Thanks to Github user `@enB` for - the catch. -* #85: Paramiko's test suite overrides - `unittest.TestCase.assertTrue/assertFalse` to provide these modern assertions - to Python 2.2/2.3, which lacked them. However on newer Pythons such as 2.7, - this now causes deprecation warnings. The overrides have been patched to only - execute when necessary. Thanks to `@Arfrever` for catch & patch. - - -v1.8.0 (3rd Oct 2012) ---------------------- - -* #17 ('ssh' 28): Fix spurious `NoneType has no attribute 'error'` and similar - exceptions that crop up on interpreter exit. -* 'ssh' 32: Raise a more useful error explaining which `known_hosts` key line was - problematic, when encountering `binascii` issues decoding known host keys. - Thanks to `@thomasvs` for catch & patch. -* 'ssh' 33: Bring `ssh_config` parsing more in line with OpenSSH spec, re: order of - setting overrides by `Host` specifiers. Specifically, the overrides now go by - file order instead of automatically sorting by `Host` value length. In - addition, the first value found per config key (e.g. `Port`, `User` etc) - wins, instead of the last. Thanks to Jan Brauer for the contribution. -* 'ssh' 36: Support new server two-factor authentication option - (`RequiredAuthentications2`), at least re: combining key-based & password - auth. Thanks to Github user `bninja`. -* 'ssh' 11: When raising an exception for hosts not listed in - `known_hosts` (when `RejectPolicy` is in effect) the exception message was - confusing/vague. This has been improved somewhat. Thanks to Cal Leeming for - highlighting the issue. -* 'ssh' 40: Fixed up & expanded EINTR signal handling. Thanks to Douglas Turk. -* 'ssh' 15: Implemented parameter substitution in SSHConfig, matching the - implementation of `ssh_config(5)`. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the patch. -* 'ssh' 24: Switch some internal type checking to use `isinstance` to help prevent - problems with client libraries using subclasses of builtin types. Thanks to - Alex Morega for the patch. -* Fabric #562: Agent forwarding would error out (with `Authentication response - too long`) or freeze, when more than one remote connection to the local agent - was active at the same time. This has been fixed. Thanks to Steven McDonald - for assisting in troubleshooting/patching, and to GitHub user `@lynxis` for - providing the final version of the patch. -* 'ssh' 5: Moved a `fcntl` import closer to where it's used to help avoid - `ImportError` problems on Windows platforms. Thanks to Jason Coombs for the - catch + suggested fix. -* 'ssh' 4: Updated implementation of WinPageant integration to work on 64-bit - Windows. Thanks again to Jason Coombs for the patch. -* Added an IO loop sleep() call to avoid needless CPU usage when agent - forwarding is in use. -* Handful of internal tweaks to version number storage. -* Updated `setup.py` with `==dev` install URL for `pip` users. -* Updated `setup.py` to account for packaging problems in PyCrypto 2.4.0 -* Added an extra `atfork()` call to help prevent spurious RNG errors when - running under high parallel (multiprocess) load. -* Merge PR #28: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/28 which adds a - ssh-keygen like demo module. (Sofian Brabez) - -v1.7.7.2 16may12 ----------------- - * Merge pull request #63: https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/pull/63 which - fixes exceptions that occur when re-keying over fast connections.
