========= Changelog ========= * :release:`1.15.1 <2014-09-22>` * :bug:`399` SSH agent forwarding (potentially other functionality as well) would hang due to incorrect values passed into the new window size arguments for `.Transport` (thanks to a botched merge). This has been corrected. Thanks to Dylan Thacker-Smith for the report & patch. * :release:`1.15.0 <2014-09-18>` * :support:`393` Replace internal use of PyCrypto's ``SHA.new`` with the stdlib's ``hashlib.sha1``. Thanks to Alex Gaynor. * :feature:`267` (also :issue:`250`, :issue:`241`, :issue:`228`) Add GSS-API / SSPI (e.g. Kerberos) key exchange and authentication support (:ref:`installation docs here `). Mega thanks to Sebastian Deiß, with assist by Torsten Landschoff. .. note:: Unix users should be aware that the ``python-gssapi`` library (a requirement for using this functionality) only appears to support Python 2.7 and up at this time. * :bug:`346 major` Fix an issue in private key files' encryption salts that could cause tracebacks and file corruption if keys were re-encrypted. Credit to Xavier Nunn. * :feature:`362` Allow users to control the SSH banner timeout. Thanks to Cory Benfield. * :feature:`372` Update default window & packet sizes to more closely adhere to the pertinent RFC; also expose these settings in the public API so they may be overridden by client code. This should address some general speed issues such as :issue:`175`. Big thanks to Olle Lundberg for the update. * :bug:`373 major` Attempt to fix a handful of issues (such as :issue:`354`) related to infinite loops and threading deadlocks. Thanks to Olle Lundberg as well as a handful of community members who provided advice & feedback via IRC. * :support:`374` (also :issue:`375`) Old code cleanup courtesy of Olle Lundberg. * :support:`377` Factor `~paramiko.channel.Channel` openness sanity check into a decorator. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for original patch. * :bug:`298 major` Don't perform point validation on ECDSA keys in ``known_hosts`` files, since a) this can cause significant slowdown when such keys exist, and b) ``known_hosts`` files are implicitly trustworthy. Thanks to Kieran Spear for catch & patch. .. note:: This change bumps up the version requirement for the ``ecdsa`` library to ``0.11``. * :bug:`234 major` Lower logging levels for a few overly-noisy log messages about secure channels. Thanks to David Pursehouse for noticing & contributing the fix. * :feature:`218` Add support for ECDSA private keys on the client side. Thanks to ``@aszlig`` for the patch. * :bug:`335 major` Fix ECDSA key generation (generation of brand new ECDSA keys was broken previously). Thanks to ``@solarw`` for catch & patch. * :feature:`184` Support quoted values in SSH config file parsing. Credit to Yan Kalchevskiy. * :feature:`131` Add a `~paramiko.sftp_client.SFTPClient.listdir_iter` method to `~paramiko.sftp_client.SFTPClient` allowing for more efficient, async/generator based file listings. Thanks to John Begeman. * :support:`378 backported` Minor code cleanup in the SSH config module courtesy of Olle Lundberg. * :support:`249` Consolidate version information into one spot. Thanks to Gabi Davar for the reminder. * :release:`1.14.1 <2014-08-25>` * :release:`1.13.2 <2014-08-25>` * :bug:`376` Be less aggressive about expanding variables in ``ssh_config`` files, which results in a speedup of SSH config parsing. Credit to Olle Lundberg. * :support:`324 backported` A bevvy of documentation typo fixes, courtesy of Roy Wellington. * :bug:`312` `paramiko.transport.Transport` had a bug in its ``__repr__`` which surfaces during errors encountered within its ``__init__``, causing problematic tracebacks in such situations. Thanks to Simon Percivall for catch & patch. * :bug:`272` Fix a bug where ``known_hosts`` parsing hashed the input hostname as well as the hostnames from the ``known_hosts`` file, on every comparison. Thanks to ``@sigmunau`` for final patch and ``@ostacey`` for the original report. * :bug:`239` Add Windows-style CRLF support to SSH config file parsing. Props to Christopher Swenson. * :support:`229 backported` Fix a couple of incorrectly-copied docstrings' ``.. versionadded::`` RST directives. Thanks to Aarni Koskela for the catch. * :support:`169 backported` Minor refactor of `paramiko.sftp_client.SFTPClient.put` thanks to Abhinav Upadhyay. * :bug:`285` (also :issue:`352`) Update our Python 3 ``b()`` compatibility shim to handle ``buffer`` objects correctly; this fixes a frequently reported issue affecting many users, including users of the ``bzr`` software suite. Thanks to ``@basictheprogram`` for the initial report, Jelmer Vernooij for the fix and Andrew Starr-Bochicchio & Jeremy T. Bouse (among others) for discussion & feedback. * :support:`371` Add Travis support & docs update for Python 3.4. Thanks to Olle Lundberg. * :release:`1.14.0 <2014-05-07>` * :release:`1.13.1 <2014-05-07>` * :release:`1.12.4 <2014-05-07>` * :release:`1.11.6 <2014-05-07>` * :bug:`-` `paramiko.file.BufferedFile.read` incorrectly returned text strings after the Python 3 migration, despite bytes being more appropriate for file contents (which may be binary or of an unknown encoding.) This has been addressed. .. note:: `paramiko.file.BufferedFile.readline` continues to return strings, not bytes, as "lines" only make sense for textual data. It assumes UTF-8 by default. This should fix `this issue raised on the Obnam mailing list `_. Thanks to Antoine Brenner for the patch. * :bug:`-` Added self.args for exception classes. Used for unpickling. Related to (`Fabric #986 `_, `Fabric #714 `_). Thanks to Alex Plugaru. * :bug:`-` Fix logging error in sftp_client for filenames containing the '%' character. Thanks to Antoine Brenner. * :bug:`308` Fix regression in dsskey.py that caused sporadic signature verification failures. Thanks to Chris Rose. * :support:`299` Use deterministic signatures for ECDSA keys for improved security. Thanks to Alex Gaynor. * :support:`297` Replace PyCrypto's ``Random`` with `os.urandom` for improved speed and security. Thanks again to Alex. * :support:`295` Swap out a bunch of PyCrypto hash functions with use of `hashlib`. Thanks to Alex Gaynor. * :support:`290` (also :issue:`292`) Add support for building universal (Python 2+3 compatible) wheel files during the release process. Courtesy of Alex Gaynor. * :support:`284` Add Python language trove identifiers to ``setup.py``. Thanks to Alex Gaynor for catch & patch. * :bug:`235` Improve string type testing in a handful of spots (e.g. ``s/if type(x) is str/if isinstance(x, basestring)/g``.) Thanks to ``@ksamuel`` for the report. * :release:`1.13.0 <2014-03-13>` * :release:`1.12.3 <2014-03-13>` * :release:`1.11.5 <2014-03-13>` * :release:`1.10.7 <2014-03-13>` * :feature:`16` **Python 3 support!** Our test suite passes under Python 3, and it (& Fabric's test suite) continues to pass under Python 2. **Python 2.5 is no longer supported with this change!** The merged code was built on many contributors' efforts, both code & feedback. In no particular order, we thank Daniel Goertzen, Ivan Kolodyazhny, Tomi Pieviläinen, Jason R. Coombs, Jan N. Schulze, ``@Lazik``, Dorian Pula, Scott Maxwell, Tshepang Lekhonkhobe, Aaron Meurer, and Dave Halter. * :support:`256 backported` Convert API documentation to Sphinx, yielding a new API docs website to replace the old Epydoc one. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the initial conversion work. * :bug:`-` Use constant-time hash comparison operations where possible, to protect against `timing-based attacks `_. Thanks to Alex Gaynor for the patch. * :release:`1.12.2 <2014-02-14>` * :release:`1.11.4 <2014-02-14>` * :release:`1.10.6 <2014-02-14>` * :feature:`58` Allow client code to access the stored SSH server banner via `Transport.get_banner `. Thanks to ``@Jhoanor`` for the patch. * :bug:`252` (`Fabric #1020 `_) Enhanced the implementation of ``ProxyCommand`` to avoid a deadlock/hang condition that frequently occurs at ``Transport`` shutdown time. Thanks to Mateusz Kobos, Matthijs van der Vleuten and Guillaume Zitta for the original reports and to Marius Gedminas for helping test nontrivial use cases. * :bug:`268` Fix some missed renames of ``ProxyCommand`` related error classes. Thanks to Marius Gedminas for catch & patch. * :bug:`34` (PR :issue:`35`) Fix SFTP prefetching incompatibility with some SFTP servers regarding request/response ordering. Thanks to Richard Kettlewell. * :bug:`193` (and its attentant PRs :issue:`230` & :issue:`253`) Fix SSH agent problems present on Windows. Thanks to David Hobbs for initial report and to Aarni Koskela & Olle Lundberg for the patches. * :release:`1.12.1 <2014-01-08>` * :release:`1.11.3 <2014-01-08>` * :release:`1.10.5 <2014-01-08>` * :bug:`225 (1.12+)` Note ecdsa requirement in README. Thanks to Amaury Rodriguez for the catch. * :bug:`176` Fix AttributeError bugs in known_hosts file (re)loading. Thanks to Nathan Scowcroft for the patch & Martin Blumenstingl for the initial test case. * :release:`1.12.0 <2013-09-27>` * :release:`1.11.2 <2013-09-27>` * :release:`1.10.4 <2013-09-27>` * :feature:`152` Add tentative support for ECDSA keys. **This adds the ecdsa module as a new dependency of Paramiko.