# 1 SSH Release Notes

###
1.1 Ssh 5.1.4

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- With this change, owner and group file attributes decoding is fixed and results with value of integer type.

  Own Id: OTP-19013 Aux Id: GH-7897, PR-8220

###
1.2 Ssh 5.1.3

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- With this change, acceptor_sup is not started for ssh client as it is not needed in that role.

  Own Id: OTP-18974

- With this change, more secure algorithms are preferred by ssh and documentation is updated to reflect that.

  Own Id: OTP-18986

- With this change, KEX strict terminal message is emitted with debug verbosity.

  Own Id: OTP-19002 Aux Id: ERIERL-1041

- Fix reading of password for ssh client when in user_interactive mode.

  Own Id: OTP-19007 Aux Id: ERIERL-1049

###
1.3 Ssh 5.1.2

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- With this change, Curve25519 and Curve448 KEX methods become most preferred (related to RFC8731).

  Own Id: OTP-18964

###
1.4 Ssh 5.1.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- With this change (being response to CVE-2023-48795), ssh can negotiate "strict KEX" OpenSSH extension with peers supporting it; also 'chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com' algorithm becomes a less preferred cipher.

  If strict KEX availability cannot be ensured on both connection sides, affected encryption modes(CHACHA and CBC) can be disabled with standard ssh configuration. This will provide protection against vulnerability, but at a cost of affecting interoperability. See Configuring algorithms in SSH.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-18897

###
1.5 Ssh 5.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Replaced unintentional Erlang Public License 1.1 headers in some files with the intended Apache License 2.0 header.

  Own Id: OTP-18815 Aux Id: PR-7780

- Avoid outputting ansi escape sequences to dumb ssh clients.

  Own Id: OTP-18861 Aux Id: PR-7627

- With this change, connection handler does not execute socket operations until it becomes socket owner. Previously errors could occur if connection handler tried to work with socket whose owner exited.

  Own Id: OTP-18869 Aux Id: PR-7849,GH-7571

####
Improvements and New Features

- With this change, reverse search works with ssh shell and non dumb terminals.

  Own Id: OTP-18730 Aux Id: PR-7499

  Own Id: OTP-18653 Aux Id: PR-7242

###
1.7 Ssh 5.0

####
Improvements and New Features

- The ssh_cli has been updated to work with the changes introduced in the new Erlang shell implementation.

  Own Id: OTP-18231 Aux Id: OTP-17932 PR-6144

- Typing Ctrl+L in a shell now clears the screen and redraws the current line instead of only redrawing the current line. To only redraw the current line, you must now type Alt+L. This brings the behaviour of Ctrl+L closer to how bash and other shells work.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-18285 Aux Id: PR-6262

- Deprecates dbg:stop_clear/0 because it is simply a function alias to dbg:stop/0

  Own Id: OTP-18478 Aux Id: GH-6903

- The implementation has been fixed to use proc_lib:init_fail/2,3 where appropriate, instead of proc_lib:init_ack/1,2.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-18490 Aux Id: OTP-18471, GH-6339, PR-6843

###

- With this change, Curve25519 and Curve448 KEX methods become most preferred (related to RFC8731).

  Own Id: OTP-18964

###
1.9 Ssh 4.15.3.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- With this change, connection handler does not execute socket operations until it becomes socket owner. Previously errors could occur if connection handler tried to work with socket whose owner exited.

  Own Id: OTP-18869 Aux Id: PR-7849,GH-7571

###
1.10 Ssh 4.15.3

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- With this change, PKCS8 formatted private key file is properly decoded and SSH daemon with such key can be started.

  Own Id: OTP-18446 Aux Id: GH-6475

####
Improvements and New Features

- Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1

  The size/1 BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can result in worse types for Dialyzer.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple, tuple_size/1 should always be preferred.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary, byte_size/1 should be preferred. However, byte_size/1 also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to byte_size/ is preceded by a call to is_binary/1 to ensure that bitstrings are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to is_binary/1, so if one is not sure whether previous code had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an is_binary/1 test immediately before the call to byte_size/1.

