Subject: [ANN] Net::SSH 1.0.0

Net::SSH 1.0 is finally available. From version 0.0.1 released back in
June until now, there have been many, many changes and new features,
and this latest release is the most stable, most SSH2-compatible
release yet.

  User manual: http://docs.jamisbuck.org/read/book/1
  API: http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/api
  Project page: http://rubyforge.org/projects/net-ssh
  Subversion: http://www.jamisbuck.org/svn/net-ssh

This release has the following new features and significant bug fixes:

  * Password can be programmatically specified for the
    'keyboard-authentication' method.
        
  * All unit tests pass on Windows now.

  * Channels now respect their own local window and maximum packet
    sizes, and report reasonable values to the server. This fixes a
    bug that caused problems when large quantities of data were
    requested of the server and certain server maximums were being
    exceeded.

  * Client name is determined in a more robust manner.

  * Fixed hostbased bug.

  * Authentication process is now aware of the authentication methods
    reported by the server as having a chance of succeeding, and no
    longer attempts those methods that cannot possibly succeed.

Various other minor bugs were fixed as well.

Net::SSH now enters the "maintenance" phase of its lifecycle. I do not
have any plans at this point to add new features to Net::SSH itself,
but if you have any ideas that would make it better, please don't
hesitate to submit a feature request.

Enjoy!
