Now, instead of returning a boolean indicating whether the query has completed or is still pending, agent_query() returns NULL to indicate that the query _has_ completed, and if it hasn't, it returns a pointer to a context structure representing the pending query, so that the latter can be used to cancel the query if (for example) you later decide you need to free the thing its callback was using as a context. This should fix a potential race-condition segfault if you overload an agent forwarding channel and then close it abruptly. (Which nobody will be doing for sensible purposes, of course! But I ran across this while stress-testing other aspects of agent forwarding.)
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?
