Release announcements

CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.1.1

 
 1. UPDATED - OpenSSH 5.3p1
 
 See http://www.openssh.org/txt/release-5.3 for release notes.
 
 Highlights:

• Do not limit home directory paths to 256 characters.
• This release removes for support for very old versions of Cygwin and for Windows 95/98/ME
• Increase client IO buffer on Cygwin to 64K, realising a significant  performance improvement.

 2. UPDATED - Cygwin 1.7.0-62
 
 See http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg101490.html for release notes
 
 Cygwin 1.7 is a major release with many changes and enhancements. See http://www.cygwin.com/#beta-test for a complete overview.
 
 Highlights:
 

•  Windows 95, 98 and Me are not supported anymore.
• Mount points are no longer stored in the registry.
• If a filename cannot be represented in the current character set,  the character will be converted to a sequence Ctrl-X + UTF-8 representation of the character.  This allows to access all files, even those not having a valid representation of their filename in the current character set (codepage).  To always have a valid string, use the UTF-8 charset by setting the environment variable $LANG, $LC_ALL, or $LC_CTYPE to a valid POSIX value, for instance in Cygwin.bat like this:

set LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

• PATH_MAX is now 4096.  Internally, path names can be as long as the underlying OS can handle (32K).
• Creating filenames with special DOS characters '"', '*', ':', '<', '>', '|' is supported.
• IPv6 support.
• Reworked pipe implementation.
• Support UTF-8 in console window.
• A lot of character sets are supported now via a call to setlocale().
• Cygwin now allows storage and use of user passwords in a hidden area of  the registry.  This is tried first when Cygwin is called by privileged  processes to switch the user context.  This allows, for instance,  ssh public key sessions with full network credentials to access shares  on other machines.

 3. NEW TOOL - Nano text editor

Wrbldnsd - Rbldnsd for Windows
Version 2.0.0 - June 2009

** NB! Wrbldnsd 2.x IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EARLIER VERSIONS **

CHANGES FROM VERSION 1.2.0

1. NEW - ICW technology

ICW technology allows you to have multiple cygwin-based solutions
by using a single base, as recommended by Cygwin. Winrpe is now
implemented as a repackaging of ICW Base and ICW Nrpe packages.
You can extend your installation by additional ICW packages like rsync,
openssh and so on.

2. UPDATED - Rbldnsd 0.996b

See http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/rbldnsd/changelog for more info

3. NEW - Ability to specify your own service account

Wrbldnsd installer has been extended to support user-defined service
accounts. Existing accounts and domain accounts are also supported.

At last, a new version of Adolsign is available for download. Version 1.9 introduces two new directives for conditional fields: --anchor and --format. Directive --anchor can be used to produce active links in your signatures, while the directive --format allows you to produce formatted output. You can also use %LOGONSERVER% variable in the configuration file paths, to make location-independent deployments easier.

Adolsign 1.9 has improved support for multiple groups in the configuration file and Office 2007 is now supported in signature installer packages created by the option --makepackage.

Examples:

Conditional field field_homepage ( --anchor http )field_homepage will produce the html code <a href=http://field_homepage>field_homepage</a>.

Conditional field field_mobilephone( --format "%s%s%s %s%s %s%s%s" )field_mobilephone will produce 123 45 678 if the mobile phone value in AD is 12345678.

COPSSH - A yet another SSH Server & Client for Windows
Version 2.1.0 - February 2009

CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0.1

1. UPDATED - OpenSSH 5.2p

Security:

* This release changes the default cipher order to prefer the AES CTR
   modes and the revised "arcfour256" mode to CBC mode ciphers that are
   susceptible to CPNI-957037 "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH".

* This release also adds countermeasures to mitigate CPNI-957037-style
   attacks against the SSH protocol's use of CBC-mode ciphers. Upon
   detection of an invalid packet length or Message Authentication
   Code, ssh/sshd will continue reading up to the maximum supported
   packet length rather than immediately terminating the connection.
   This eliminates most of the known differences in behaviour that
   leaked information about the plaintext of injected data which formed
   the basis of this attack. We believe that these attacks are rendered
   infeasible by these changes.

New features:

* Added a -y option to ssh(1) to force logging to syslog rather than
   stderr, which is useful when running daemonised (ssh -f)

* The sshd_config(5) ForceCommand directive now accepts commandline
   arguments for the internal-sftp server.

* The ssh(1) ~C escape commandline now support runtime creation of
   dynamic (-D) port forwards.

* Support the SOCKS4A protocol in ssh(1) dynamic (-D) forwards.
   (bz#1482)

* Support remote port forwarding with a listen port of '0'. This
   informs the server that it should dynamically allocate a listen
   port and report it back to the client. (bz#1003)

* sshd(8) now supports setting PermitEmptyPasswords and
   AllowAgentForwarding in Match blocks

Bug and documentation fixes

* Repair a ssh(1) crash introduced in openssh-5.1 when the client is
   sent a zero-length banner (bz#1496)

* Due to interoperability problems with certain
   broken SSH implementations, the eow@openssh.com and
   no-more-sessions@openssh.com protocol extensions are now only sent
   to peers that identify themselves as OpenSSH.

* Make ssh(1) send the correct channel number for
   SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_SUCCESS and SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE messages to
   avoid triggering 'Non-public channel' error messages on sshd(8) in
   openssh-5.1.

* Avoid printing 'Non-public channel' warnings in sshd(8), since the
   ssh(1) has sent incorrect channel numbers since ~2004 (this reverts
   a behaviour introduced in openssh-5.1).

* Avoid double-free in ssh(1) ~C escape -L handler (bz#1539)

* Correct fail-on-error behaviour in sftp(1) batchmode for remote
   stat operations. (bz#1541)

* Disable nonfunctional ssh(1) ~C escape handler in multiplex slave
   connections. (bz#1543)

* Avoid hang in ssh(1) when attempting to connect to a server that
   has MaxSessions=0 set.

* Multiple fixes to sshd(8) configuration test (-T) mode

* Several core and portable OpenSSH bugs fixed: 1380, 1412, 1418,
   1419, 1421, 1490, 1491, 1492, 1514, 1515, 1518, 1520, 1538, 1540

* Many manual page improvements.

    Better clean-up during uninstallation
