AsyncSSH 2.8.0 released!

[Ron Frederick]

AsyncSSH version 2.8.0 is now available on Github and PyPI, with some minor improvements and bug fixes. Here’s a list of changes since 2.7.2:

* Added new connect_timeout option to set a timeout which includes the
time taken to open an outbound TCP connection, allowing connections
to be aborted without waiting for the default socket connect timeout.
The existing login_timeout option only applies after the TCP connection
was established, so it could not be used for this.. The support for the
ConnectTimeout config file option has also been updated to use this new
capability, making it more consistent with OpenSSH's behavior.

* Added the ability to use the passphrase argument specified in a connect
call to be used to decrypt keys used to connect to bastion hosts.
Previously, this argument was only applied when making a connection
to the main host and encrypted keys could only be used when they
were loaded separately.

* Updated AsyncSSH's "Record" class to make it more IDE-friendly when
it comes to things like auto-completion. This class is used as a base
class for SSHCompletedProcess and various SFTP attribute classes.
Thanks go to Github user zentarim for suggesting this improvement.

* Fixed a potential uncaught exception when handling forwarded connections
which are immediately closed by a peer.
