Changes for version 0.59_02

  • Fix "auth_list" method.
  • Fix handling of "lib" argument in Makefile.PL.
  • Compilation was broken for perls 5.8.0 .. 5.8.3.
  • Several documentation improvements.

Changes for version 0.59_01

  • WARNING: this release includes lots of changes, some visible, most internal. Regressions are expected. Also, it introduces some minor backward incompatible changes - but in those cases, the old behavior was broken or insane anyway.
  • libssh2 version 1.7.0 is now recommended. The module would still compile against older versions, but not all its features will be available.
  • Makefile.PL has been refactored and improved. Now it is better able to find the library libssh2 and compile code using it.
  • Lots of XS code refactoring has been performed in order to simplify the module internals. Specifically, now typemaps are used extensively to convert between C and Perl types. Also, some complex non-performance-critical functions have been moved to the Perl side or broken in a high level Perl wrapper and a low level simpler C wrapper.
  • KnownHost methods now return undef on error instead of die'ing. Note that this submodule is still marked as experimental.
  • Die when data containing wide characters is passed (i.e. outside the latin1 range). In previous versions, methods on this module would happily accept strings internally encoded as latin1 or utf8 and pass then along untouched, resulting in unreliable behavior.
  • In 32bit perls, return offsets and file sizes as NVs when required to avoid overflow.
  • Method "new" now also accepts the options "compress" and "sigpipe".
  • Passing options to "connect" is now deprecated.
  • Passing a file descriptor number to "connect" is not supported anymore (it was already broken).
  • Method "connect" consistently returns undef on error. The error code can be retrieved calling the "error" method (requires libssh2 1.7.0). In previous versions, some errors made the method die.
  • Timeouts are handled correctly inside "connect".
  • Report EAGAIN in the same way as any other error. This introduces a minor backward incompatibility, but the old behavior was utterly insane and undocumented, and so probably, nobody was using it right anyway!
  • Use libssh2_session_set_last_error function for storage of the Perl level errors (required libssh2 1.7.0). This may introduce some minor backward incompatibilities, but the old code was broken and unreliable anyway.
