2016.73 - 18 March 2016
- Support syslog in dbclient, option -o usesyslog=yes. Patch from Konstantin Tokarev
- Kill a proxycommand when dbclient exits, patch from Konstantin Tokarev
- Option to exit when a TCP forward fails, patch from Konstantin Tokarev
- New "-o" option parsing from Konstantin Tokarev. This allows handling some extra options
in the style of OpenSSH, though implementing all OpenSSH options is not planned.
- Fix crash when fallback initshells() is used, reported by Michael Nowak and Mike Tzou
- Allow specifying commands eg "dropbearmulti dbclient ..." instead of symlinks
- Various cleanups for issues found by a lint tool, patch from Francois Perrad
- Fix tab indent consistency, patch from Francois Perrad
- Fix issues found by cppcheck, reported by Mike Tzou
- Use system memset_s() or explicit_bzero() if available to clear memory. Also make
libtomcrypt/libtommath routines use that (or Dropbear's own m_burn()).
- Prevent scp failing when the local user doesn't exist. Based on patch from Michael Witten.
- Improved Travis CI test running, thanks to Mike Tzou
- Improve some code that was flagged by Coverity and Fortify Static Code Analyzer
