key.
-
- Fixed KEX_INIT cookie and packet padding to use actual random data
-
- Added DESTDIR support to makefiles (Adam Go³êbiowski -- I hope that
- character set translates right)
-
- Added libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex(), libssh2_channel_forward_cancel(),
- and libssh2_channel_forward_accept().
-
- Added ./configure option '--disable-gex-new' to allow using the older
- group-exchange format
-
- Added MAC methods hmac-md5 and hmac-md5-96.
-
-Version 0.4
------------
-
- Fixed crash when trying to free sftp_dirhandle data from a filehandle struct.
-
- Fixed leak in sftp_open_ex(), handle->handle not freed in handle_close().
-
- Fixed leak in sftp_symlink_ex(), result for READLINK and REALPATH not freed unless there was an error.
-
- Added libssh2_banner_set(), specify an arbitrary banner to send on introduction.
-
-Version 0.3
------------
-
- Fixed libssh2_channel_read_ex(). Packet loop initialized BEFORE transport polled for new packets (should have been after).
-
- Fixed blocking issues in scp_send()/scp_recv().
-
- Fixed degree of indirection in macerror callback.
-
- Changed packet read mechanism to use a fixed buffer and avoid unnecessary alloc/free calls. (especially while non-block looping)
-
- Added channel close callback.
-
- Added SFTP support (Using its own header file: libssh2_sftp.h)
-
-Version 0.2
------------
-
- Changed extended data ignorance mechanism:
- libssh2_channel_ignore_extended_data() changed to libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data()
- Macro introduced for backward compatability during beta phase.
- *** THE LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_IGNORE_EXTENDED_DATA() MACRO WILL BE REMOVED PRIOR TO 1.0 RELEASE ***
- libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data() may be passed one of three "ignore_mode" constants
- LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_NONE Default behavior, queue ED packets and return them with read_ex
- LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_IGNORE Equivalent to libssh2_channel_ignore_extended_data()
- IGNORE will implicitly flush the extended data stream(s)
- LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_MERGE Calls to channel_read() will check both the standard data stream
- and the extended data stream(s) for the first available packet
-
- Changed libssh2_session_disconnect_ex() to return an error code when alloc fails
-
- Added libssh2_channel_flush_ex() and basic macros: ..._flush() ..._flush_stderr()
- flush_ex accepts either the streamid (0 for standard data, 1 for stderr) or one of the two following constants:
- LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_ALL Flush all streams
- LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_EXTENDED_DATA Flush all streams EXCEPT the standard data stream
-
- Added libssh2_session_callback_set() for setting ignore/debug/disconnect/macerror callbacks
-
- Added libssh2_session_method_pref() to selectively set methods and method preferences.
-
- Added libssh2_session_methods() to determine what methods were negotiated.
-
- Added libssh2_session_abstract() for retreiving &session->abstract
-
- Added libssh2_session_last_error() for retreiving error codes/messages
-
-Version 0.1
------------
-
- Initial Release:
- KEX methods: diffie-hellman-group14-sha1, diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1, diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
- Hostkey methods: ssh-rsa, ssh-dss
- Cipher methods: aes256-cbc, rijndael-cbc@lysator.liu.se, aes192-cbc, aes128-cbc, blowfish-cbc, arcfour, cast128-cbc, 3des-cbc, none*
- Compression methods: zlib, none