** The module is available at `warner/python-ecdsa on Github `_ and `ecdsa on PyPI `_. * Note that you might still run into problems with key negotiation -- Paramiko picks the first key that the server offers, which might not be what you have in your known_hosts file. * Mega thanks to Ethan Glasser-Camp for the patch. * :feature:`136` Add server-side support for the SSH protocol's 'env' command. Thanks to Benjamin Pollack for the patch. * :bug:`156 (1.11+)` Fix potential deadlock condition when using Channel objects as sockets (e.g. when using SSH gatewaying). Thanks to Steven Noonan and Frank Arnold for catch & patch. * :bug:`179` Fix a missing variable causing errors when an ssh_config file has a non-default AddressFamily set. Thanks to Ed Marshall & Tomaz Muraus for catch & patch. * :bug:`200` Fix an exception-causing typo in ``demo_simple.py``. Thanks to Alex Buchanan for catch & Dave Foster for patch. * :bug:`199` Typo fix in the license header cross-project. Thanks to Armin Ronacher for catch & patch. * :release:`1.11.1 <2013-09-20>` * :release:`1.10.3 <2013-09-20>` * :bug:`162` Clean up HMAC module import to avoid deadlocks in certain uses of SSHClient. Thanks to Gernot Hillier for the catch & suggested fix. * :bug:`36` Fix the port-forwarding demo to avoid file descriptor errors. Thanks to Jonathan Halcrow for catch & patch. * :bug:`168` Update config handling to properly handle multiple 'localforward' and 'remoteforward' keys. Thanks to Emre Yılmaz for the patch. * :release:`1.11.0 <2013-07-26>` * :release:`1.10.2 <2013-07-26>` * :bug:`98 major` On Windows, when interacting with the PuTTY PAgeant, Paramiko now creates the shared memory map with explicit Security Attributes of the user, which is the same technique employed by the canonical PuTTY library to avoid permissions issues when Paramiko is running under a different UAC context than the PuTTY Ageant process. Thanks to Jason R. Coombs for the patch. * :support:`100` Remove use of PyWin32 in ``win_pageant`` module. Module was already dependent on ctypes for constructing appropriate structures and had ctypes implementations of all functionality. Thanks to Jason R. Coombs for the patch. * :bug:`87 major` Ensure updates to ``known_hosts`` files account for any updates to said files after Paramiko initially read them. (Includes related fix to guard against duplicate entries during subsequent ``known_hosts`` loads.) Thanks to ``@sunweaver`` for the contribution. * :bug:`153` (also :issue:`67`) Warn on parse failure when reading known_hosts file. Thanks to ``@glasserc`` for patch. * :bug:`146` Indentation fixes for readability. Thanks to Abhinav Upadhyay for catch & patch. * :release:`1.10.1 <2013-04-05>` * :bug:`142` (`Fabric #811 `_) SFTP put of empty file will still return the attributes of the put file. Thanks to Jason R. Coombs for the patch. * :bug:`154` (`Fabric #876 `_) Forwarded SSH agent connections left stale local pipes lying around, which could cause local (and sometimes remote or network) resource starvation when running many agent-using remote commands. Thanks to Kevin Tegtmeier for catch & patch. * :release:`1.10.0 <2013-03-01>` * :feature:`66` Batch SFTP writes to help speed up file transfers. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the patch. * :bug:`133 major` Fix handling of window-change events to be on-spec and not attempt to wait for a response from the remote sshd; this fixes problems with less common targets such as some Cisco devices. Thanks to Phillip Heller for catch & patch. * :feature:`93` Overhaul SSH config parsing to be in line with ``man ssh_config`` (& the behavior of ``ssh`` itself), including addition of parameter expansion within config values. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the patch. * :feature:`110` Honor SSH config ``AddressFamily`` setting when looking up local host's FQDN. Thanks to John Hensley for the patch. * :feature:`128` Defer FQDN resolution until needed, when parsing SSH config files. Thanks to Parantapa Bhattacharya for catch & patch. * :bug:`102 major` Forego random padding for packets when running under ``*-ctr`` ciphers. This corrects some slowdowns on platforms where random byte generation is inefficient (e.g. Windows). Thanks to ``@warthog618`` for catch & patch, and Michael van der Kolff for code/technique review. * :feature:`127` Turn ``SFTPFile`` into a context manager. Thanks to Michael Williamson for the patch. * :feature:`116` Limit ``Message.get_bytes`` to an upper bound of 1MB to protect against potential DoS vectors. Thanks to ``@mvschaik`` for catch & patch. * :feature:`115` Add convenience ``get_pty`` kwarg to ``Client.exec_command`` so users not manually controlling a channel object can still toggle PTY creation. Thanks to Michael van der Kolff for the patch. * :feature:`71` Add ``SFTPClient.putfo`` and ``.getfo`` methods to allow direct uploading/downloading of file-like objects. Thanks to Eric Buehl for the patch. * :feature:`113` Add ``timeout`` parameter to ``SSHClient.exec_command`` for easier setting of the command's internal channel object's timeout. Thanks to Cernov Vladimir for the patch. * :support:`94` Remove duplication of SSH port constant. Thanks to Olle Lundberg for the catch. * :feature:`80` Expose the internal "is closed" property of the file transfer class ``BufferedFile`` as ``.closed``, better conforming to Python's file interface. Thanks to ``@smunaut`` and James Hiscock for catch & patch.
