libssh2 - SSH2 library
======================
libssh2 is a library implementing the SSH2 protocol
Version
------------
added the following functions for non-blocking operations:
libssh2_channel_readnb_ex()
libssh2_channel_writenb_ex()
libssh2_sftp_readnb()
libssh2_sftp_writenb()
added (a few) man pages in docs/
maximum SSH packet size is now some 35000 bytes
private include files are now in src/ and only public headers are in include/
automake and libtool are being used (increased portability)
fixed OpenSSL detection using pkg-config
simple self test added to tests/
Libgcrypt can now be used instead of OpenSSL if you specify --with-libgcrypt
Version 0.14
------------
Plug leaks in EVP cipher init/shutdown. (Selcuk Gueney)
Allow socket_fd == 0 in libssh2_session_startup(). (puudeli)
Swap ordering of packet_add/packet-inspection to avoid inspect after free. (Selcuk)
Swap KEX_INIT ordering, send our KEX_INIT first.
Add check for oportunistic KEX_INIT packets. Burn bad guess if necessary.
Fix OpenSSL detection using pkg-config. (Dan Casey)
Version 0.13
------------
Fixed channel not being marked closed when CHANNEL_CLOSE package cannot be sent. (David Robins)
Fixed payload packet allocation bug when invalid packet length received. (David Robins)
Fixed `make install' target for MacOSX.
Add terminating NULL character to readlink()/realpath() results.
BugFix#1436593: Apply build options for HPUX targets.
Version 0.12
------------
Added support for publickey subsytem (not the same as publickey auth).
Fix x11_req. Multiple packet_len issues and error handling logic.
(Thanks Simon Hart)
Fix generation of 'e' portion of Diffie-Hellman keyset.
Use appropriate order for BN_rand() rather than fixed group1-specific value.
Re-fixed libssh2_sftp_rename_ex()
Transport had right packet_len, but sftp layer still had extra 4 bytes.
Fixed build with newer OpenSSL headers.
Added extern "C" declarations to libssh2_sftp.h for C++ compatability.
Version 0.11
------------
Added libssh2_chnnale_get_exit_status() -- Mikhail
Added libssh2_channel_wait_closed() -- Mikhail
Added libssh2_userauth_keyboard_interactive_ex() -- Mikhail
Added libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust() to be able to increase the size of the receive window.
Added queueing for small window_adjust packets to avoid unnecessary packet conversation.
Fixed libssh2_sftp_rename_ex() to only send flags parameter if version >= 5 negotiated
(not currently possible, but will be and might as well keep the API consistent).
Version 0.10
------------
Added developer debugging hooks. See --enable-debug-* options to ./configure
Ignore extended data in the SFTP layer. With no other mechanism to deal with that data it'd just fill up and get stuck.
(Re)Fixed channel_write() to provide an opportunity for window space to become available again.
(Re)Fixed SFTP INIT to send the correct SFTP packet length.
Fixed segfault when client and host can't agree on a hostkey/crypt/mac/comp method. (Thanks puudeli)
Fixed major issue with sftp packet buffering mechanism. Using wrong blocking semantics. (No puudeli, YOU the man)
Reduced busy-looping of libssh2_sftp_packet_requirev.
Version 0.9
-----------
Changed blocking_read to only block as much as necessary and not an arbitrary length of time. (Thanks Felix)
Fixed SFTP INIT/VERSION to exclude request_id and send correct maximum version number.
Fixed SFTP to be properly BC with version 1 and 2 servers.
Fixed libssh2_poll() to recognized closed sessions/channels.
Fixed libssh2_channel_write_ex() to fully block when set to blocking mode. Return actual bytes written as well. (Thanks deadem)
Added tests for -lm and -lsocket and add them when necessary.
Added libssh2_channel_window_read_ex() and libssh2_channel_window_write_ex()
for examining the ssh transport windowing states.
Version 0.8
-----------
Fix potential segfault in compression/decompression.
Fix compatability with older versions of OpenSSL
Swapped order of none,zlib compression modes to prefer no compression by default.
Added sys/uio.h for platforms (FBSD) which need it in order to define struct iovec.
