 out for:
 * sockets in 2.2 don't support timeouts, so the 'select' module is imported
   to do polling.  this may not work on windows.  (works fine on osx.)
-* there is no logging, period.
-you really should upgrade to python 2.3.  laziness is no excuse!
+* logging is mostly stubbed out.  it works just enough to let paramiko create

+  backport python 2.3's logging package.  Roger has done that already:

+highlights of what's new in each release:
+
+v0.9 FEAROW

+* Transport added global_request() [client] and check_global_request() [server]
+* Transport.get_remove_server_key() now returns a PKey object instead of a
+  tuple of strings
+* Transport.get_username() -- return the username you auth'd as [client]
+* Transport.set_keepalive() -- makes paramiko send periodic junk packets to the
