• Back to all releases

Version 0.5.1 of Gnome-sshman

Changes: The "open sessions folder" button was removed, so nautilus is now an optional dependency. A session information tool was added to view session data and attach notes to an ssh session. Telnet support was added. A warning is given if you are closing a session with opened tabs. A preferences window was added to change colors, fonts, and set other default options. Gconf support was added. Two bugs were corrected: a cypher module bug with the hwrandom module and a bug with GNOME 2.20 nautilus in background mode.

Changes: This new release solves a bug with SSH connections to servers with a non-standard SSH port. It also solves another bug which made bold fonts unreadable. The console tabs now have a button to close them. A window control was added to zoom in or out or into fullscreen. The keybindings were changed from ctrl+ to ctrl+shift+. Other minor enhancements were done.

Changes: Ssh terminal font management has been changed from xft to pango, and now fonts look better. The default terminal background color has been changed to white and a 30 second timeout has been added for when gnome-sshman checks if connection is available. This solves a "window freeze" when an ssh connection is not responding. In passwords dialogs, now you can enter passwords and other data by pressing the return key. ssh terminal focus has been corrected.

Changes: This release adds a new ssh terminal built with python-vte with tabs support and a sessions menu to quickly access other new sessions and open the current session with nautilus, a new keyring to store all ssh passwords encrypted with AES (using python-crypto) with a passphrase, and a new setup.py installer to check all needed dependencies. It now uses python-pexpect to send or receive data from ssh.

Changes: The application crashed if it couldn't find the locale file. This version doesn't import the locale when the locale file does not exist.
