Should only affect users who manually call ``prefetch``. Thanks to ``@stevevanhooser`` for catch & patch. +* :feature:`394` Replace PyCrypto with the Python Cryptographic Authority + (PyCA) 'Cryptography' library suite. This improves security, installability, + and performance; adds PyPy support; and much more. + + There aren't enough ways to thank Alex Gaynor for all of his work on this, + and then his patience while the maintainer let his PR grow moss for a year + and change. Paul Kehrer came in with an assist, and I think I saw Olle + Lundberg, ``@techtonik`` and ``@johnthagen`` supplying backup as well. Thanks + to all! + + .. warning:: + **This is a backwards incompatible change.** + + However, **it should only affect installation** requirements; **no API + changes are intended or expected**. Please report any such breakages as + bugs. + + See our updated :doc:`installation docs <installing>` for details on what + is now required to install Paramiko; many/most users should be able to + simply ``pip install -U paramiko`` (especially if you **upgrade to pip + 8**). + * :bug:`577` (via :issue:`578`; should also fix :issue:`718`, :issue:`560`) Fix stalled/hung SFTP downloads by cleaning up some threading lock issues. Thanks to Stephen C. Pope for the patch. |
