--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.7.53 - 18 Sept, 2023
Features
o When enabled, limit the supported public keys to algorithms that the client has a known key for i.e. keys in known_hosts. The ordering remains as configured in preferences. Use "LimitPublicKeysToKnownHosts" Adaptive configuration directive or Ssh2Context method setLimitPublicKeysToKnownHosts.

--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.7.51 - Apr 10, 2023
Features
o Any failure of the negotiated key exchange will force reconfiguration and attempt re-connection. You can prevent this with the adaptive configuration directive "reconfigureKexOnFailure" or system property -Dmaverick.reconfigureKexOnFailure=false although some known workarounds will still be active, for example the diffie-hellman-group-exchange backwards compatibility issue.
Bug Fixes

J2SSH Maverick 1.7.48 - Nov 16, 2022
Features
o Added adaptive configuration option NoneAuthentication to determine if "none" authentication is requested. This is normally used to obtain a list of the authentication methods that can continue and should not normally be turned off.
o Added adaptive configuration option SupportsExtensionNegotiation to determine if the special key exchange algorithm is sent to the server to notify it that we support extension negotiation message. This is turned on by default but added to allow disabling of this if requested by support.
o Added getMinimumSecurity method to ComponentFactory to return the lowest SecurityLevel that factory supports.
Bug Fixes

o Set passwordChangeRequired if new password is set on Ssh2PasswordAuthentication to allow client initiated password change.
o Warn of attributes failure in SftpClient cd method instead of generating an error.
o Removed hard dependency on BouncyCastle JCE for ed25519 keys. This now supports any JCE provider that supports ed25519 algorithm.
Changes have been made to the build process in this update that required changes to the output assembly. Whilst
we have tried to maintain the same output some changes may be noticed and jar file names changed.
All versions of Log4j have been removed from our dependencies. We continue to support SLF4J provider and recommend customers use the appropriate
patched versions of Log4J if they continue to use it in their own applications.
* This release requires the use of maverick-common 1.4.14 dependency
--------------------------------

