* :bug:`681` Fix a Python3-specific bug re: the handling of read buffers when
using ``ProxyCommand``. Thanks to Paul Kapp for catch & patch.
+* :feature:`398` Add an ``environment`` dict argument to `Client.exec_command
+ <paramiko.client.SSHClient.exec_command>` (plus the lower level
+ `Channel.update_environment <paramiko.channel.Channel.update_environment>`
+ and `Channel.set_environment_variable
+ <paramiko.channel.Channel.set_environment_variable>` methods) which
+ implements the ``env`` SSH message type. This means the remote shell
+ environment can be set without the use of ``VARNAME=value`` shell tricks,
+ provided the server's ``AcceptEnv`` lists the variables you need to set.
+ Thanks to Philip Lorenz for the pull request.
* :support:`819 backported (>=1.15,<2.0)` Document how lacking ``gmp`` headers
at install time can cause a significant performance hit if you build PyCrypto
from source. (Most system-distributed packages already have this enabled.)
