discussed. Use Barrett and Silverman's convention of "SSH-1" for SSH protocol
version 1 and "SSH-2" for protocol 2 ("SSH1"/"SSH2" refer to ssh.com
implementations in this scheme). <http://www.snailbook.com/terms.html>

I wanted to get to -- "software caused connection abort" and friends --
are going to be more involved (probably requiring some cross-platform
notion of help contexts), and these ones hardly seem worth the effort.
Still, I've done it now.
Side-effect: Pageant now uses the same `hinst' and `hwnd' globals as
everything else. Tested basic functionality.

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.

[this svn revision also touched putty-wishlist]
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.

(in the Windows version), and hopefully to clarify distinction between line
charset and local font, which has occasionally foxed me.
Cross-reference the Translation panel reference section from the intro
section in using.but and mention line-drawing characters there also.

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
draft-ietf-secsh-connect-19, but I've put the more obscure ones in a submenu
of the specials menu; there's therefore been some minor upheaval to support
such submenus.

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...

- new function platform_get_x_display() to find a sensible local display.
On Unix, the Gtk apps weren't taking account of --display when
determining where to send forwarded X traffic.
- explicitly document that leaving X display location blank in config tries
to do something sensible (and that it's now blank by default)
- don't override X11Display setting in plink, since that's more properly
done later
[originally from svn r4604]
- update usage info in tools
- ack, plink is over 24 lines now
- update man pages for Unix version
- Doc changes:
- move long description from (GUI) "config" to "using"
- sorry if complete specification isn't what this section is meant for,
but if you only read "using" it was hard to find.
- ensure enough references to this made in other sections (GUI,
command-line)
- update instance of plink usage info

users. Update the file selection dialogs to mention it per the usual Windows
convention, and also sprinkle references to it throughout the docs. I've
also scattered hints that most tools need PuTTY's native format; perhaps this
will reduce the frequency with which FAQ A.1.2 trips people up.

well, though it's a lot less useful since you still can't bind to
low-numbered ports of odd loopback IPs. Should work in principle for
SSH2 remote forwardings as well as local ones, but OpenSSH seems
unwilling to cooperate.

Updated manual to reflect reality (e.g. usage messages, '-p port' not actually
implemented, sprinkle references to '-i keyfile').
(I've put "Release 0.53" in the messages; let's hope this doesn't cause a
flood of "where is 0.53?" email.)
I don't guarantee that the result is entirely sane and sensible in all
respects, but it is at least consistent.

connections from outside localhost' switch. Interestingly OpenSSH
3.0 appears to ignore this (though I know it works because ssh.com
3.0 gets it right, and the SSH packet dump agrees that I'm doing the
right thing).

PuTTY now has a complete manual. Stylistic review, content review
and indexing are yet to do, but at least there's some plausible text
in every section now.

know) and the Configuration reference chapter (things you already
knew and had just forgotten). Only half-written at the moment.