--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.7.35 - Feb 3, 20201
IMPORTANT NOTICE
****************
Recent changes to algorithm configuration have made it difficult to maintain a global set of algorithm preferences when using both client and server APIs within the same JVM. Therefore with this release, the default has been changed to require per-context algorithm preferences and the setting has been deprecated. Each context now will have its own set of preferences and requires configuration separately. The setting to switch between per-context and global preferences has been deprecated and whilst it can be changed back, we do not advise to do so. If you have any concerns about how this change will impact your configuration please contact us at support@jadaptive.com
Features
o Log pseudo-terminal request values in DEBUG.
o Override algorithm preferences by SSH identifier or host using System properties in the form "<identifier>.ciphers", "<identifier>.macs", "<identifier>.publickeys", "<identifier>.kex" and "<identifier>.compressions" where <identifier> is the hostname used to connect (passed to socket) or the SSH Identification String of the server e.g. "OpenSSH_8.1".
o AdaptiveConfiguration class for global or pattern matching configuration of ciphers, macs, public keys, key exchanges, and compressions.
o Deprecated enableFIPSMode method on SshContext. The method and behavior are out-of-date. Use JCEProvider.initializeDefaultProvider("BCFIPS") passing a FIPS-approved JCE provider in approved mode to restrict algorithms to only those supported by the approved FIPS environment.
o Deprecated Diffie-hellman backward compatibility switches as new adaptive configuration now support detecting and automatically configuring this value if a server requires backward compatibility.
o Binary logging option using System property in the form -D<identifier>.binary=true where <identifier> is the hostname used to connect (passed to socket) or the SSH Identification String of the server e.g. "OpenSSH_8.1".
Bug Fixes
o SshDiagnostics run all tests parameter causes ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
o Ssh2Session silently consumes timeout exception whilst waiting for the remote side to close.
o SftpClient ls method with filter/regex support does not filter locally if the remote server does not support server-side filtering.
o Apply more rules to the processing of known key exchange issues to capture protocol error when an incorrect DH exchange mechanism is used.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This is the first public release of the 1.6.x stable branch. Source code developed with versions 1.4.x or
lower will not be binary compatible with this API although changes should be minimal as this new branch
is a continuation of the work of those branches and should be considered the stable successor to 1.4.x
versions.
Please note that the internal cryptographic provider has been removed and as such all cryptographic
functions are provided by the installed Java Cryptography Extensions (JCE) in your environment. The minimum
required version of Java is 1.5.
J2SSH Maverick 1.6.0 - Oct 9, 2013
Features
o Logging is now provided though SLF4J.
o API is now built with and requires a minimum Java version of 1.5.
o Build system changed to Maven.
o Common components shared between client and server implementations have been moved to a separately versioned jar file to help compatibility between the two.
o Internal cryptographic provider has been removed.
o Added support for Elliptic Curve keys ecdsa-sha2-nistp256, ecdsa-sha2-nistp385 and ecdsa-sha2-nistp521.
o New Shell implementation that uses begin/end markers for each command to extract output from the users shell.
o Support for PKCS8 PEM encoded private keys (required BouncyCastle JCE provider installed)*
o checkLocalSourceAddress method added to ForwardingClientListener to allow forwarding to be declined based on source address.
Bug Fixes
o Ssh2Session incorrectly defaults send keep-alive packet on idle to true, causing connections to remain active when the expected result was a timeout.
* Requires upgrade to maverick-common 1.0.1 which is included in this release.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.49 - Oct 5, 2013
Bug Fixes
o Start of key exchange was not synchronized until SSH_KEX_INIT had been received allowing non key exchange message to be sent in error.
o Support for larger N sizes in DSA key signatures allowing > 1024 bit DSA keys to be utilised.
o Added hmac-sha2-256 algorithm to supported Hmacs
o copyRemoteDirectory/copyLocalDirectory flatten copied directory structure.
o Internal cache of SFTP file handles uses unsafe conversion from byte[] to String.
o Under load ConnectionProtocol was able to send a message during key re-exchange.
o SftpSubsystemChannel does not provide a method to perform SSH_FXP_LSTAT.
o Added statLink method to SftpClient to get attributes of a link.
o SftpClient symlink method passes target and link paths to createSymbolicLink in the wrong order.
o Added support for larger DH key sizes in diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 and diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.48 - July 18, 2013
Bug Fixes
o Ssh2Channel checkCloseStatus call in close method does not pass correct remote closure state causing potential lockup in close method.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.47 - July 5, 2013
Features
o Added SshConnector.enableFIPSMode to configure the client to only use FIPS supported algorithms. This requires a JCE that supports 2048 bit DH primes so is incompatible with SunJCE, use BouncyCastle JCE to support this or a FIPS certified JCE.
Bug Fixes
o When no default JCE provider is specified on JCEComponentManager, for diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 only, default to BouncyCastle JCE if it is an installed Provider.
o AbstractJCECipher IV is now initialized with getBlockSize, allowing it to be overridden to prevent NPE with NSS/JSS crypto.
o Erroneous inclusion of Jakarta ORO .class files in maverick-all.jar. Use dependency if you need to depend on Jakarta ORO (regex matching in ScpClient/SftpClient).
o SftpFileInputStream does not implement available causing issues with GZIPInputStream and BufferedInputStream.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.46 - Apr 26, 2013
Bug Fixes

o Attempts to read non-existent data from SFTP v4 file attributes ACL.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.45 - Mar 13, 2013

o Forwarding client bottleneck fix in local forwarding socket listener.
o Better handling of channel EOF messages, forcing channel close when both sides are EOF.
o Channel is now freed only after all listener events have been fired.

--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.44 - Dec 5, 2012
Features
o Allow X11 fake cookie to be set rather than relying on random value. Normally this would not be desired but allows a scenario where J2SSH is used to bridge X11 in a server environment and needs to use fake cookie supplied by bridged client.
Bug Fixes
o ScpClient creates file before parsing entire response; in the event response is incorrect create file after complete parsing of response.
o AbstractKnownHostsKeyVerification fails to process known_hosts line with multiple host names for public key.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.43 - Oct 12, 2012
Bug Fixes
o Text mode file transfer incorrectly defaults to processing all EOL types and not just system EOL types.

Bug Fixes
o SFTP hangs on very large packet size. Added more restrictive check, size can be configured with system property maverick.sftp.maxPacketSize.
o Race condition causes short lived channel to remain open if server closes before client has updated channel from uninitialized to open.
o Zero length channel data packet causes EOF exception when channel int read() is used to return data from channel InputStream.
o AbstractKnownHostsKeyVerification requires synchronization to ensure thread safety.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.39 - June 28, 2012
Features
o Added system property maverick.debug.dsa.rvalue to allow output of DSA r value received from server in host key verification
for testing that no repeated r value is seen.
Bug Fixes

--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.38 - June 9, 2012
*************************
IMPORTANT NOTICE
*************************
This release contains a fix for a vulnerability discovered in the DSA implementation within the standalone cryptographic provider and it is advised that all users upgrade if their configuration has been modified to use the standalone cryptographic provider. The vulnerability can be used by a compromised server to discover the private key of a user using techniques outlined at http://rdist.root.org/2010/11/19/dsa-requirements-for-random-k-value/
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.5 or greater defaults to using the JCE cryptographic provider and in its default configuration is outside the scope of this vulnerability.
This affects you if you are using a version less than 1.4.5 OR a more recent version that you have explicitly set the following system property to a value of 'true' to activate the standalone provider:
-Dcom.maverick.ssh.components.ComponentManager.tryStandaloneCryptographyBeforeJCE=true
If you require any advise on this issue please contact support@javassh.com
Bug Fixes

--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.8 - Apr 17, 2009
Features
o Added new session init process object to Shell class that allows expect and input
operations on the session before the session sits at the prompt. This would
typically be used to enter additional authentication information when a shell
initializes.

the user has cancelled the authentication attempt.
o X509 public key implementation fails signature validation due to incorrect algorithm
name in public key blob.
o Adding algorithm implementations to context when not using per instance algorithm mode causes
multiple instances of same algorithm to be reported in key exchange. This causes long running
applications to degrade connection performance and eventually causes new connections to fail
with ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception.
--------------------------------

when new path parameter is a directory. The previous change caused the method
to act differently than previous versions which allowed the file to be moved
from one directory to another.
o ScpClient.put throws NullPointerException when local path is absolute.
o ScpClient fails with unexpected termination exception after successful file transfer
o SSH v1 connections fail under JCE when BouncyCastle provider is not available on the
classpath. BC provider is now added automatically, to disable set
maverick.enableBCProvider=false.

o Ssh2Context: constructor no longer overrides createInstance when creating the compression factories.
o TransportProtocol: moved the if(!name.equals(COMPRESSION_NONE)) from the Ssh2Context constructor to the performKeyExchange(byte[]) method so that the condition is checked once instead of twice.
o Ssh2Context: now supports per instance algorithm preferences.
o Provided additional method to pass optional headers through to HTTP proxy.
Bug Fixes
o ScpClient get() and put() fails to process filenames with / correctly.
o HTTP proxy headers now maintain their case correctly.
o Server reporting version 2.99 will cause protocol version error.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.1 - Jul 09, 2008
Features
o ComponentManager: changed to catch SecurityException on call to System.getProperty().
o StandaloneComponentManager: Added aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr ciphers.
o DiffieHellmanGroup1Sha1 and DiffieHellmanGroup14Sha1: have been tweaked to improve performance.
o DiffieHellmanGroup14Sha1: Added now that there is better code safety to prevent seemingly random errors when JCE'S are used that do not support it.
o JCEComponentManager: now tests each of the keyexchange algorithms before adding them to the list of supported algorithms, if the jce does not support the algorithm or the keysize it will not be added.
o OpenSSHPublicKeyFile: this class is now public.
o ScpClient: now implements Client like the other services.
o SECSHPublicKeyFile: this class is now public.
o SshConnector: Changed addEventListener and removeEventListener methods to take a String threadPrefix parameter that allows listeners to be registered that will only listen to threads who's name starts with this string.
o SshMessageRouter: If the thread that creates the message pump thread has a "prefix-" the message pump thread name is now prefixed with the this prefix, to allow per Ssh connection instance logging.
o SftpSubsystemChannel: removed unused "longname" variable from the extractFiles(SftpMessage, String) method
o SftpSubsystemChannel: new constructor that allows the maximum sftp version to use to be specified SftpSubsystemChannel(SshSession session, int Max_Version)
o SftpSubsystemChannel: can now set the maximum sftp version to use on a per instance basis using the instance method setThisMaxSftpVersion(int MAX_VERSION)
o SftpClient: new constructor that allows the maximum sftp version to use to be specified SftpClient(SshClient ssh, int Max_Version)
o Ssh2Channel: now has a sendExtendedChannelData() method that allows non protocol messages to be sent over a channel.
o changed ForwardingClient, AbstractKnownHostsKeyVerification, ScpClient, SftpClient, ComponentManager to catch SecurityException on calls to System.getProperty and to use "" instead of the expected value.
Bug Fixes
o ComponentManager: removed duplicated cipher and public key factory instantiations.
o Jars: Fixed problem with manifests that prevented them from being verified once signed using "jarsigner".
o J2SSHEventCodes: fixed conflicting event ids.
o IOStreamConnector: now uses the new event logging system
o SelectorThread: fixed closeAllChannels() so that it cleans up properly
o SftpFile: removed rename() method as it is not compatible with our sshd, as the sshd will have a file handle open and the rename message uses path not handle. (rename method fixed as it didn't work, then commented out).
o SftpClient: mkdir(String dir) now throws exception if a file with the name "dir" already exists, previously it would be overwritten.
o SftpClient: matchRemoteFiles now resolves paths correctly when no regular expression matching is used.
o SftpSubsystem: fixed file handle leak in onSubsystemFree().
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.4.0 - May 08, 2008
Features
o Logging: All logging has been changed to use an event model. Important events have their own event codes, less important events are wrapped using EventLog and use the "log event" code or the "debug" event code.
o Logging: org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure(); should still be used to configure log4j, but it is now only used in the LoggingListener an example implementation is provided "J2SSHLoggingListener". The LoggingListener used should be set using SshConnector.addEventListener(new J2SSHLoggingListener());.
o SshConnector: Added addEventListener and removeEventListener methods for use with the new logging event model.
o AbstractComponentFactory: Recoded so that algorithm lists can be fully ordered, there is now a new changePositionofAlgorithm method which facilitates this.
o AES192CBC and AES256CBC ciphers added.
o ComponentManager: Recoded so that ciphers and MACs can have independent preferences for Server->Client and Client->Server communications.
o ComponentManager: now tries JCE first if the "com.maverick.ssh.components.ComponentManager.tryStandaloneCryptographyBeforeJCE" system property is set to false otherwise Standalone is tried first, this allows the choice to use JCE or Standalone cryptography to be made programatically instead of by changing the classpath or creating a class loader.
o DiffieHellmanGroup14Sha1: Removed until better code safety is added in version 1.4.1 to prevent seemingly random errors when JCE'S are used that do not support it.
o SftpClient, SshClient, Ssh2Client, Shell, ForwardingClient, now implement a new Client interface giving them all an exit() method with the same name.
o Ssh1Client: Added exit method.
o Added more logging to various classes.
Bug Fixes
o ForwardingClient: Wrapped com.sshtools.net.ForwardingClient.addListener(ForwardingClientListener listener) in an if(listener!=null) {..} block.
o ShellEnvironment: moved session.close(); statements so that it does not close already closed sessions.
o ShellEnvironment: fixed so that when it detects 'cygwin' SSHD servers running on windows boxes it sets osDescription, previously only set osType.
o Ssh2RsaPublicKey: Fixed com.maverick.ssh.components.standalone.Ssh2RsaPublicKey equals method so that it is compatible with jce.Ssh2RsaPublicKey.
o Ssh2Client: Removed an unused password variable in Ssh2Client.
o ByteArrayReader: fixed com.maverick.util.ByteArrayReader.readShort(byte[], int), it was treating the byte[] as having the 0 index byte as the least significant instead of the most significant byte.
o IOStreamConnector: com.maverick.util.IOStreamConnector.close() now sets the connectors state to closed even if it has not been started.
o SftpClient: com.sshtools.sftp.SftpClient.rename() now doesn't attempt to rename to an existing filename.
o AbstractComponentFactory: made AbstractComponentFactory's add,remove,clear methods synchronised.
o SshMessageRouter: com.maverick.ssh.message.SshMessageRouter.start() now only starts the messagepump if it has not already been started.
o Fixed the word occurred which was misspelt as occured.
o When the server required no authentication and therefore had no authentication methods, the message pump on buffered sessions was not started if authenticate() was not called.
o fixed an scp absolute path problem
o updated obfuscation software to fix preverification errors
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.3.10 - Nov 14, 2007
Features

o PuTTY private key support broken due to missing dependency.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.3.3 - Mar 27, 2007
Bug Fixes
o Option to turn off pseudo terminal allocation in Shell class. This was required for
correct identification of VShell servers.
o SftpFileInputStream uses SSH_FXP_FSTAT message for open files. Whilst this is not a
problem for most SFTP servers the FreeFTPD server, for unknown reasons does not support
this operation so prevents access using the API when attempting to use InputStream based
code against this server implementation. Changed SftpFileInputStream to use SSH_FXP_STAT
message to prevent this error.

the internal provider. Simply select the maverick-jce-only.jar file if you want to use
the JCE exclusively, or maverick-standalone-only.jar if you want to use the internal
provider. The maverick-all.jar contains all implementations and will default to the
internal provider.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.2.12 - Nov 12, 2006

o Added diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 key exchange as per SSH Transport Protocol specification. This
implementation exists in both the internal crypto provider and JCE formats although it should be
noted that the default SUN reference JCE provider does not support 2048 bit primes required by
this key exchange method. The BouncyCastle JCE provider (www.bouncycastle.org) does and has been
used to test this algorithm works with JCE enabled.
o Support for SSH1 challenge response authentication added.
Bug Fixes
o API now passes all SSHredder vulnerability checks (http://www.rapid7.com/info/sshredder.html)
o Added partial message timeout setting to Ssh2Context in response to a number of vulnerabilties
identified by SSHredder. This timeout only applies once a message is received, and determines how
long the remote server has to send the remaining bytes of the message before a timeout exception is
thrown. This prevents the client locking up when the server does not send all of the data it declared
in the message header.
o Shell class hangs on createSession due to prompt command being sent too quickly.
o Timeout setting added to Shell class so that it does not get stuck waiting for a prompt that never arrives.
o Initialization period setting added to Shell class to allow the shell to initialize correctly over a configurable period.
o FileTransferProgress reports total transfer length of 0 for ASCII file transfers.
--------------------------------
J2SSH Maverick 1.2.10 - Jul 22, 2006

SftpClient's get and put methods.
o stopLocalForwarding & cancelRemoteForwarding methods throw NPE when attempt is made to stop an invalid
forwarding configuration
o The maximum supported transport protocol packet was 35,000 bytes, this caused problems with Globalscape server which
sends packets larger than the recommended size. The API will now adapt to such errors by increasing the maximum packet
size when required. The limit forcing a protocol exception can now be set in the Ssh2Context setMaximumPacketLength
method which defaults to 131072 bytes.
