It was created by +the developers of the [Fabric](http://fabfile.org) library as a way to ensure +timely updates and bugfixes for critical issues. + +`ssh` is currently in a transitional state and other than a rename and a +handful of small but crucial source changes, the code and the documentation +remain unchanged from the original. + +We hope to clean up the presentation and documentation in the near future, as +more bugfixes and API additions are rolled out. We also plan to absorb some of +the higher profile bugs/issues from the Paramiko Github repository as well. + +Thank you for your patience! |
