-WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.189    (Tue Nov 25 18:03:05 CST 2014)
+WHATSNEW For 'tsshbatch' 1.204    (Thu Dec  4 17:49:30 CST 2014)
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
+[NEW FEATURES]
+
+- Added the following builtin variables:
+
+  __DATE__       # Date in YYYYMMDD format
+  __DATETIME__   # Date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format
+  __HOSTNAME__   # Full name of current host as passed to program
+  __HOSTNUM__    # Count of host being processed, starting at 1
+  __HOSTSHORT__  # Leftmost component of hostname as passed to program
+  __TIME__       # Time in HHMMSS format
+
+- Added an "execution variable".  This runs a command of your
+  choosing (on the local machine) and assigns the results to
+  a user-defined variable.
+  
+- 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.
+
+- 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"
+
+- Added -q for "quieter" output.
+
+
+[CHANGES]
+
+- File transfers now properly preserve the file's permissions.
+
+- Changed hostname separator from ':' to '-' when using the -G command.
+
+- The <HOSTNAME> and <HOSTSHORT> builtins have been replaced
+  with the new builtins described above.
+
+- Error messages now more consistent and clear.
+
+- Test mode now expands variable references to their values for
+  all variables except the builtins above (which are only
+  evaluated at runtime).
+
+- Documentation has been rewritten and improved considerably.
+
+
+[BUG FIXES]
+
+- Fixed bug that prevented the proper dereferencing of
+  __HOSTNAME|SHORT__ (formerly <HOSTNAME|SHORT>) in file transfer
+  specifications.
+
+- Fixed bug that prevented variable substitution in hostnames.
+
+- Fixed bug that prevented '.define' variables from being substituted
+  in 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.
+  
+- Fixed bug that intermittently occurred during password-based auth
+  sessions because ssh-agent and key searching were still being used.
+
+- Fixed error reporting blowout when key-exchange auth fails.