  Own Id: OTP-18196

- Add a timeout as option max_initial_idle_time. It closes a connection that does not allocate a channel within the timeout time.

  For more information about timeouts, see the Timeouts section in the User's Guide Hardening chapter.

  Own Id: OTP-18207 Aux Id: PR-6231

###
1.14 Ssh 4.14.1

  Own Id: OTP-18094

###
1.15 Ssh 4.14

####
Improvements and New Features

- The representation of Edward curves (ed25519 and ed448) inside ssh had a temporary representation (ed_pri and ed_pub).

  That is now changed to the public_key form. See the manual for more information.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-17920

- Former internal function ssh_file:extract_public_key/1 documented publicly.

  Internally it was previously in ssh_transport.

- Correction of ssh_file typing, specially for the experimental openssh-key-v1 encoding.

  Own Id: OTP-17912 Aux Id: GH-5680

- Improper tag for private ED keys when encoding with ssh:encode/2.

  The tuple had ed_priv as first element, but should have had ed_pri. This is now corrected.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-17928 Aux Id: PR-5679

####
Improvements and New Features

- Add support for Ed25519/Ed448 SSH host keys in the RFC 4716 format ("-----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY-----") generated by for example openssl or via Erlang functions (i.e. public_key:generate_key({namedCurve, ed25519})).

  Ed25519 SSH host keys generated by ssh-keygen was, and are still, supported.

  Own Id: OTP-17857 Aux Id: PR-5532

###
1.22 Ssh 4.13.1

  Own Id: OTP-17707 Aux Id: ERIERL-706

####
Improvements and New Features

- Add better error handling in connect/2,3,4. Detect incorrect arguments and return an informative error tuple instead of throwing a function_clause or similar.

  Own Id: OTP-17515 Aux Id: ERIERL-648

- Make ssh algorithm selection better handle dynamic changes changes in crypto fips mode.

  Own Id: OTP-17795

###
1.24 Ssh 4.12.5

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed a race condition in the acceptor loop: if a client disconnected immediately after the tcp connect, the server could cease handling connection on that address:port.

  Own Id: OTP-17764 Aux Id: ERIERL-726

###
1.25 Ssh 4.12.4

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed that a slow start (>30s) of a client subsystem could cause a log entry with the password.

  Own Id: OTP-17390 Aux Id: ERIERL-648

- Fixed an error when running as an sftp server and a client requests a directory contents listing.

  The fix is to handle the error code {error, eacces} as {error, enoent} in the ssh_sftpd:get_attrs/5 internal function; that is, just skip it.

  Own Id: OTP-17586 Aux Id: GH-5014

####
Improvements and New Features

- The "Key exchange failed" Info Report is now more informative.

  Own Id: OTP-17450 Aux Id: ERIERL-655

####
Improvements and New Features

- Removed usage of erlang:is_port/1 from the SSH implementation.

  Own Id: OTP-16750

- Internal connection setup refactoring.

  Own Id: OTP-17051

- Refactor SSH fsm into a (hopefully) more comprehensible set of gen_statem callback-files.

  Own Id: OTP-17140

- The RSA SHA1 sign/verify variants are disabled by default. That is, ssh-rsa is disabled by default as well as the SHA1 sign/verify with RSA keys from id_rsa and ssh_host_rsa_key. All SHA2 sign/verify are enabled by default.

  The reason is that SHA1 is now considered easy to break.

  To enable RSA with SHA1, for example for a very old and unsafe peer, see Example 9 in the User's Guide chapter Configuring algorithms in SSH.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-17259 Aux Id: OTP-16511, ERIERL-619

###
1.38 Ssh 4.10.8

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

  Own Id: OTP-17108 Aux Id: ERL-1442

###
1.40 Ssh 4.10.6

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed problems in the ssh cli/shell handling. Most important are:

  1) the ssh:shell function did sometimes cause the input to be echoed twice,

  2) the ssh:shell function didn't transfer the LANG and LC_ALL shell variables to the connected server which sometimes made Unicode handling erroneous,

  3) Unicode was not always transferred correctly to and from the peer.

