also added a netbsd-specific build option
(changes)
2013.58 - Thursday 18 April 2013
- Fix building with Zlib disabled, thanks to Hans Harder and cuma@freetz
- Use % as a separator for ports, fixes scp in multihop mode, from Hans Harder
- Reject logins for other users when running as non-root, from Hans Harder
- Disable client immediate authentication request by default, it prevents
passwordless logins from working
2013.57 - Monday 15 April 2013
- Decreased connection setup time particularly with high latency connections,
the number of round trips has been reduced for both client and server.
CPU time hasn't been changed.
- Client will send an initial key exchange guess to save a round trip.
Dropbear implements an extension kexguess2@matt.ucc.asn.au to allow the first
packet guess to succeed in wider circumstances than the standard behaviour.
When communicating with other implementations the standard behaviour is used.
- Client side: when public key or password authentication with
$DROPBEAR_PASSWORD is used an initial authentication request will
be sent immediately rather than querying the list of available methods.
This behaviour is enabled by CLI_IMMEDIATE_AUTH option (on by default),
please let the Dropbear author know if it causes any interoperability
problems.
- Implement client escape characters ~. (terminate session) and
~^Z (background session)
- Server will more reliably clean up utmp when connection is closed, reported by
Mattias Walstr<C3><B6>m
- Don't crash if /dev/urandom isn't writable (RHEL5), thanks to Scott Case
- Add "-y -y" client option to skip host key checking, thanks to Hans Harder
- scp didn't work properly on systems using vfork(), thanks to Frank Van Uffelen
- Added IUTF8 terminal mode support (Linux and Mac OS). Not standardised yet
though probably will be soon
- Some verbose DROPBEAR_TRACE output is now hidden unless $DROPBEAR_TRACE2
enviroment variable is set
- Fix using asymmetric MAC algorithms (broke in )
- Renamed configure.in to configure.ac to quieten autoconf, from Mike Frysinger
2013.56 - Thursday 21 March 2013
- Allow specifying cipher (-c) and MAC (-m) lists for dbclient
- Allow using 'none' cipher or MAC (off by default, use options.h). Encryption
is used during authentication then disabled, similar to OpenSSH HPN mode
- Allow a user in immediately if the account has a blank password and blank
passwords are enabled
- Include a few extra sources of entropy from /proc on Linux, hash private keys
as well. Dropbear will also write gathered entropy back into /dev/urandom
- Added hmac-sha2-256 and hmac-sha2-512 support (off by default, use options.h)
- Don't sent bad address "localhost" for -R forward connections,
reported by Denis Bider
- Add "-B" runtime option to allow blank passwords
- Allow using IPv6 bracket notation for addresses in server "-p" option, from Ben Jencks
- A few improvements for Android from Reimar D<C3><B6>ffinger
- Fix memory leak for TCP forwarded connections to hosts that timed out,
reported by Norbert Bencz<C3><BA>r. Appears to be a very long-standing bug.
- Fix "make clean" for out of tree builds
- Fix compilation when ENABLE_{SVR,CLI}_AGENTFWD are unset
