94546cdc2a Mention plink's new -N option in usage and man page. 
[originally from svn r4643]

dd279dffc2 Implement part of `ssh2-generality': introduce the ability to tell 
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...

98028c746f X forwarding changes: 
- 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

e375ba107d `ssh-log-pw-blank': known password fields are now omitted from SSH packet logs 
by default (although they can be included). There's also an option to remove
session data, which is good both for privacy and for reducing the size of
logfiles.

20f433efac Add a configuration option for TCP keepalives (SO_KEEPALIVE), default off. 
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.

were backed by the same storage anyway).

man pages as an appendix in the main manual (once I _have_ a main

5161740aab Incorporate Brad Clarke's suggestion to use "REGEDIT /EA" rather than 
"REGEDIT /E". On newer versions of Windows (verified on 2K), this will cause
the .REG file to be saved in REGEDIT4 format (ASCII) which can be read by
older Windows, rather than REGEDIT5 (Unicode). On older Windows, the extra "A"
is harmless (verified on Win98).

8460ecd27d Yesterday's proxy enhancements also slightly nadgered the config 
box, in that it started to expand under the weight of proxy options.
Now fixed, by folding the SOCKS version selector into the general
proxy type selector so there's one single 5- or 6-way radio button
set split over two lines. settings.c has of course grown a backwards
compatibility wart to deal with legacy config data.

616c837cf0 The long-awaited config box revamp! I've taken the whole config box 
to pieces, and put it back together in a new table-driven form.
config.c sets up a data structure describing most of the config box;
wincfg.c adds in the Windows-specific options (so that config.c can
also form the basis for Mac and Unix config boxes). Then winctrls.c
contains a shiny new layout engine which consumes that data
structure, and windlg.c passes all WM_COMMAND and similar messages
to a driver alongside that layout engine. In the process I've sorted
out nicer-looking panel titles and finally fixed the list-boxes-are-
never-the-right-size bug (turned out to be Windows's fault, of
course). I _believe_ it should do everything the old config box did,
including context help. Now everyone has to test it thoroughly...

c370336a92 xterm apparently supports ESC[90m through ESC[97m to set bright 
foreground colours, and ESC[100m through ESC[107m to set bright
background colours. Hence, so do we. Bright-foreground is
distinguishable from bold, and bright-background distinguishable
from blink, when it leaves terminal.c; the front end may then choose
to display them in the same way if it's configured to do so. This
change makes the xterm backend for Turbo Vision (!!!) work properly.

a564ad3140 Support for doing DNS at the proxy end. I've invented a new type of 
SockAddr, which just contains an unresolved hostname and is created
by a stub function in *net.c. It's an error to pass this to most of
the real-meat functions in *net.c; these fake addresses should have
been dealt with by the time they get down that far. proxy.c now
contains name_lookup(), a wrapper on sk_namelookup() which decides
whether or not to do real DNS, and the individual proxy
implementations each deal sensibly with being handed an unresolved
address and avoid ever passing one down to *net.c.

c92ea6c8ed UI changes for key imports. We now have a separate Load command and 
Import command; the former warns you if you load a foreign key,
whereas the latter doesn't. So the user should always be aware, one

of scp.c, psftp.c and plink.c into it. Additionally, add `batch
mode', in which all the interactive prompts (bad host key, log file
exists, insecure cipher, password prompt) are disabled and safe
responses are assumed. (The idea being that if you run PSCP, for
example, in a cron job then you'd probably rather it failed and
exited instead of leaving the cron job wedged while it waits for
user input that will never arrive.)

88a3baa065 Add the remote counterpart for the `local port forwardings accept 
connections from outside localhost' switch. Interestingly OpenSSH
3.0 appears to ignore this (though I know it works because ssh.com

right thing).

3ed0d44f16 Retired the #ifdef DUMP_PACKETS stuff in ssh.c because I'm utterly 
sick of recompiling to enable packet dumps. SSH packet dumping is
now provided as a logging option, and dumps to putty.log like all
the other logging options. While I'm at it I cleaned up the format
so that packet types are translated into strings for easy browsing.
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT: in the course of this work I had to re-enable
the SSH1 packet length checks which it turns out hadn't actually
been active for some time, so it's possible things might break as a
result. If need be I can always disable those checks for the 0.52
release and think about it more carefully later.
