AsyncSSH 1.18.0 released!

[Ron Frederick]

AsyncSSH version 1.18.0 is now available on Github and PyPI, with with minor bug fixes and enhancements. Here’s a list of changes since 1.17.1:

* Added support for GSSAPI ECDH and Edwards DH key exchange algorithms.

* Fixed gssapi-with-mic authentication to work with GSS key exchanges,
in cases where gssapi-keyex is not supported.

* Made connect_ssh and connect_reverse_ssh methods into async context
managers, simplifying the syntax needed to use them to create tunneled
SSH connections.

* Fixed a couple of issues with known hosts matching on tunneled SSH
connections.

* Improved flexibility of key/certificate parser automatic format
detection to properly recognize PEM even when other arbitrary text
is present at the beginning of the file. With this change, the
parser can also now handle mixing of multiple key formats in a
single file.

* Added support for OpenSSL "TRUSTED" PEM certificates. For now, no
enforcement is done of the additional trust restrictions, but such
certificates can be loaded and used by AsyncSSH without converting
them back to regular PEM format.

* Fixed some additional SFTP and SCP issues related to parsing of
Windows paths with drive letters and paths with multiple colons.

* Made AsyncSSH tolerant of a client which sends multiple service
requests for the "ssh-userauth" service. This is needed by the
Paramiko client when it tries more than one form of authentication
on a connection.
