2.11.0:
- [Feature] Add SSH config token expansion (eg %h, %p) when parsing
ProxyJump directives. Patch courtesy of Bruno Inec.
- [Support] (via #2011) Apply unittest skipIf to tests currently
using SHA1 in their critical path, to avoid failures on systems
starting to disable SHA1 outright in their crypto backends (eg RHEL
9). Report & patch via Paul Howarth.
- [Support] Update camelCase method calls against the threading
module to be snake_case; this and related tweaks should fix some
deprecation warnings under Python 3.10. Thanks to Karthikeyan
Singaravelan for the report, @Narendra-Neerukonda for the patch,
and to Thomas Grainger and Jun Omae for patch workshopping.
- [Support] Recent versions of Cryptography have deprecated Blowfish
algorithm support; in lieu of an easy method for users to remove it
from the list of algorithms Paramiko tries to import and use, we’ve
decided to remove it from our “preferred algorithms” list. This will
both discourage use of a weak algorithm, and avoid warnings. Credit
for report/patch goes to Mike Roest.
2.10.5:
- [Bug] Windows-native SSH agent support as merged in 2.10 could
encounter Errno 22 OSError exceptions in some scenarios (eg server
not cleanly closing a relevant named pipe). This has been worked
around and should be less problematic. Reported by Danilo Campana
Fuchs and patched by Jun Omae.
- [Bug] OpenSSH 7.7 and older has a bug preventing it from
understanding how to perform SHA2 signature verification for RSA
certificates (specifically certs - not keys), so when we added SHA2
support it broke all clients using RSA certificates with these
servers. This has been fixed in a manner similar to what OpenSSH’s
own client does: a version check is performed and the algorithm used
is downgraded if needed. Reported by Adarsh Chauhan, with fix
suggested by Jun Omae.
- [Bug] Align signature verification algorithm with OpenSSH re:
zero-padding signatures which don’t match their nominal size/length.
This shouldn’t affect most users, but will help Paramiko-implemented
SSH servers handle poorly behaved clients such as PuTTY. Thanks to
Jun Omae for catch & patch.

- [Bug] Servers offering certificate variants of hostkey algorithms
(eg ssh-rsa-cert-v01@openssh.com) could not have their host keys
verified by Paramiko clients, as it only ever considered non-cert key
types for that part of connection handshaking. This has been fixed.
- [Bug] PKey instances’ __eq__ did not have the usual safety guard in
place to ensure they were being compared to another PKey object,
causing occasional spurious BadHostKeyException (among other things).
This has been fixed. Thanks to Shengdun Hua for the original report
/patch and to Christopher Papke for the final version of the fix.
- [Support] Update camelCase method calls against the threading
module to be snake_case; this and related tweaks should fix some
deprecation warnings under Python 3.10. Thanks to Karthikeyan
Singaravelan for the report, @Narendra-Neerukonda for the patch, and
to Thomas Grainger and Jun Omae for patch workshopping.

2.10.2:
- [Bug] Fix Python 2 compatibility breakage introduced in 2.10.1.
Spotted by Christian Hammond.
2.10.3:
- [Bug] Switch from module-global to thread-local storage when
recording thread IDs for a logging helper; this should avoid one
flavor of memory leak for long-running processes. Catch & patch via
Richard Kojedzinszky.
- [Bug] Certificate-based pubkey auth was inadvertently broken when
adding SHA2 support; this has been fixed. Reported by Erik Forsberg
and fixed by Jun Omae.

2.10.1:
- [Bug]: (CVE-2022-24302) Creation of new private key files using
PKey subclasses was subject to a race condition between file creation
& mode modification, which could be exploited by an attacker with
knowledge of where the Paramiko-using code would write out such
files.
- This has been patched by using os.open and os.fdopen to ensure new
files are opened with the correct mode immediately. We’ve left the
subsequent explicit chmod in place to minimize any possible
disruption, though it may get removed in future backwards-
incompatible updates.
- Thanks to Jan Schejbal for the report & feedback on the solution,
and to Jeremy Katz at Tidelift for coordinating the disclosure.
2.10.0:
- [Feature] Add support for OpenSSH’s Windows agent as a fallback
when Putty/WinPageant isn’t available or functional. Reported by
@benj56 with patches/PRs from @lewgordon and Patrick Spendrin.
- [Feature] Add support for the %C token when parsing SSH config
files. Foundational PR submitted by @jbrand42.
- [Bug] Significantly speed up low-level read/write actions on
SFTPFile objects by using bytearray/memoryview. This is unlikely to
change anything for users of the higher level methods like
SFTPClient.get or SFTPClient.getfo, but users of SFTPClient.open will
likely see orders of magnitude improvements for files larger than a
few megabytes in size.
- Thanks to @jkji for the original report and to Sevastian Tchernov
for the patch.
- [Support] Add six explicitly to install-requires; it snuck into
active use at some point but has only been indicated by transitive
dependency on bcrypt until they somewhat-recently dropped it. This
will be short-lived until we drop Python 2 support. Thanks to
Sondre Lillebø Gundersen for catch & patch.

- [Bug]: Enhanced log output when connecting to servers that do not
support server-sig-algs extensions, making the new-as-of-2.9
defaulting to SHA2 pubkey algorithms more obvious when it kicks in.
- [Bug]: Connecting to servers which support server-sig-algs but
which have no overlap between that list and what a Paramiko client
supports, now raise an exception instead of defaulting to
rsa-sha2-512 (since the use of server-sig-algs allows us to know
what the server supports).
