Twisted Conch 9.0.0 (2009-11-24)
================================

Fixes
-----
 - The SSH key parser has been removed and conch now uses pyASN1 to parse keys.
   This should fix a number of cases where parsing a key would fail, but it now
   requires users to have pyASN1 installed (#3391)
 - The time field on SFTP file listings should now be correct (#3503)
 - The day field on SFTP file listings should now be correct on Windows (#3503)
 - The "cftp" sftp client now truncates files it is uploading over (#2519)
 - The telnet server protocol can now properly respond to subnegotiation
   requests (#3655)
 - Tests and factoring of the SSHv2 server implementation are now much better
   (#2682)
 - The SSHv2 server now sends "exit-signal" messages to the client, instead of
   raising an exception, when a process dies due to a signal (#2687)
 - cftp's client-side "exec" command now uses /bin/sh if the current user has
   no shell (#3914)

Deprecations and Removals
-------------------------
 - The buggy SSH connection sharing feature of the SSHv2 client was removed
   (#3498)
 - Use of strings and PyCrypto objects to represent keys is deprecated in favor
   of using Conch Key objects (#2682)

 - Handling of CR IAC in TelnetClient is now improved (#3305)
 - SSHAgent is no longer completely unusable (#3332)

   delivering more than one byte at a time to application code (#3386)
 - Manhole and the conch server no longer need to be run as root when not
   necessary (#2607)
 - The value of FILEXFER_ATTR_ACMODTIME has been corrected (#2902)
 - The management of known_hosts and host key verification has been overhauled
   (#1376, #1301, #3494, #3496, #1292, #3499)

 - An infelicity was fixed whereby a NameError would be raised in certain
   circumstances during authentication when a ConchError should have been
   (#3154)

   it would not scroll correctly (#3189)

==================

Features
--------

   namespace argument. (#2587)
 - Handle ^C during input line continuation in manhole by updating the prompt
   and line buffer correctly. (#2663)