  Own Id: OTP-16799

- The SSH protocol message SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT was sometimes sent instead of SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_FAILURE

  Own Id: OTP-16900

- The ssh_cli module now always sends the exit-status to connected clients so they can use that to check for successful command execution.

  Own Id: OTP-16908 Aux Id: PR-2753

####
Improvements and New Features

- A new option pk_check_user enables checking of the client's user name in the server when doing public key authentication.

  Own Id: OTP-16889

###
1.41 Ssh 4.10.5

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- An ssh-client can take an accepted socket from a listening socket and do an ssh:connect/2 on it.

  Multiple clients on sockets accepted from the same listening socket had stopped working. This is corrected now.

  Own Id: OTP-17021 Aux Id: ERIERL-567

###
1.42 Ssh 4.10.4.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Filter out sensitive data (passwords etc) from progress reports and supervisor reports.

  Own Id: OTP-17468 Aux Id: ERIERL-656

###
1.44 Ssh 4.10.3

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- A supervisor sub-tree could be left if the connection handler process is brutally killed. This will make the max_sessions checking option to count the existing sessions erroneously and could finally block further sessions.

  Own Id: OTP-17006 Aux Id: ERIERL-556

###
1.45 Ssh 4.10.2

####

- Fix a bug that could crash the cli server if a too large cli-window was requested from the client.

  Own Id: OTP-16791 Aux Id: ERIERL-520

####
Improvements and New Features

- Increased test coverage.

  Own Id: OTP-14106

- A chapter about hardening the OTP SSH is added to the User's Guide.

  Own Id: OTP-16411

- The internal Diffie-Hellman high level API for key generation was slow in old and by OpenSSL now unsupported cryptolib versions (1.0.1 and earlier).

  If such a cryptolib is used anyhow, the low-level API is used internally in the crypto application.

  Own Id: OTP-16774

- A new timeout is defined for daemons: hello_timeout.

  The timeout is supposed to be used as a simple DoS attack protection. It closes an incoming TCP-connection if no valid first SSH message is received from the client within the timeout limit after the TCP initial connection setup.

  The initial value is 30s by compatibility reasons, but could be lowered if needed, for example in the code or in a config file.

  Own Id: OTP-16803

###
1.47 Ssh 4.10

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fix error in ssh_sftpd typespec.

  Own Id: OTP-16363

Improvements and New Features

- The plug-in file ssh_file.erl, that is responsible for default file handling, is re-factored, optimized and re-written.

  Own Id: OTP-11688 Aux Id: OTP-12699

- OpenSSH 6.5 introduced a new file representation of keys called openssh-key-v1.

  OTP/SSH had an experimental implementation of this format. That implementation is now improved and supported with the exception of handling encrypted keys.

  Own Id: OTP-15434

- TCP/IP port forwarding, a.k.a tunneling a.k.a tcp-forward/direct-tcp is implemented. In the OpenSSH client, this corresponds to the options -L and -R.

  The client or server listens to a specified socket, and when something connects to it with TCP/IP, that connection is forwarded in an encrypted tunnel to the peer. The peer then connects to a predefined IP/port pair and then acts as a proxy.

  See the manual, ssh:tcpip_tunnel_to_server/6 and ssh:tcpip_tunnel_from_server/6.

  The functionality is disabled per default but can be enabled when starting a daemon.

  Own Id: OTP-15998 Aux Id: PR-2376, PR-2368

- The client-side of the supervisor tree (under sshc_sup) was previously not complete; the channel handling processes were handled with links but had no supervisors.

  This is now corrected with a client-side supervisor tree under sshc_sup, similar to the server-side supervisor tree under sshd_sup.

  Own Id: OTP-16026 Aux Id: PR-2368, (OTP-15998)

- The extension posix-rename@openssh.com is added to the ssh/sftp rename operation.

  Own Id: OTP-16289 Aux Id: PR-2448

- Calls of deprecated functions in the Old Crypto API are replaced by calls of their substitutions.