Added libssh2_poll() to check status of sockets/channels/listeners.
Removed unnecessary inclusion of stdio.h (holdover from debugging)
Version 0.7
-----------
Added libssh2_userauth_hostbased_fromfile_ex() for authenticating from hostkey.
Added configure recognition for MacOSX (Darwin) (Thanks Gabe)
Fixed extended data identification in libssh2_channel_read().
Fixed window adjust code. Hadn't acknowledged adjustments correctly.
Removed initial_window_size requirement for sending window adjust packet.
Version 0.6
-----------
Added LIBSSH2_FLAG_SIGPIPE to enable/disable SIGPIPE generated by send()/recv() calls. Default off.
Added libssh2_session_flag() to set optional session flags.
Collapsed exchanging_keys/newkeys/authenticated flags into single state attribute.
Fix zlib compression issue when internal buffer state misses partial sync.
Fix segfault when libssh2_session_methods() is called prior to session_startup().
Fixed client to server channel windowing. Pervent send queue overruns.
Swapped banner send/receive order (send first, then wait for response).
Version 0.5
-----------
*** BC Break ***
Reimplemented libssh2_session_methods() to match libssh2_session_method_pref() style
Fixed libssh2_attr2bin() (effects any setstat style call).
Fixed authenticating with encrypted private key.
Fixed authenticating via ssh-dss public key.
Fixed KEX_INIT cookie and packet padding to use actual random data
Added DESTDIR support to makefiles (Adam Go<47><6F>biowski -- I hope that character set translates right)
Added libssh2_channel_forward_listen_ex(), libssh2_channel_forward_cancel(), and libssh2_channel_forward_accept().
Added ./configure option '--disable-gex-new' to allow using the older group-exchange format
Added MAC methods hmac-md5 and hmac-md5-96.
Version 0.4
-----------
Fixed crash when trying to free sftp_dirhandle data from a filehandle struct.
Fixed leak in sftp_open_ex(), handle->handle not freed in handle_close().
Fixed leak in sftp_symlink_ex(), result for READLINK and REALPATH not freed unless there was an error.
Added libssh2_banner_set(), specify an arbitrary banner to send on introduction.
Version 0.3
-----------
Fixed libssh2_channel_read_ex(). Packet loop initialized BEFORE transport polled for new packets (should have been after).
Fixed blocking issues in scp_send()/scp_recv().
Fixed degree of indirection in macerror callback.
Changed packet read mechanism to use a fixed buffer and avoid unnecessary alloc/free calls. (especially while non-block looping)
Added channel close callback.
Added SFTP support (Using its own header file: libssh2_sftp.h)
Version 0.2
-----------
Changed extended data ignorance mechanism:
libssh2_channel_ignore_extended_data() changed to libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data()
Macro introduced for backward compatability during beta phase.
*** THE LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_IGNORE_EXTENDED_DATA() MACRO WILL BE REMOVED PRIOR TO 1.0 RELEASE ***
libssh2_channel_handle_extended_data() may be passed one of three "ignore_mode" constants
LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_NONE Default behavior, queue ED packets and return them with read_ex
LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_IGNORE Equivalent to libssh2_channel_ignore_extended_data()
IGNORE will implicitly flush the extended data stream(s)
LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_EXTENDED_DATA_MERGE Calls to channel_read() will check both the standard data stream
and the extended data stream(s) for the first available packet
Changed libssh2_session_disconnect_ex() to return an error code when alloc fails
Added libssh2_channel_flush_ex() and basic macros: ..._flush() ..._flush_stderr()
flush_ex accepts either the streamid (0 for standard data, 1 for stderr) or one of the two following constants:
LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_ALL Flush all streams
LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_EXTENDED_DATA Flush all streams EXCEPT the standard data stream
Added libssh2_session_callback_set() for setting ignore/debug/disconnect/macerror callbacks
Added libssh2_session_method_pref() to selectively set methods and method preferences.
Added libssh2_session_methods() to determine what methods were negotiated.
Added libssh2_session_abstract() for retreiving &session->abstract
Added libssh2_session_last_error() for retreiving error codes/messages
