putty (0.58-4) unstable; urgency=low

closes: #336390).

putty (0.58-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix warnings with gcc-4.0 (closes: #287960). * Upgrade to debhelper compatibility level 4; level 2 is deprecated.

putty (0.58-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release (closes: #303296). - Wildcards (mput/mget) and recursive file transfer in PSFTP (closes: #254578). - You can now save your session details from the Change Settings dialog box, _after_ you've started your session. - Various improvements to Unicode support, including: + support for right-to-left and bidirectional text (Arabic, Hebrew etc). + support for Arabic text shaping. + support for Unicode combining characters. - Support for the xterm 256-colour control sequences. - Port forwardings can now be reconfigured in mid-session. - Support for IPv6. - More configurability and flexibility in SSH-2 key exchange. In particular, PuTTY can now initiate repeat key exchange during the session, which means that if your server doesn't initiate it (OpenSSH is known not to bother) you can still have the cryptographic benefits. - Display artefacts caused by characters overflowing their character cell should now all be gone. (This would probably have bothered Windows ClearType users more than anyone else.) - Keepalives are now supported everywhere. - Miscellaneous improvements for CJK/IME users. - New pterm timing code, reducing idle CPU usage (closes: #204811). * Build-depend on x-dev and libx11-dev rather than the transitional xlibs-dev package.

putty (0.57-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release, fixing pscp/psftp security holes exploitable by a
malicious server after host key verification (closes: #296144).
- [SECURITY] Fix heap corruption vulnerability in handling of response
to SFTP FXP_READDIR request.
- [SECURITY] Fix heap corruption vulnerability in handling of SFTP
string fields.

2004
putty (0.56-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release.
- [SECURITY] A vulnerability discovered by iDEFENSE, potentially
allowing arbitrary code execution on the client by a malicious server
before host key verification, has been fixed (closes: #278414).
- Ability to restart a session within an inactive window, via a new menu
option.
- Minimal support for not running a shell or command at all in SSH
protocol 2 (equivalent to OpenSSH's `-N' option). PuTTY/Plink still
provide a normal window for interaction, and have to be explicitly
killed.
- Transparent support for CHAP cryptographic authentication in the SOCKS
5 proxy protocol.
- More diagnostics in the Event Log, particularly of SSH port
forwarding.
- Ability to request setting of environment variables in SSH (protocol 2
only).
- Ability to send POSIX signals in SSH (protocol 2 only) via the
`Special Commands' menu.
- Bug fix: The PuTTY tools now more consistently support usernames
containing `@' signs.
- Support for the Polish character set `Mazovia'.
- When logging is enabled, the log file is flushed more frequently, so
that its contents can be viewed before it is closed.
- More flexibility in SSH packet logging: known passwords and session
data can be omitted from the log file. Passwords are omitted by
default. (This option isn't perfect for removing sensitive details;
you should still review log files before letting them out of your
sight.)
- Ability to set environment variables in pterm.
- PuTTY and pterm attempt to use a UTF-8 line character set by default
if this is indicated by the locale; however, this can be overridden.
- Fix build failure on amd64 due to ut_time's size (closes: #265910).
- Fix blinking line cursors (closes: #272877).
* Install HTML documentation in /usr/share/doc/putty-tools, and make putty
depend on putty-tools for the documentation (closes: #278094).

putty (0.55-1) unstable; urgency=high
* New upstream release.
- [SECURITY] A vulnerability discovered by Core Security Technologies
(advisory number CORE-2004-0705), potentially allowing arbitrary code
execution on the client by a malicious server before host key
verification, has been fixed.
- General robustness of the SSH1 implementation has been improved, which
may have fixed further potential security problems although we are not
aware of any specific ones.
- A terminal speed is now sent to the SSH server.
- Removed a spurious diagnostic message in Plink.
- The `-load' option in PSCP and PSFTP should work better.
- X forwarding can now talk to Unix sockets as well as TCP sockets
(closes: #251257).
- Various crashes and assertion failures fixed.

putty (0.54-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Upstream man page fixes:
- putty(1): Remove claim that there's no Unix puttygen.
- plink(1): Tart up, fix outright lies, mention web docs.
- Add (probably frustratingly) bare-bones man pages for pscp and psftp.
* debian/pterm.menu, debian/putty.menu: Quote 'needs' and 'section'
arguments.
* Policy version 3.5.9: no changes required. Deferring 3.5.10 and above
until I've looked into 'x-terminal-emulator -e' compatibility.

putty (0.53-b-2003-10-12-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Plink, PSCP, and PSFTP are now ready for prime-time. Create a new
putty-tools package for them.
- Possibly fix intermittent "Unable to load private key" errors with SSH
protocol 2 (see #194067).
* Advertise UTF-8 support in pterm's description.

putty (0.53-b-2003-05-14-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream snapshot, including:
- Redraw the window border when the window background colour is
reconfigured mid-session (closes: #193013).
- Rename crc32() to crc32_compute(), to avoid clashing with zlib
(closes: #192309).
- Allow pterm to receive and understand COMPOUND_TEXT selections,
including character set conversion where necessary (closes: #192307).

putty (0.53-b-2003-05-13-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream snapshot.
- Fix spin on exit with +ut, due to a stale file descriptor hanging
around and getting closed later when it had become claimed by GTK
(closes: #166396).
- Add putty(1) man page (closes: #190570).
-- Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> Tue, 13 May 2003 03:34:56 +0100
putty (0.53-b-2003-05-11-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream snapshot, including:
- Fix uninitialized value warning on arm (closes: #192674).
- Fix int <=> pointer casting problems on alpha/ia64 (closes: #192701).
- Restore -T option to pterm (closes: #191750).
- Document NoRemoteQTitle resource and fix window versus icon title
reporting (closes: #191751).
- pterm will now attempt to guess suitable names for any missing fonts
from the ones given; so it'll ask for a font twice as wide as your
base one if you don't specify a wide font, it'll ask for a bolded
version of your base font if you don't specify a bold font, and
similarly for a wide/bold font.
- Remove now-incorrect claim from pterm(1) that Unicode is not supported
(with the last two changes, this closes: #187389).

putty (0.53-b-2003-04-24-1) unstable; urgency=low

bugs fixed as a result.
* Set snapshot version number for the benefit of the About box.

chance of appearing in the correct window.

putty (0.53-b-2003-01-04-1) unstable; urgency=low

that compares less than 0.53-2002-11-08-1.
- Supports UTF-8; just tell it to use a font in the iso10646-1 encoding.
* Update copyright dates in debian/copyright to match LICENCE.
* Just build pterm. No need to bother building plink as well when it's not
part of a binary package.

putty (0.53-2002-10-17-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Initial release, from upstream source snapshot.
* I've put the source package in the net section because that probably
fits PuTTY as a whole better, but I've put the pterm binary package in
the x11 section. Go figure.
