* :support:`792 (1.17+)` Minor updates to the README and demos; thanks to Alan
Yee.
+* :feature:`780 (1.18+)` (also :issue:`779`, and may help users affected by
+ :issue:`520`) Add an optional ``timeout`` parameter to
+ `Transport.start_client <paramiko.transport.Transport.start_client>` (and
+ feed it the value of the configured connection timeout when used within
+ `SSHClient <paramiko.client.SSHClient>`.) This helps prevent situations where
+ network connectivity isn't timing out, but the remote server is otherwise
+ unable to service the connection in a timely manner. Credit to
+ ``@sanseihappa``.
* :bug:`789` Add a missing ``.closed`` attribute (plus ``._closed`` because
reasons) to `ProxyCommand <paramiko.proxy.ProxyCommand>` so the earlier

signature. Caught by ``@Score_Under``.
* :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 (1.18+)` 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.)
