- The HOSTNAME and HOSTSHORT built-in names no longer use < and > as
delimiters, but use a double underbar instead as in: __HOSTNAME__.
This change was made to avoid having to quote these metacharcters
since they are used by the shell for redirection.
- Fixed bug that prevented the proper dereferencing of HOSTNAME
in certain file transfer specifications.
- Fixed bug that only recognized sudo invocations if they were the
first statement on a command line. All instances of the string
"sudo " will now force sudo password prompting and processing.
That string is ignored if it appears inside single- or double quotes.
- Added -l logging option. Defaults to /dev/null. This fixes the error
that was previously being reported:
"No handlers could be found for logger "paramiko.transport"
- Suppressed ssh-agent use and search for keys when doing password auth.
- Changed hostname separator from ':' to '-' when using the -G command.
- Added -E to redirect all stderr output to stdout instead,
- Added -T timeout option (default is 15 sec).
- Added -a to allow program to continue after file transfer error.
- Fixed error reporting blowout when key-exchange auth fails.
- Error messages now more consistent and clear.

sudoers Mode
