AsyncSSH 1.17.0 released!

[Ron Frederick]

AsyncSSH version 1.17.0 is now available on Github and PyPI, with with minor bug fixes and enhancements. Here’s a list of changes since 1.16.1:

* Added support for "reverse direction" SSH connections, useful to
support applications like NETCONF Call Home, described in RFC 8071.

* Added support for the PyCA implementation of Chacha20-Poly1305,
eliminating the dependency on libnacl/libsodium to provide this
functionality, as long as OpenSSL 1.1.1b or later is installed.

* Restored libnacl support for Curve25519/Ed25519 on systems which
have an older version of OpenSSL that doesn't have that support.
This fallback also applies to Chacha20-Poly1305.

* Fixed Pageant support on Windows to use the Pageant agent by default
when it is available and client keys are not explicitly configured.

* Disabled the use of RSA SHA-2 signatures when using the Pageant
or Windows 10 OpenSSH agent on Windows, since neither of those
support the signature flags options to request them.

* Fixed a regression where a callable was no longer usable in the
sftp_factory argument of create_server.
