News for the 1.0.5 release

	Some reorganization of signature algorithms, to support
	spki-style signatures (including rsa) properly.
	
	New algorithms bulk encryption algorithms: serpent and
	rijndael. Rijndael implementation and lsh glue code
	contributed by Rafael R. Sevilla. Serpent implementation by
	Ross Anderson, Eli Biham, and Lars Knudsen.

	Renamed lsh_keygen and lsh_writekey to lsh-keygen and
	lsh-writekey, respectively (actually happened in 1.0.4, but I
	forgot to mention that).
	
News for the 1.0.4 release

	Fixed yet another bug in the userauth logic.

	Some RSA support (so far, only lsh-keygen and lsh-writekey
	support RSA). 408 hours left...

	Support for the transport spki format in sexp_parser.c.

News for the 1.0.3 release

	Fixed bug in client userauth logic.

	Configure fix: put -L and -R flags in LDFLAGS, not LIBS.

	Portability fixes and some signed/unsigned cleanup.
	
News for the 1.0.2 release

	Fixed bug in lsh_writekey, and improved the error message when
	the outputfile already exists.

	Fixed bug in the poll emulation in jpoll.c (noticed by
	Jean-Pierre Stierlin).

	Portability bugs reported by Jean-Pierre Stierlin, for
	compiling on MacOS.
	
News for the 1.0.1 release

	Various bug fixes. Spelling and grammar fixes in the manual,
	contributed by Johan Myreen.
	Hacked lsh user authentication to stop asking for a password
	if the empty password is entered twice.

News for the 0.9.15 release

	Portability fixes. Fixed 32-bit bug in the memory allocation
	that appeared on alpha-linux. Fixes for HPUX compiler. Fixed
	make distclean, which failed when cleaning in src/symmetric.

News for the 0.9.14 release

	Added --stdin, --stdout and --stderr options to lsh.
	
	Implemented pretty-printing of s-expressions when using the
	advanced syntax.

	OpenSSH/ssh2 keys to sexp format.

	Updated SRP support to the draft doc/srp-spec.txt.
	Made it possible to skip the userauth sub-protocol when using
	SRP. The proxy program was probably broken in the process.
	
	Fixed lsh-authorize, to use the right options to sexp_conv.

	Let $HOME override the home directory in the passwd database,
	when running as non-root.
	
News for the 0.9.10 release

News for the 0.2.7 release

	Bug fixes for compialtion on Solaris.

News for the 0.2.6 release

	Bugfixes for tcp forwarding functions.

	Some more tests for testsuite. To try them, you must first
	setup lsh so that you can login with no password. Then type
	"make check-more" in the testsuite subdirectory. 
	
News for the 0.2.5 release

	Bugfixes.

	Lots of bugfixes. Reading of ~/.lsh/known_hosts and
	~/.lsh/identity seems to work.

	New contrib sub-directory.
	
News for the lsh-0.1.18 release

	lsh now reads ACL:s from the ~/.lsh/known_hosts file.

	First attempt at a m4-based testsuite. It depends on m4 being
	able to handle the eight-bit quote characters » and «. If your
	m4 doesn't do that, get the latest beta of GNU m4 or recompile
	GNU m4-1.4 with CFLAGS=-funsigned-char.

News for the lsh-0.1.17 release

	More support for host authentication and SPKI.

	First version that includes Bazsi's work on an ssh-proxy (i.e.
	a program that implements the traditional Man-in-the-middle
	attack on the ssh2 protocol). Could be useful for people
	running firewalls, and also for those of us who want to point
	out that it's a bad idea to use unauthenticated hostkeys.

News for the lsh-0.1.16 release

	Some preparations for real host authentication.
	
News for the lsh-0.1.15 release

	Support for publickey user authentication.

	A new script lsh-authorize.

News for the lsh-0.1.14 release

	First try on daemonization support.

	Better tracing; try --trace to get some more information than
	with -v, but without all the boring information generated by
	--debug.

	Generally nicer options and help mesasges, thanks to argp.

	Better handling of i/o exceptions. lshd should no longer crash
	when connections behave unexpectedly.

News for the lsh-0.1.12 release

	Tried to fix bugs related to channel close. In the process,
	improved the resource mechanism, and let each channel
	have it's own list of resources.

	Fixed configure.in to handle systems with neither scsh or
	guile installed.
	

News for the lsh-0.1.11 release

	Support for other scheme implementations in the build process,
	in particular guile.
	

News for the lsh-0.1.10 release

	Fixed bug in sexp parser and lsh_writekey.

	Merged more of bazsis patches.
	

News for the lsh-0.1.9 release

	Lot's of bug fixes. This version actually seems to work.

	Bazsi's public key patches is in, although I haven't been able
	to test them.

	The SEXP parser is rewritten to use the new exception
	framework. The program that makes the most of of this right
	now is lsh_writekey. Its core reads like

     (params
       (private object io_write_file_info)
       (public object io_write_file_info))
     
     (lambda (backend)
       (let ((key (read (stdin backend))))
         (prog1 (transport (open backend public) (private2public key))
                ; FIXME: Add encryption here
                (canonical (open backend private) key))))))
	
	The sexptest program has been renamed to sexp_conv. It reads
	an sexp (for now, only canonical and transport syntax are
	supported) on stdin, and prints it using advanced, transport
	or canonical syntax. More features could be added.

	The --debug option now dumps both sent and received packets,
	and it includes a human readable name of the packet type.
	Packets of type SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST are suppressed,
	however, because they typically contains user passwords.

	There is one known bug: Running without pty allocation (lsh
	-nt) doesn't work, at least not for me.

	
News for the lsh-0.1.8 release

	Reworked all the error handling to use exceptions. No new
	features, but lots of new bugs.

There are no official releases numbered 0.1.4 -- 0.1.7. However,
these version numbers are used for Bazsi's unofficial releases during
the summer. The unofficial releases feature public key user
authentication and better compatibility with Datafellow's ssh2
products. 

News for the lsh-0.1.3 release

	Local forwarding (-L) works. -R is slightly broken.

News for the lsh-0.1.2 release

	First user visible tcpforwarding (-L option). Not tested
	yet...

	Fixed flow control.

	DSA signatures should conform better both to the draft andd to
	the ssh-2.x implementations.

	Better handling of POLLHUP.
	
News for the lsh-0.1 release

	Added compiler.scm to the dist.

	Changed the session key generation to comply with the latest
	draft (pointed out by Joseph Galbraith).

	Added IDEA support (Bazsi).

	Fixes to pty handling and flow control (mostly Bazsi). 

	Fixed the client side handling of userauth failures.

	By default, if we are running with a pty, use the same fd for
	stdout and stderr. This workaround should make lsh more
	friendly to bash and other programs that expect stderr to be a
	tty.

NEWS for the 1999-04-25 snapshot:

	Fixed a few bugs in pty and eof handling. Should now work
	about as well as the 03-17 snapshot. Also removed most old

	Added a generic doubly linked list, currently used by the
	write_buffer and resource_list classes, but which will be
	needed for more things (see the CONTROL item on the TODO
        list).

Support for md5 (by Balázs Scheidler).

Various bugfixes.


NEWS since the 1998-12-11 snapshot:

A resource mechanism (resource.[ch]) used by the server to cleanup

Generic code for chaining ciphers (crypto_cbc()) and piping them
together (crypto_cascade()).

Some untested support for blowfish and 3DES. A -c command line option
is needed.
