First stab at the ability to compile puttytel.exe, an SSH-free variant which is patent-safe in the US and legal in France and Russia. This is a horrible hack in some ways: it's shown up serious deficiencies in the module boundaries. Needs further work, probably once the SSH implementations are recombined.

Rationalise access to, and content of, backends[] array. Should be no significant change in behaviour. (Well, entering usernames containing commas on Plink's command line will be a little harder now.)

Fix bug in which the SSH-only tools (pscp, psftp) did not honour a nonstandard port number when loading a saved session. Occurs because those tools include be_none.c which defines no entries in backends[] at all, as a result of which settings.c doesn't recognise the word 'ssh' in the saved session's protocol field and instead sets the protocol to something idiotic - which _then_ means that when pscp.c forces the protocol to PROT_SSH, it also resets the port number as it would when overriding a saved session specifying a protocol other than SSH. The immediate solution is to define a new be_ssh.c citing only ssh_backend, and include that in the SSH-only tools. However, I wonder if a better approach (perhaps when I redesign session loading and saving) would be not to be so clever, and just have all the tools contain a complete list of known protocol names for purposes of understanding what's in the saved session data, and complain if you try to use one they don't know how to actually speak.

config.c: loop over backends list for protocol selector. Similarly to the previous commit, this is one fewer place where I need to make a handwritten change with each new protocol. 2020-02-22 14:00:23 +00:00			`const int be_default_protocol = -1;`

Name vtable structure types more consistently. Now they're all called FooVtable, instead of a mixture of that and Foo_vtable. 2018-10-05 06:03:46 +00:00			`const struct BackendVtable *const backends[] = {`

New GUI for protocol selection. This replaces the pure radio-button setup that we've always had on the Session config panel. Since the last release, that set of radio buttons has been getting out of hand. We've added two new protocols (SUPDUP, and the 'bare ssh-connection' aka psusan protocol), neither of which is mainstream enough to be a sensible thing to wave at all users on the front page of the config GUI, so that they perhaps start wondering if that's the protocol they want to use, or get sidetracked by going and looking it up. The replacement UI still has radio buttons, but only for the most common protocols, which will typically be SSH and serial. Everything else is relegated to a drop-down list sitting next to a third radio button labelled "Other". In every be_* module providing a backends[] list, there's also a variable n_ui_backends which indicates how many of the backends ought to appear as first-level radio buttons. (Credit where due: this patch is a joint effort between Jacob and me, and is one of those rare cases where it would be nice to be able to put both our names into the Author field of the commit. Failing that, I can at least mention it here.) 2021-04-10 08:51:29 +00:00
