I've defined a new value for the 'int type' parameter passed to plug_log(), which proxy sockets will use to pass their backend information on how the setup of their proxied connections are going. I've implemented support for the new type code in all _nontrivial_ plug log functions (which, conveniently, are precisely the ones I just refactored into backend_socket_log); the ones which just throw all their log data away anyway will do that to the new code as well. We use the new type code to log the DNS lookup and connection setup for connecting to a networked proxy, and also to log the exact command string sent down Telnet proxy connections (so the user can easily debug mistakes in the configured format string) and the exact command executed when spawning a local proxy process. (The latter was already supported on Windows by a bodgy logging call taking advantage of Windows in particular having no front end pointer; I've converted that into a sensible use of the new plug_log facility, and done the same thing on Unix.)
PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