  Own Id: OTP-16346

- The default known_hosts file handling is improved to include ports.

  The handling of the contents in that file is updated to support the full syntax, with exception of 1) the wildcard '?', 2) wildcards in canonical names and 3) the option '@cert-authority'

  Own Id: OTP-16506

- The MAC (Message Authorization Code) algorithms

  - hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com
  - hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com
  - hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com

  are implemented.

  Own Id: OTP-16508

- The key-exchange algorithms 'diffie-hellman-group14-sha1' and 'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1' are disabled per default. The reason is that SHA1 now is considered insecure.

  They can be enabled if needed, see SSH (App).

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-16509

- The public key algorithm 'ssh-dss' is disabled per default. The reason is that it is now considered as insecure.

  It can be enabled if needed, see SSH (App).

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-16510

- The public key 'ssh-rsa' is now considered as insecure because of its usage of SHA1.

  It is therefore deprecated and will no longer be enabled per default in OTP-24.0.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-16511

- An option optimize (optimize_key_lookup) is introduced for the file interface ssh_file.erl

  The option enables the user to select between the default handling which is fast but memory consuming vs memory efficient but not as fast. The effect might be observable only for large files.

  See the manual for ssh_file:is_host_key/5 and ssh_file:is_auth_key/3.

  Own Id: OTP-16512

- The ssh agent is now implemented in the ssh_agent key callback module.

  Enable with the the option {key_cb, {ssh_agent, []}} in for example ssh:connect/3.

  See the ssh_agent manual for details.

  Own Id: OTP-16513

- Algorithm configuration could now be done in a .config file.

  This is useful for example to enable an algorithm that is disabled by default. It could now be enabled in an .config-file without changing the code,

  See the SSH User's Guide chapter "Configuration in SSH".

  Own Id: OTP-16540

- Documented which gen_tcp socket options can't be used in calls to ssh:connect and ssh:daemon.

  Own Id: OTP-16589

- Added kb_int_fun_4() to the authentication_daemon_options() to enable generating dynamic keyboard-interactive prompts from the user's state returned from the authentication fun pwdfun_4().

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The ssh cli (e.g shell) server behaved strangely when characters were inserted in a string such that the last characters tried to wrap the line.

  Own Id: OTP-14849 Aux Id: ERL-545

- If an OTP SSH server was serving an "exec" request and the executed code used Erlang standard_io for input/output, the I/O was erroneously handled by the *server's* group leader, so the I/O turned up in the the server's Erlang shell (if any). The user at the client side did therefore not see that I/O.

  This is corrected now, so the client - for example the ssh OS shell command - handles the I/O. The user could send input to the server side exec handling code by writing on the terminal, and server side output from for example io:format is presented on the terminal - not only the functional result.

  NOTE 1: Servers executing exec requests with the old, undocumented ways of specifying the custom exec handler is not changed. Changed are only the two cases where the server's 'exec' option either:
  1) is not specified (i.e. using the default shell) or,
  2) it has the {direct, fun(...) -> ... end} value format.

  NOTE 2: Previously an end-of-line marker was appended on the result and error reports at the client side. They are removed now and the error reports are slightly enhanced.

  TECHNICAL DETAILS: The server's device standard_input receives data events from the exec request's channel, and the device standard_output is sending its data by data events to the client on that channel. The result is that standard_io is now performed by the client's group leader.

  Own Id: OTP-15417 Aux Id: OTP-16108

- The functions ssh:shell/1,2,3 left the connection open when they returned. That leakage is fixed now.

  Own Id: OTP-15984

- To get information of a connection_ref() from for example ssh:connect/3, there was previously one function available namely ssh:connection_info/2. This ticket adds ssh:connection_info/1 which returns all information.

  For daemons (servers) started with for example ssh:daemon/2 the function ssh:daemon_info/1 returning all information was available. This ticket adds ssh:daemon_info/2 which returns only the information specified in the second argument.

  The info of connections and of daemons now also includes the item 'options'. Only those options that does not have their default values are returned.

