+Previous revision history for Net::SFTP
+
+0.09 2005.01.16
+ - New co-maintainer, David Robins (DBROBINS).
+ - Adds a 'warn' argument to the constructor to allow supression or
+ redirection of warnings.
+ - Allows the 'ssh_args' constructor argument to be either a hash ref or an
+ array ref.
+ - Adds a 'status' method which returns the last SSH2_FX_* status value, or
+ (status value, text) in list context (only useful after last failure).
+ - Adds brief summary comments to some methods.
+ - Returns failure if the remote open fails for 'get' (previous code ignored
+ it); also moves the remote open before the local open so that we don't
+ create empty local files if the remote file can't be opened.
+ - Changes 'ls' to return an array reference in scalar context.
+ - Documents: the fact that we die on protocol/local errors; the new option
+ and method; changes to 'get'/'put' (formerly 'put' didn't return anything
+ useful, and 'get's actual return values are the same, just better
+ documented).
+ - Adds a comprehensive remote test, but to use it one has to manually go in
+ and configure a server a certain way, so it defaults to skipping
+ everything; I'm including it as a base since there are currently no remote
+ tests at all.
+
+0.08 2003.12.12
+ - Net::SFTP::Buffer was passing an invalid option when loading
+ Net::SSH::Perl::Buffer.
+ - Add SUPPORT section to the docs.
+
+0.07 2003.11.14
+ - Require Net::SSH::Perl 1.24, which also includes circular
+ reference fixes.
+
+0.06 2003.11.14
+ - New maintainer, Dave Rolsky.
+ - Fixed a circular reference which caused connections to be held
+ open indefinitely in a persistent environment like mod_perl.
+ This uses weak references, so Perl 5.6.0+ is now required. This
+ work was funded by Kineticode, Inc.
+ - Added a LICENSE file.
+
+0.05 2001.05.24
+ - Added help ('h' or '?') command to psftp. Moved all shell
+ functionality into Net::SFTP::Shell.
+ - Net::SFTP::Util needed to 'use Exporter'.
+
+0.04 2001.05.16
+ - Fixed bug in put method when running fsetstat command; it
+ was trying to set the UID/GID on the remote file, which
+ was giving a permission denied message. Should not try to
+ set UID/GID, so had to adjust flags.
+ - Added eg/psftp, a working SFTP shell.
+ - Moved READ and WRITE commands into their own methods
+ (do_read and do_write, respectively).
+ - Changed semantics of get method. Returning the contents of
+ the remote file is no longer connected to whether a local
+ file is passed as an argument; it is instead based on the
+ calling context of 'get'. Updated docs to reflect this.
+
+0.03 2001.05.15
+ - Documentation for all extra classes: Attributes, Buffer,
+ Constants, and Util.
+ - Documentation for command methods in Net::SFTP.
+ - Added binmode when reading/writing from local files.
+ - Added methods for all remaining commands in SFTP protocol
+ version 3 (eg. remove, rmdir, mkdir, realpath, etc.).
+ - Added callbacks to get and put, eg. for status messages,
+ etc.
+ - Fixed typo in Net::SFTP::Buffer::get_int64 that was breaking
+ reading 64-bit ints.
+
+0.02 2001.05.14
+ - Fixed bug with SSH2 server not sending one message per
+ packet, ie. multiple packets have to be retrieved to make
+ up one SFTP message. This would show up as a "Message length
+ too long" error. Thanks to Matt Good for the spot.
+ - Fixed bug with OpenSSH and SSH2 SFTP servers where after
+ a certain amount of bytes the connection would hang. This
+ was a bug in Net::SSH::Perl (channel window sizes) that is
+ fixed in version 1.13.
+
+0.01 2001.05.13
+ - original version; created by h2xs 1.19
