  code (thanks to Frédéric Lavernhe for the report and debugging, and Bernard
  Blackham for his suggestion on what to look at)

0.38 - Sat Oct 11 2003 16:28:13 +0800

  (without warnings)

- Be more careful handling EINTR

  Trent Lloyd <lathiat at sixlabs.org> and
  Zach White <zwhite at darkstar.frop.org>

0.37 - Wed Sept 24 2003 19:42:12 +0800

- Various portability fixes, fixes for Solaris 9, Tru64 5.1, Mac OS X 10.2,
  AIX, BSDs

- Updated LibTomMath to 0.27 and LibTomCrypt to 0.90

- Renamed util.{c,h} to dbutil.{c,h} to avoid conflicts with system util.h

- Added some small changes so it'll work with AIX (plus Linux Affinity).
  Thanks to Shig for them.

- Improved the closing messages, so a clean exit is "Exited normally"

- Added some more robust integer/size checking in buffer.c as a backstop for
  integer overflows

- X11 forwarding fixed for OSX, path for xauth changed to /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth

- Channel code handles closing more nicely, doesn't sit waiting for an extra
  keystroke on BSD/OSX platforms, and data is flushed fully before closing
  child processes (thanks to 
  Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn <cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com> for
  pointing that out).

- Changed "DISABLE_TCPFWD" to "ENABLE_TCPFWD" (and for x11/auth) so
  "disable DISABLE_TCPWD" isn't so confusing.

- Fix authorized_keys handling (don't crash on too-long keys, and
  use fgetc not getc to avoid strange macro-related issues), thanks to
  Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn <cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com> 
  and Steve Rodgers <hwstar at cox.net> for reporting and testing.

- Fixes to the README with regard to uClibc systems, thanks to 
  Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn <cristian.ionescu-idbohrn at axis.com>,
  as well as general improvements to documentation (split README/INSTALL)

- Fixed up some compilation problems with dropbearconvert/dropbearkey if
  DSS or RSA were disabled, reported by Patrik Karlsson <patrik at cqure.net>

- Fix double-free bug for hostkeys, reported by
  Vincent Sanders <vince at kyllikki.org>

- Fix up missing \ns from dropbearconvert help message,
  thanks to Mordy Ovits <movits at bloomberg.com> for the patch

0.36 - Tue August 19 2003 12:16:23 +0800

  (noticed by Davyd Madeley <davyd at zdlcomputing.com>)

  consistent etc

- Fixed some invalid assertions in the channel code, fixing the server dying
  when forwarding X11 connections.

- RSA keys now keep p and q parameters for compatibility -- old Dropbear keys
  still work, but can't be converted to OpenSSH etc.

  Grahame (grahame at angrygoats.net)
- 'install' target added to the makefile
- general tidying, improve consistency of functions etc

- Login recording (utmp/wtmp) support, so last/w/who work - taken from OpenSSH
- Shell is started as a proper login shell, so /etc/profile etc is sourced
- Ptys work on Solaris (2.8 x86 tested) now
- Fixed bug in specifying the rsa hostkey
- Fixed bug in compression code, could trigger if compression resulted in
  larger output than input (uncommon but possible).