  For a connection also the items 'algorithms' and 'channels' are added.

Improvements and New Features

- The option exec has new option values defined to make it much more easy to implement an own exec server.

  An option called exec for daemons implementing the handling of 'exec' requests has existed a long time but has been undocumented. The old undocumented value - as well as its behavior - is kept for compatibility EXCEPT that error messages are changed and are sent as "stderror" text.

- The internal handling of SSH options is re-written.

  Previously there were no checks if a client option was given to a daemon or vice versa. This is corrected now. If your code has e.g. a client-only option in a call to start a daemon, the call will fail.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-12872

- Modernization of key exchange algorithms. See draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2 for a discussion.

  Removed an outdated weak algorithm and added stronger replacements to keep interoperability with other modern ssh clients and servers. The default ordering of the algorithms is also adjusted.

  Retired: The nowadays unsecure key-exchange diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 is not enabled by default, but can be enabled with the option preferred-algorithms.

  Added: The new stronger key-exchange diffie-hellman-group16-sha512, diffie-hellman-group18-sha512 and diffie-hellman-group14-sha256 are added and enabled by default.

  The questionable [RFC 6194] sha1-based algorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 and diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 are however still kept enabled by default for compatibility with ancient clients and servers that lack modern key-exchange alternatives. When the draft-ietf-curdle-ssh-kex-sha2 becomes an rfc, those sha1-based algorithms and diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 will be deprecated by IETF. They might then be removed from the default list in Erlang/OTP.

- Removed the option public_key_alg which was deprecated in 18.2. Use pref_public_key_algs instead.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-14263

- The SSH application is refactored regarding daemon starting. The resolution of contradicting Host argument and ip option were not described. There were also strange corner cases when the 'any' value was used in Host argument or ip option. This is (hopefully) resolved now, but it may cause incompatibilities for code using both Host and the ip option. The value 'loopback' has been added for a correct way of naming those addresses.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

- The ssh_connection_handler module in SSH is changed and now uses the new behaviour gen_statem.

  The module can be used as an example of a gen_statem callback module but with a warning: This commit of ssh is just a straightforward port from gen_fsm to gen_statem with some code cleaning. Since the state machine and the state callbacks are almost unchanged the ssh module does not demonstrate the full potential of the new behaviour.

  The "new" state machine uses compound states. The ssh server and client state machines are quite similar but differences exist. With gen_fsm there were flags in the user data which in fact implemented "substates". Now with gen_statem those are made explicit in the state names, eg. the state userauth and the binary role-flag becomes the two state names {userauth, server} and {userauth, client}.

- The ssh:daemon option dh_gex_groups is extended to read a user provided ssh moduli file with generator-modulus pairs. The file is in openssh format.

  Own Id: OTP-13052 Aux Id: OTP-13054

- There is now a file (public_key/priv/moduli) which lists size-generator-modulus triples. The purpose is to give servers the possibility to select the crypto primes randomly among a list of pregenerated triples. This reduces the risk for some attacks on diffie-hellman negotiation.

  See the reference manual for public_key:dh_gex_group/4 where the handling of this is described.

  The ssh server (ssh:daemon) uses this.

  Own Id: OTP-13054 Aux Id: OTP-13052

- Integrate elliptic curve contribution from Andreas Schultz

  In order to be able to support elliptic curve cipher suites in SSL/TLS, additions to handle elliptic curve infrastructure has been added to public_key and crypto.

  This also has resulted in a rewrite of the crypto API to gain consistency and remove unnecessary overhead. All OTP applications using crypto has been updated to use the new API.

  Impact: Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) offers equivalent security with smaller key sizes than other public key algorithms. Smaller key sizes result in savings for power, memory, bandwidth, and computational cost that make ECC especially attractive for constrained environments.

- SSH: Make "auth_methods" server option re-usable

  The 'auth_methods' option is used by the server side of the SSH code to tell a connecting SSH client about the authentication methods that are supported by the server. The code still extracts and handles the 'auth_methods' option from Opts in appropriate places, but the Opts checking code in ssh.erl didn't allow that option to be specified.

