AsyncSSH 2.22.0 released!

[Ron Frederick]

AsyncSSH version 2.22.0 is now available on Github and PyPI, with some small features and bug fixes. Here’s a list of changes since 2.21.1:

* Added a new config option `utf8_decode_errors` for handling UTF-8

  decode errors when parsing certain fields in SSH packets (disconnect

  error, debug message, userauth banner, channel open failure reason,

  channel exit signal reason, and SFTP error reason). The default

  continues to behave as before, raising a ProtocolError exception,

  but this option allows invalid bytes to be removed or replaced.

  Thanks go to GitHub user Le-Syl21 for suggesting this.

* Changed config parser to Ignore subdirectories and parse only plain

  files matching a glob pattern in include directives, better matching

  the behavior of other SSH implementations. Thanks go to Jacopo Nespolo

  for contributing this change.

* Improved a previous fix for a race condition which sometimes triggered

  assertion errors in SSHForwarder. Thanks go to Mike Barry for reporting

  the issue and helping to test the improved fix.

* Removed optional dependency on libnacl/libsodium for chacha20 and

  Edwrds curves, now that these are available in all supported

  versions of the cryptography package.

* Updated asyncssh to use version 2 of the fido2 package, and update

  minimum Python version to 3.10, required by that updated package.

* Fixed issue with the OpenSSL legacy provider on Windows and

  re-enabled OpenSSL use in unit tests on Windows.

* Inproved "run multiple clients" example to show the hostname being

  accessed by each task.

* Added unit testing for Python 3.14 and dropped 3.8 and 3.9.
