New in JSch 0.1.49 (Oct 12, 2012)

  • bugfix: Some sftp servers will sometimes fail to handle bulk requests, and whenever detecting such failures, we should re-send requests again and again. FIXED
  • bugfix: KeyPair#getFingerPrint() should return a fingerprint instead of keysize + " " + fingerprint. FIXED
  • bugfix: KeyPair#getKeySize() should return its key size. FIXED
  • bugfix: SftpATTRS#isDir() should return false for unix domain socket files. FIXED
  • change: improved the heuristics for the password prompt in the keyboard-interactive authentication. It may not be started with "password:".
  • change: ChannelSftp#put(InputStream src, String dst) will not check if dst is directory or not, and if an exception is thrown, the check will be done.
