- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------

AsyncSSH version 1.12.1 is now available on Github and PyPI, with new features
and enhancements, and an important security fix for those using AsyncSSH
server functionality. If you are using AsyncSSH as an SSH server, I strongly
encourage you to upgrade to this release. 

Here's a list of changes since 1.12.0: 

* Implemented a fix for CVE-2018-7749, where a modified SSH client could 
  request that an AsyncSSH server perform operations before authentication 
  had completed. Thanks go to Matthijs Kooijman for discovering and 
  reporting this issue and helping to review the fix. 

* Added a non-blocking collect_output() method to SSHClientProcess to 
  allow applications to retrieve data received on an output stream 
  without blocking. This call can be called multiple times and freely 
  intermixed with regular read calls with a guarantee that output will 
  always be returned in order and without duplication. 

* Updated debug logging implementation to make it more maintainable, and 
  to fix an issue where unprocessed packets were not logged in some cases. 

* Extended the support below for non-ASCII characters in comments to apply 
  to X.509 certificates, allowing an optional encoding to be passed in to 
  get_comment() and set_comment() and a get_comment_bytes() function to 
  get the raw comment bytes without performing Unicode decoding. 

* Fixed an issue where a UnicodeDecodeError could be reported in some 
  cases instead of a KeyEncryptionError when a private key was imported 
  using the wrong passphrase. 

* Fixed the reporting of the MAC algorithm selected during key exchange to 
  properly report the cipher name for GCM and Chacha ciphers that don't 
  use a separate MAC algorithm. The correct value was being returned in 
  queries after the key exchange was complete, but the logging was being 
  done before this adjustment was made. 

* Fixed the documentation of connection_made() in SSHSession subclasses 
  to properly reflect the type of SSHChannel objects passed to them.
