on a local port), the `Auto' protocol option on the Tunnels panel
should always produce a port you can connect to in _either_ of IPv4
and v6, because the aim is for the user not to have to know or care
which one they're using. This was not the case on Windows, and now
is. Also, updated the docs to give more detail on issues like this.

of polishing to bring them to what I think should in principle be
release quality. Unlike the unfix.org patches themselves, this
checkin enables IPv6 by default; if you want to leave it out, you
have to build with COMPAT=-DNO_IPV6.
I have tested that this compiles on Visual C 7 (so the nightlies
_should_ acquire IPv6 support without missing a beat), but since I
don't have IPv6 set up myself I haven't actually tested that it
_works_. It still seems to make correct IPv4 connections, but that's
all I've been able to verify for myself. Further testing is needed.

Change Settings, the port forwarding setup function is run again,
and tags all existing port forwardings as `do not keep'. Then it
iterates through the config in the normal way; when it encounters a
port forwarding which is already in the tree, it tags it `keep'
rather than setting it up from scratch. Finally, it goes through the
tree and removes any that haven't been labelled `keep'. Hence,
editing the list of forwardings in Change Settings has the effect of
cancelling any forwardings you remove, and adding any new ones.
The SSH panel now appears in the reconfig box, and is empty apart
from a message explaining that it has to be there for subpanels of
it to exist. Better wording for this message would be welcome.

Retire BUG_SSH2_DH_GEX and add a backwards-compatibility wart, since we never
did find a way of automatically detecting this alleged server bug, and in any
case there was only ever one report (<3D91F3B5.7030309@inwind.it>, FWIW).
Also generalise askcipher() to a new askalg() (thus touching all the
front-ends).

which pretty much any module can call to request a call-back in the
future. So terminal.c can do its own handling of blinking, visual
bells and deferred screen updates, without having to rely on
term_update() being called 50 times a second (fixes: pterm-timer);
and ssh.c and telnet.c both invoke a new module pinger.c which takes
care of sending keepalives, so they get sent uniformly in all front
ends (fixes: plink-keepalives, unix-keepalives).

line for every single .but file at the bottom of each page of the
HTML PuTTY docs. However, we can't _always_ replace that with a
single SVN revision, because there isn't always one available (SVN
still allows mixed working copies in which some files are
deliberately checked out against a different revision).
Hence, here's a mechanism for doing better. It uses `svnversion .'
to determine _whether_ a single revision number adequately describes
the current directory, and replaces all the version IDs with that if
so. If it can't do that, it uses the version IDs as before.
Also, this allows an explicit version string to be passed on the
make command line which will override _both_ these possibilities, so
that release documentation can be clearly labelled with the release
version number.

of the SSH servers I conveniently have access to (Debian stable OpenSSH --
3.4p1 -- and lshd) seem to take a blind bit of notice, but the channel
requests look fine to me in the packet log.
I've included all the signals explicitly defined by

"env" request. (I haven't yet found a server which accepts this
request, so although I've visually checked the packet log and it
looks OK, I haven't yet been able to do a full end-to-end test.)
Also, the `pty' backend reads this data and does a series of
`putenv' commands before launching the shell or application.
This is mostly because in last week's UTF-8 faffings I got
thoroughly sick of typing `export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8' every time I
started a new testing pterm, and it suddenly occurred to me that
this would be precisely the sort of thing you'd want to have pterm
set up for you, particularly since you can configure it alongside
the translation settings and so you can ensure they match up
properly.

PuTTY / Plink not to run a remote shell/command at all. Supported in
the GUI configuration and via the (OpenSSH-like) -N command-line
option.
No effort is currently made to arrange `nice' UI properties. If you
do this in GUI PuTTY, a full-size terminal window will still be
created, and will sit there with almost nothing in it throughout
your session. If you do it in Plink, Plink will not accept any kind
of request to terminate gracefully; you'll have to ^C or kill it.
Nonetheless, even this little will be useful to some people...
