WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.159    (Thu Oct 24 14:08:29 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.

  - 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'.

  - 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.


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.