- Changed ssh implementation to use the public_key application for all public key handling. This is also a first step for enabling a callback API for supplying public keys and handling keys protected with password phrases.

  Additionally the test suites where improved so that they do not copy the users keys to test server directories as this is a security liability. Also ipv6 and file access issues found in the process has been fixed.

  This change also solves OTP-7677 and OTP-7235

1.160 Ssh 1.1.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The erlang ssh server has presented itself incorrectly, using the special version ssh-1.99, although it never has supported versions below 2.0. Since ssh-1.1 client versions below 2.0 are correctly rejected instead of letting the server crash later on. Alas the problem with the presentation string was not discovered until after ssh.1.1 was released. Now the server will present itself as ssh-2.0.

  Own Id: OTP-7795

- An internal function call used an incorrect parameter, which caused problem when the old listen API was used. This was introduced in Ssh-1.1.

  Own Id: OTP-7920 Aux Id: seq11211

####
Improvements and New Features

- Ssh timeouts will now behave as expected i.e. defaults to infinity only the user of the ssh application can know of a reasonable timeout value for their application.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-7807

- The implementation of timeouts added as a patch in ssh-1.0.1 was slightly changed and is now documented.

  Own Id: OTP-7808

- To honor the multiplexing of channels over one ssh connection concept ssh_sftp:connect/ [1,2,3] is deprecated and replaced by ssh_sftp:start_channel/[1,2,3] and ssh_sftp:stop/1 is deprecated and replaced by ssh_sftp:stop_channel/1 and to stop the ssh connection ssh:close/ 1 should be called.

  Own Id: OTP-7809

- Added the message {ssh_channel_up, ChannelId, ConnectionManager} that shall be handled by the channel callback handle_msg/2. This makes the function handle_msg/2 a mandatory function for ssh channels implementations which it was not in ssh-1.1.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

###
1.161 Ssh 1.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- A flaw in the implementation of the supervision tree caused the ssh daemon to close the connections to all currently logged in users if one user logged out. Another problem related to the supervision tree caused the closing down of clients to leak processes i.e. all processes was not shutdown correctly.

  Own Id: OTP-7676

- Tabs could cause ssh_cli to print things in a surprising way.

  Own Id: OTP-7683 Aux Id: seq11102

- [sftp, sftpd] - Added patch to make sftp timestamps more correct, in the long run it would be nice to have better support in file to be able to make it always behave correctly now it will be correct 99 % of time instead of almost never correct, at least on unix-based platforms.

  Own Id: OTP-7685 Aux Id: seq11082

- [sftpd] - Added patch to further improve handling of symbolic links in the sftp-server.

  Own Id: OTP-7766 Aux Id: seq11101

- Ssh incorrectly sent the local id instead of the remote id of a channel to the peer. For simpler cases these ids often happen to have the same value. One case when they do not is when the client sends an exec command two times in a raw on the same ssh connection (different channels of course as the channel will be closed when the exec command has been evaluated) .

  Own Id: OTP-7767

- Packet data could be lost under high load due to the fact that buffered data was sometimes wrongly discarded before it had been sent.

  Own Id: OTP-7768

  Own Id: OTP-7770

####
Improvements and New Features

- Added new API function ssh:connection_info/2.

  Own Id: OTP-7456

- Now starts ssh channel processes later avoiding synchronization problems between processes.

  Own Id: OTP-7516

- Ssh now rejects old versions of the ssh protocol for security reasons. (Even if they where not correctly rejected before the connection would probably have failed anyway due to other reasons.)

  Own Id: OTP-7645 Aux Id: seq11094

- New API module ssh_channel has been added. This is a behaviour to facilitate the implementation of ssh clients and plug in subsystems to the ssh daemon. Note that this slightly changes the options to the API function ssh:daemon/[1,2,3] deprecating all no longer documented options. Note that the new API enforces the "logical way" of using the old API i.e. making the subsystem process part of the ssh applications supervisor tree, so missuses of the old API are not compatible with the new API.
