Raw Blame History

- (Mar 15 2009) Daniel Stenberg:
* libssh2_channel_read_ex() was simplified and enhanced. It now adjusts the
window less frequent and uses much larger window that now allows MUCH
faster transfers.
* SCP send/recv now allow file names with whitespaces etc, thanks to a patch
by Heiner Steven
- (Mar 13 2009) Daniel Stenberg: Cleanups, that do seem to have boosted SFTP
download performance up to 300% in some tests:
* cut off "_ex" from several internal function names
* corrected some log outputs
* simplified libssh2_channel_read_ex() and made it much faster in the process
* cut out {{{ and }}} comments that were incorrect anyway
* fixed sftp_packet_ask() to return the correct packet by using memcmp() and
not strncmp()
* fixed mkdir()'s wait for packet to use the correct request_id - it
semi-worked previously because strncmp() in sftp_packet_ask() made it
match far too easily.
* took away the polling functionality from sftp_packet_ask() since it wasn't
used
- (Mar 7 2009) Olivier Hervieu pointed out a flaw in the
libssh2_channel_x11_req_ex() function that made it produce a crappy random
chunk of data. Peter Stuge improved the fix to not do out-of-boundary
writes. I (Daniel Stenberg) replaced the snprintf() with a plain sprintf()
since the size argument wasn't adding anything anyway.
- (Feb 23 2009) Added libssh2_version()
- (Feb 20 2009) libssh2_channel_direct_tcpip_ex() bug #1902169 fixed, which
caused it to fail when called a second time.
- (Feb 12 2009) Romain Bondue extended Markus Moeller fix from Feb 8, based on
a previous (uncommitted) patch by Erik Brossler. It improves
libssh2_channel_write_ex in blocking situations when the socket is set non-
blocking.
- (Feb 8 2009) Markus Moeller fixed a flaw in libssh2_channel_write_ex() that
would occur on EAGAIN situations.
Version 1.0 (December 26 2008)
------------------------------
- (Dec 20 2008) Based on Alexander Lamaison's patch, there's now a new
function called libssh2_sftp_tell64() that returns the 64 bit file offset,
as the existing libssh2_sftp_tell() only returns a size_t.
- (Dec 18 2008) Markus Moeller fixed the issue also reported by Alexander
Lamaison which caused SFTP reads with large buffers to fail.
- Several flaws were fixed that prevented at least SFTP to work reliably
- Vlad Grachov brought the new function called
libssh2_session_block_directions() which returns a bitmask for what
directions the connection blocks. It is to be used applications that use
non-blocking sockets and when a libssh2 function returns
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN this function can be used to figure out in which
direction the socket would block and thus it can wait for the socket to
again be ready for communication in that direction before it calls libssh2
again.
- Vincent Jaulin brought the new libssh2_channel_request_pty_size_ex()
function.
- Carlo Bramini fixed the build for msys+mingw. Bug #1943976.
- Neil Gierman provided improved Visual Studio 2008 code in bug #1946268
- Bug #1862727 fixed libssh2_poll() to work on windows (by defining
HAVE_SELECT).
- Based on bug #1815692, we introduce libssh2_sftp_seek64() that allows
seeking beyond the 2GB margin even on 32bit machines.
- Based on a patch in bug #1878059 by Steven Ayre libssh2 now parses >2GB file
sizes when downloading SCP files.
- Bug #2064371 pointed out that the SSH2 banner may not use dash
('-'). Reported by Bjorn Stenborg.
- Sean Peterson fixed a key re-exchange bug:
http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/libssh2/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2008-06/0002.shtml
- Mike Protts filed the bug report #1908724 that identified and fixed a problem
with SFTP stat on files >4GB in size. Previously it used 32bit math only.
- Removed a stderr debug message that was accidentally left in (bug #1863153)
- OpenSSL and libz detection changed to make cross-compiling to Mingw
work. See README for parameters to use if the auto-detection does
not work for you. From Simon Josefsson.
- Simon Josefsson added a self-test that uses libssh2 to connect to a
local sshd (only enabled if if OpenSSH is installed).
Version 0.18 (November 11 2007)
-------------------------------
- Various changes that improve non-blocking operations and prevent stalls.
Especially noticable on Windows since libssh2 just didn't work properly
non-blocking on Windows before.
- Peter O'Gorman reported how a SCP transfer would hang for him, and it was
fairly easy reproducable. One bug was in the transport layer, ignoring to
read more data while there was data left even though it couldn't decrypt the
data that was left due to it being too little... The other bug was in the
channel layer, where the libssh2_channel_receive_window_adjust() function
missed to set the state variables at times and thus this function would
misbehave on repeated invokes.
- Changed the signature of libssh2_channel_setenv_ex to add const to the
"varname" parameter (Dan Fandrich)
- Satish Mittal and David J Sullivan fixed an infinit recv() loop in
libssh2_banner_receive()

This release would not have been possible without these friendly contributors:
James Housley, Simon Josefsson, Dan Fandrich, Guenter Knauf and I too did
some poking. (Sorry if I forgot anyone I should've mentioned here.)
Of course we would have nothing without the great work by Sara Golemon that
we're extending and building upon.

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.

-----------
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

libssh2_session_method_pref() style
Fixed libssh2_attr2bin() (effects any setstat style call).
Fixed authenticating with encrypted private 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.

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.

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.
