WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.177    (Thu Mar 27 19:09:03 CDT 2014)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Test mode is now the default.  Actual operation requires
  explicit use of the -x option.

- A new option, -K, has been added to force prompting for passwords.
  This is to provide a means to override a -k (key exchange)
  default if the user set it that way in the $TSSHBATCH environment
  variable.

- It is now possible to substitute the name of the current host into
  either commands or file transfer specifications via the '<HOSTNAME>'
  and '<HOSTSHORT>' strings.  This allows commands and/or file
  transfers to behave in a host-specific manner.


WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.171    (Fri Nov  1 12:08:31 CDT 2013)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

CHANGES:

  - Changed default behavior to pick up $USER from the environment and
    not prompt for it.

  - When prompting for username, now shows $USER or the user presented
    via -n as default if present.

  - Cosmetic changes in reporting output

  - Cleaned up sudo handling and reporting

NEW FEATURES:

  - A new option, -N, to forces prompting for username to overcome the
    new default behavior of using $USER or the name provided by -n
    without promptng.  This option also overrides any previous
    request for key exchange authentication.

  - A new option, -S, forces prompting for the sudo password, with the
    default being any previously provided password (interactive or -p).
    This allows you to use one password to authenticate to the system
    and a different one to do sudo promotion.

  - Two new options, -G and -P, support file transfer GETs and PUTs
    respectively from the selected hosts.

  - A new option, -f cmdfile, allows multiple commands stored
    in the file to be run on each of the selected hosts.  This
    allows for considerably more complex operations than the
    single command string at the end of the command line supported
    in previous versions.

  - A new option, -y, turns on 'noisy' reporting and produces
    context information (hostname, output stream, and command)
    for every line of output.  This makes the output more useful
    when filtered through something like 'grep'.

  - There is a new options, -t, to turn on "test mode" which
    will show what would be done, but will not actually do it.
    This mode also displays useful diagnostic information
    about the command line, variable defintions, file tranfer
    requests, and so on.

  - The new -x option is used to negate a prior -t and thereby
    force execution of the requested file transfers and/or
    commands.

  - Both cmdfiles and hostlistfiles now support freeform whitespace
    and commenting via the "#" character.  

  - Both cmdfiles and hostlistfiles now support including other
    files via the .include directive.  Circular include detection
    is also implemented.

  - Both cmdfiles and hostlistfiles can contain variable
    definitions that are literally replaced in any following
    text.


WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.137    (Fri Feb 22 15:30:24 CST 2013)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- Changed error reporting to place the entire message on a single line.

- Changed the manner of error reporting to provide more specific
  detail.  The original error messages could be misleading because
  both the inability to connect and an ssh rejection reported
  the exact same error.
