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.

of directory recursion was a strategic error: it obfuscates
sftp_{get,put}_file(), and also it makes it very hard to handle
subdirectory wildcards such as `foo/*'. Accordingly, here's a
completely different approach, in which sftp_{get,put}_file() are
still responsible for directory recursion, but wildcards are
expanded in sftp_general_{get,put}() before being passed thereto.
Subdirectory wildcards are now handled consistently across Unix,
Windows and the remote server.

encountered part way through transfer. In particular, this caused
psftp to hang (waiting for FXP_READ replies which had already
arrived) if you try `get' (without -r) on a remote directory.

does not quit PSFTP, so you can then issue another `open' to connect
to somewhere else. This has apparently been trivial for some time,
for exactly the same reasons that `reuse-windows' was so easy, but
it hadn't occurred to me to actually do it until now.

timing shakeup: just running `psftp' caused the net/stdin select
loop (on both Unix and Windows) to get confused at the lack of any
network connection and give up immediately. Should now be fixed.

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).

SSH-1. It also ignored any settings forbidding fallback to SSH-1.
Ignoring `-1' and `-2' is hardly the end of the world, as it'd be difficult
to think of a realistic situation where fallback didn't do the right thing
and PSFTP was still useful. However, ignoring a user's `SSH-2 only' setting
was a bit rude.

before "-load" is processed so that it doesn't clobber it.
I've also changed the semantics of "-load" slightly for PSCP, PSFTP,
and Plink: if it's specified at all, it overrides (disables) the
implicit loading of session details based on a supplied hostname
elsewhere (on the grounds that the user is more likely to want the
"-load" session than the implicit session). (PuTTY itself doesn't do
implicit loading at all, so I haven't changed it.)
This means that all the PuTTY tools' behaviour is now consistent iff
"-load" is specified (otherwise, some tools have implicit-session, and
others don't).
However, I've not documented this behaviour, as there's a good chance
it will be swept away if and when we get round to sorting out how we
deal with settings from multiple sources. It's intended as a "do
something sensible" change.

No very good reason, but I've occasionally wanted to frob it to see if it
makes any difference to problems I'm having, and it was easy.
Tested that it does actually cause keepalives on Windows (with tcpdump);
should also work on Unix. Not implemented on Mac (does nothing), but then
neither is TCP_NODELAY.
Quite a big checkin, much of which is adding `keepalive' alongside `nodelay'
in network function calls.

couldn't do such an obvious thing that could be done from the main
command line. Also had to fix a NULL-dereference in do_sftp_cleanup
in the process.

from_backend() interface, after having made all implementations safe against
being called with len==0 and possibly-NULL/undefined "data".
(This includes making misc.c:bufchain_add() more robust in this area.)
Assertion was originally added 2002-03-01; e.g., see plink.c:1.53 [r1571].
I believe this now shouldn't break anything.
This should hopefully make `ppk-empty-comment' finally GO AWAY. (Tested
with Unix PuTTY.)

sftp.c, and psftp.c now uses that instead of going it alone. Should
in principle be easily installed in PSCP as well, but I haven't done
it yet; also it only handles downloads, not uploads, and finally it
doesn't yet properly calculate the correct number of parallel
requests to queue. Still, it's a start, and in my own tests it
seemed to perform as expected (download speed suddenly became
roughly what you'd expect from the available bandwidth, and
decreased by roughly the expected number of round-trip times).

ability to do synchronous ones as well, because PSCP and PSFTP don't
really need async ones and it would have been a serious pain to
implement them. Also, Pageant itself when run as a client of its
primary instance doesn't benefit noticeably from async agent
requests.

malloc functions, which automatically cast to the same type they're
allocating the size of. Should prevent any future errors involving
mallocing the size of the wrong structure type, and will also make
life easier if we ever need to turn the PuTTY core code from real C
into C++-friendly C. I haven't touched the Mac frontend in this
checkin because I couldn't compile or test it.

completely from putty.h. It's now static in each of the command-line
front ends, shared only between window.c and windlg.c in PuTTY
proper (I've tested this by doing #define cfg cfgsillyname in those
two files only, and it still links so nobody else is using that
symbol!), and part of the `inst' structure in pterm. I think that
only leaves the Unicode module as the last stubborn holdout in the
anti-global-variables campaign.

out of Config after the initial setup phase, but they could if they
wanted to.)

absent, and also (I think) all the frontend request functions (such

As a result I've now been able to turn the global variables `back'
and `backhandle' into module-level statics in the individual front
ends. Now _that's_ progress!

each backend now stores all its internal variables in a big struct,
and each backend function gets a pointer to this struct passed to
it. This still isn't the end of the work - lots of subsidiary things
still use globals, notably all the cipher and compressor modules and
the X11 forwarding authentication stuff. But ssh.c itself has now
been transformed, and that was the really painful bit, so from here
on it all ought to be a sequence of much smaller and simpler pieces
of work.

all the global and function-static variables out of terminal.c into
a dynamically allocated data structure. Note that this does not yet
confer the ability to run more than one of them in the same process,
because other things (the line discipline, the back end) are still
global, and also in particular the address of the dynamically
allocated terminal-data structure is held in a global variable
`term'. But what I've got here represents a reasonable stopping
point at which to check things in. In _theory_ this should all still
work happily, on both Unix and Windows. In practice, who knows?
