Hello, I'm pleased to announce Guile-SSH 0.5.0. The new version includes some important changes, such as:
- New implementation of Guile-SSH channels -- now a channel acts like a Guile port and can be used along with regular I/O procedures provided by GNU Guile. - Guile-SSH now comes with a reference manual in Texinfo/Info format. - Automated tests were added. Although the coverage is far not perfect, it will be improved during the next releases. - Guile-SSH now supports authentication with a SSH agent thanks to the new procedure `userauth-autopubkey!'. The library is tested on the following GNU/Linux distributions: Gentoo (Base System release 2.2) with GNU Guile 2.0.9, Debian 7.2 (wheezy) with GNU Guile 2.0.5. As asked by Ludovic, I'm considering to publish a tarball produced by `make distcheck'. Currently I'm just not sure about the best way to do that. As far as I understand I should make it accessible through the Web by a permanent link. Anyway, please find sources here: https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/libguile-ssh/releases/tag/v0.5.0 And here is the list of changes since version 0.4.0 (excerpt from the NEWS file): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Changes in version 0.5.0 (2014-02-05) ** Implement Guile-SSH channels as GNU Guile ports. Now channels can be used with regular procedures such as `display', `write' and `read-line'. ** `session-set!' and `server-set!' now take log-verbosity as a symbol Use symbols to represent log levels instead of numbers. ** Remove duplicates of some session options Remove duplicates that are existed for some Guile-SSH session options: `port-str' (duplicates `port', differs only in expected type of value), `log-verbosity-str' (duplicates `log-verbosity', differs only in expected type of value), `add-identity' (duplicates `identity', no differences). ** New `userauth-autopubkey!' procedure. The procedure can be used for public key authentication with a SSH agent. ** New procedures. `channel-set-stream!', `channel-get-stream', `session?', `server?', `message?'. ** Remove procedures. These procedures are removed due to changes in Guile-SSH channel API: `close-channel!', `channel-poll' `free-channel!', `channel-read`, `channel-write'. ** Add documentation in Texinfo format The Guile-SSH reference manual in Info format will be installed on `make install' into `${prefix}/share/info' directory. ** Update sssh/ssshd example. *** `examples/sssh.scm' and `examples/ssshd.scm' are updated to use the new Guile-SSH channel API. *** `sssh.scm` now uses `userauth-autopubkey!' *** `ssshd.scm' now parses command-line options See `ssshd.scm --help'. ** Add echo server/client example. See `examples/echo' directory. ** Add automated tests. See `tests/' directory. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Comments and bug reports are welcome, of course.
