Hi all.

I've put a 0.44test3 release up - it has various fixes and improvements.
The changelog follows.

Matt


0.44test3 - Fri Aug 27 22:20:54 +0800

- Fixed a bunch of warnings.

- scp works correctly when passed a username (fix for the dbclient program
  itself as well, "-lmatt" works as well as "-l matt").

- Remove unrequired debian files

- Exit with the remote process's return code for dbclient

- Display stderr messages from the server in the client

- Add circular buffering to the channel code. This should dramatically reduce
  the amount of backtraffic sent in response to traffic incoming to the
  Dropbear end - improves high-latency performance (ie dialup).

- Various other related channel-handling fixups.

- Allow leading lines in the banner when connecting to servers

- Fixed printing out errors onto the network socket with stderr (for inetd
  mode when using xinetd)

- Remove obselete documentation

- Fix a null-pointer exception when trying to free non-existant listeners
  at cleanup.

- DEBUG_TRACE now only works if you add "-v" to the program commandline

- Don't leave stdin non-blocking on exit - this caused the parent shell
  of dbclient to close when dbclient exited, for some shells in BusyBox

- Server connections no longer timeout after 5 minutes

- Fixed stupid DSS hostkey typo (server couldn't load host keys)
