Most notable news in this release is for java-developers. The classes are cleaned out a bit (much more should be done though) making it much more simple to derive stuff from the code. Also a totally transparent "mode-of-usage" is introduced through the classes SSHSocket/SSHServerSocket/SSHSocketFactory (and a few interfaces) which enables a developer to utilize ssh in much the same way some ssl-extensions can be used, i.e. to transparently convert an applet/application to communicate through encrypted (ssh-)tunnels. You don't have to know the inner workings of ssh to do this. I will try to document all this, but for now the source is the only documentation (use the source Luke... :-). Anyway for the curious I have javadoc'ed the stuff (put up on the web). As usual see: <<A HREF="http://www.mindbright.se/mindterm/">http://www.mindbright.se/mindterm/</A>> Cheers, /Mats Andersson PS. People who downloaded the stuff the last 24 hours, try again, there were some stuff that got mixed up in the process of putting it out... Sorry about this! DS. >From the release notes: MindTerm, release 0.96 - Nov 29, 1998 MindTerm is an entirely FREE(*) SSH (currently v1.5) client program written in pure Java. It is more than yet another ssh-client, apart from beeing multi-platform, it's also a full set of packages enabling people to make their own ssh-client and/or "ssh-aware" java-applications/applets (e.g. special/proprietary proxies, ssh-aware applications/applets speaking to proprietary daemons behind firewall etc). It has one other notable feature setting it apart from some other clients, a special ftp-tunnel which works with "ordinary" ftpd's "behind" the sshd. (*) Only restriction is that you can't derive commercial work from it without our written permission. New in this release (mainly for java-developers): o Exit to command-shell without disconnecting (finally :-) o Dynamic handling of port-forwards from the command-shell, local ports can be added/deleted "on the fly" (remote ports can only be deleted). ('list', lists open tunnels). o Can now run single command-line without shell. o New interfaces SSHAuthenticator/SSHClientUser/SSHConsole makes it very easy to use the SSHClient class separately. o New method in SSHClient (doSingleCommand) to be able to do a single command on the sshd-machine. o SSHSocket/SSHServerSocket/SSHSocketFactory for fully transparent usage of SSH in an arbitrary application/applet (see sample code for usage). o Documentation started (a lot to do here... :-). o Code cleaned out and reorganized a bit (more on the way) ... ------- End of Forwarded Message -- J C Lawrence Internet: claw#kanga,nu ----------(*) Internet: coder#kanga,nu ...Honourary Member of Clan McFud -- Teamer's Avenging Monolith... </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00875.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Ruminations on CVS and developing in the Bazaar</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00877.html">[MUD-Dev] ScryMUD/Hegemon code Release</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00877.html">[MUD-Dev] ScryMUD/Hegemon code Release</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00869.html">[MUD-Dev] DevMUD: List data, subscription, and the rest</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00876"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00876"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: Hex-grid mapping</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00885" HREF="msg00885.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Hex-grid mapping</A></strong>, Jon A.
