- Update to 2.11.0:
* Made a number of improvements in SFTP glob support, with thanks to Github
user LuckyDams for all the help working out these changes!
* Added a new glob_sftpname() method which returns glob matches together
with attribute information, avoiding the need for a caller to make
separate calls to stat() on the returned results.
* Switched from listdir() to scandir() to reduce the number of stat()
operations required while finding matches.
* Added code to remove duplicates when glob() is called with multiple
patterns that match the same path.
* Added a cache of directory listing and stat results to improve performance
when matching patterns with overlapping paths.
* Fixed an "index out of range" bug in recursive glob matching and aligned
it better with results reeturned by UNIX shells.
* Changed matching to ignore inaccessible or non-existent paths in a glob
pattern, to allow accessible paths to be fully explored before returning
an error. The error handler will now be called only if a pattern results
in no matches, or if a more serious error occurs while scanning.
* Changed SFTP makedirs() method to work better cases where parts of requested
path already exist but don't allow read access. As long as the entire path
can be created, makedirs() will succeed, even if some directories on the
path don't allow their contents to be read. Thanks go to Peter Rowlands for
providing this fix.
* Replaced custom Diffie Hellman implementation in AsyncSSH with the one in
the cryptography package, resulting in an over 10x speedup. Thanks go to
Github user iwanb for suggesting this change.
* Fixed AsyncSSH to re-acquire GSS credentials when performing key
renegotiation to avoid expired credentials on long-lived connections. Thanks
go to Github user PromyLOPh for pointing out this issue and suggesting a fix.
* Fixed GSS MIC to work properly with GSS key exchange when AsyncSSH is
