Partly because that's a good idea _anyway_, and partly because it
seems to be causing trouble. (Specifically, their pathetic attempt
to emulate plink's proper select handling seems to get confused when
the back end tries to open a local listening socket.)

don't like the thought of having to try to fix it either,
particularly when I can't tell whether it'll work or not without
reproducing the (probably phantom) problem. Gah. I wish WinSock
would give better documentation of possible error returns.

compute (100*a)/b. Instead compute 100*(a/b), because that way
there's no chance that 100*a will become inexact enough to fail to
yield 100 when a==b.)

range of Unicode characters. Not entirely sure I understand this one
but I trust that RDB knows what he's talking about with Unicode.

characters that failed the UTF-8 canonicality rules were being sent
to the session log twice. Sounds trivial, but I bet it'd have
confused anyone who turned on session logging precisely to track
down a canonicality bug :-)

settings file is unrecognised (i.e. PuTTYtel reading PuTTY's
registry), fall back to the default _port_ as well as the default
protocol.

Alt-Space, Alt-only and the System menu. It lets Windows do more of
the work, and also saves a static variable, so it must be good :-)

mouse tracking is enabled. (This can be turned off if your app
really wants Shift+mouse, but it defaults to on for general
usefulness.)

numeric code page, and also reinstate the direct-to-font zero
translation mode (but now under an actual _name_ rather than blank).
Also add CP437 to the list since at least one expatriate DOS user
wanted it; also select a sensible ISO or KOI codepage based on the
system locale.

can't start the sftp subsystem. This should enable convenient sftp
access to SSH1-only systems: all the admin needs is to install
sftp-server in the right place.

_think_ there was an exploit (even if the server sends "c:foobar",
the client will not attempt to create "c:foobar"; instead it will
try to create ".\c:foobar" which will fail), but it's as well to be
sure.

construction. Doesn't actually affect anything right now, since the
bug was a failure to round a length up to the next multiple of 4 and
it so happens that our current message was exactly 40 bytes anyway
:-) But if we start giving a wider variety of messages one day then
it might be handy to be able to do them without gratuitous crashes.

causes password login to occur on a server that supports password-
through-k-i. Of course when we use the new preference list mechanism
for selecting the order of authentications this will all become much
more sane, but for the moment I've put publickey back up to the top
and things seem to be happier.

code _ever_ worked before! But it's been like this for four months
and nobody has noticed, including me. That's quite spooky.

(as well as showing it for cut and paste). For SSH1, this feature is
largely cosmetic and added for orthogonality; it comes into its own
in SSH2, where it saves the Official One True Public Key Format as
specified in the draft spec, and more particularly as used by
ssh.com's product for authentication. Now that ssh-3.0.1 supports
RSA user keys, this is suddenly actually useful.

done properly (by binding to INADDR_LOOPBACK) instead of hackishly
(by binding to INADDR_ANY, looking at the peer address when a
connection is accepted, and slamming the connection shut at that
point).
[originally from svn r1215]
CHANNEL_OPEN_FAILURE messages, which occur when the remote side is
unable to open a forwarded network connection we have requested. (It
seems they _don't_ show up if you get something mundane like
Connection Refused - the channel is cheerfully opened and
immediately slammed shut - but they do if you try to connect to a
host that doesn't even exist. Try forwarding a port to
frogwibbler:4800 and see what you get.)
