- :feature:`1643` (also :issue:`1925`, :issue:`1644`, :issue:`1326`) Add
support for SHA-2 variants of RSA key verification algorithms (as described
in :rfc:`8332`) as well as limited SSH extension negotiation (:rfc:`8308`).

+ .. warning::
+ This change is slightly backwards incompatible, insofar as action is
+ required if your target systems do not support either RSA2 or the
+ ``server-sig-algs`` protocol extension.
+
+ Specifically, you need to specify ``disabled_algorithms={'keys':
+ ['rsa-sha2-256', 'rsa-sha2-512']}`` in either `SSHClient
+ <paramiko.client.SSHClient.__init__>` or `Transport
+ <paramiko.transport.Transport.__init__>`. See below for details on why.
+
How SSH servers/clients decide when and how to use this functionality can be
complicated; Paramiko's support is as follows:
