Ganymed SSH-2 for Java

The code is once again maintained by its original author. This release includes all the fixes and improvements that accumulated since 2006: fixes for the default platform character encodings, workarounds for buggy SSHD servers, improved behavior when catching an InterruptedException, support for sending SSH_MSG_IGNORE packets, support for the "none" authentication method, revised SHA-1 code (with optimizations that should more than double speed), fixes for the SFTP code, and many more.

This release has support for SFTP v3, HTTP proxies, connection monitoring, improved port forwarding, better compatibility for the Diffie-Hellman group exchange, and enhancements in the SCP code.

This is a major release. The channel code has been
rewritten from scratch. X11 and remote port
forwarding have been added. Various small changes
were made.

The main change is the addition of preliminary X11
and remote port forwarding support. Also, a more
powerful condition-wait interface was implemented.
The channel code was cleaned up.

This release adds RSA private key support and extends support for encrypted PEM files (adds DES and AES decryption). It adds extensive support for knownhosts file handling. The examples section has been extended; there is now a very basic Swing-based terminal. A FAQ has been added. Input- and OutputStream code has been revised, which leads to a more direct interface to the underlying transport level. There are many code cleanups as well as bugfixes.
