AsyncSSH 2.14.0 released!

[Ron Frederick]

AsyncSSH version 2.14.0 is now available on Github and PyPI, with some bug fixes and minor improvements. Here’s a list of changes since 2.13.2:

* Added support for a new accept_handler argument when setting up
local port forwarding, allowing the client host and port to be
validated and/or logged for each new forwarded connection. An
accept handler can also be returned from the server_requested
function to provide this functionality when acting as a server.
Thanks go to GitHub user zgxkbtl for suggesting this feature.

* Added an option to disable expensive RSA private key checks when
using OpenSSL 3.x. Functions that read private keys have been
modified to include a new unsafe_skip_rsa_key_validation argument
which can be used to avoid these additional checks, if you are
loading keys from a trusted source.

* Added host information into AsyncSSH exceptions when host key
validation fails, and a few other improvements related to X.509
certificate validation errors. Thanks go to Peter Moore for
suggesting this and providing an example.

* Fixed a regression which prevented keys loaded into an SSH agent
with a certificate from working correctly beginning in AsyncSSH
after version 2.5.0. Thanks go to GitHub user htol for reporting
this issue and suggesting the commit which caused the problem.

* Fixed an issue which was triggering an internal exception when
shutting down server sessions with the line editor enabled which
could cause some output to be lost on exit, especially when running
on Windows. Thanks go to GitHub user jerrbe for reporting this issue.

* Fixed an issue in a unit test seen in Python 3.12 beta. Thanks go
to Georg Sauthoff for providing this fix.

* Fixed a documentation error in SSHClientConnectionOptions and
SSHServerConnectionOptions. Thanks go to GitHub user bowenerchen
for reporting this issue.
