sshyp v1.3.0
|
||||
sshyp v1.4.0
|
||||
|
||||
the serious shepherd update
|
||||
the argumentative agronomist update
|
||||
|
||||
this release ties up many of sshyp's loose ends where there was
|
||||
room for major performance, compatibility, and security improvements
|
||||
this release overhauls sshyp's argument system and further streamlines
|
||||
the experience with optimizations and the removal of legacy features
|
||||
|
||||
compatibility-breaking changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- due to a near full re-write of the syncing functionality, all clients and servers
|
||||
must be updated to this release (v1.3.0 is not backwards compatible with any prior release)
|
||||
- it is recommended to either delete the contents of ~/.config/sshyp/deleted (on the server-side)
|
||||
or sync all of your clients before updating
|
||||
^ old entries in this folder will throw errors with v1.3.0
|
||||
- there are no technical breaking changes, but the UX has changed significantly due to the new argument system (detailed below)
|
||||
|
||||
user-facing features:
|
||||
|
||||
- none - all changes were under-the-hood - the user experience should be
|
||||
exactly the same as v1.2.0 - just faster, less buggy, and more secure
|
||||
- when typing an entry/folder name, it is now always the FIRST argument
|
||||
^ e.g. instead of "sshyp copy -p /example/test", it would now be "sshyp /example/test copy -p"
|
||||
^ this allows more easily editing the previous command to copy/edit a different field
|
||||
- better extension integration
|
||||
^ extensions can now ship with a config file that sshyp can use to call them from standard sshyp arguments
|
||||
^ the first extension supporting this is sshyp-mfa
|
||||
^ if sshyp-mfa v1.4.0.1+ is installed, "sshyp /example/test copy -m" will copy MFA keys to your clipboard
|
||||
- entry/folder names now MUST be specified as arguments
|
||||
^ there is no longer a separate input prompt if the entry/folder name is not provided as an argument
|
||||
^ the input prompt was a legacy feature from before arguments could specify entrys/folders with shell completion
|
||||
^ the entry list generated by entry_list_gen() is still present and can be viewed by running "sshyp" with no arguments
|
||||
- better Bash completions
|
||||
^ now correctly places backslashes to escape spaces in entry/folder names
|
||||
^ slightly faster than the previous iteration
|
||||
- IPv6 configuration support
|
||||
|
||||
major fixes/optimizations:
|
||||
fixes/optimizations:
|
||||
|
||||
- a near full re-write of the syncing functionality
|
||||
^ all syncing logic has been moved into sshync.py (from sshyp.py and sshypRemote.py)
|
||||
^ in my setup, a dry, local "sshyp sync" went from 2.00+ seconds (v1.2.0) to 0.36 seconds (v1.3.0)
|
||||
^ the performance improvements are even greater when syncing from outside your local network
|
||||
- the following character sequences will no longer break the syncing logic: "@", "^&*", and "*&^"
|
||||
^ ASCII separator characters 29-31 are now used, instead
|
||||
- os.system has been replaced with subprocess.run in all cases, shell=True is no longer used with subprocess.run
|
||||
^ this protects against shell escape attacks and potentially makes sshyp more compatible with some environments
|
||||
- replaced shell commands with python built-in library functions where applicable
|
||||
^ this brings speed and compatibility improvements
|
||||
- sshyp should no longer incorrectly assume an X11 environment when Wayland is in use
|
||||
^ this fixes clipboard support in some Wayland environments, such as Sway (Plasma/Gnome/Phosh were unaffected)
|
||||
- sshyp now uses the default pinentry on Haiku thanks to haikuports/haikuports#7457
|
||||
^ this brings the Haiku port in-line with the other sshyp packages in terms of security
|
||||
- "python3" is now called over ssh, rather than "python"
|
||||
^ some environments do not have a "python" symlink, or it links to "python2" - changing this increases compatibility
|
||||
- fixed an issue from v1.2.0 where renaming threw an error if not in offline mode
|
||||
- replaced "+=" with ".append" when extending lists to prevent creating an additional list
|
||||
- optimized usage of "str.split()" and replaced it with "str.splitlines()" where applicable
|
||||
- more concise "if... in ()" syntax replaces long "if" statement chains
|
||||
- lists have been substituted with tuples where applicable
|
||||
- entry_list_gen() has been re-written to be much smaller and faster
|
||||
- os.path is now used in place of pathlib.Path in areas where it is faster
|
||||
- the user's home directory is saved to a variable to prevent running expanduser() every time it is needed
|
||||
|
||||
other notable changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- quick-unlock password input is now hidden while the user is typing
|
||||
^ user input is now invisible to prevent snooping
|
||||
- lots of smaller optimizations not listed here
|
||||
- removed some uncommonly used, redundant arguments
|
||||
^ e.g. "-rm", "-s", "delete"
|
||||
^ their functionality was NOT removed, just their redundant arguments, since "shear", "sync", and "del" are the accepted syntax
|
||||
- errors containing entry/folder names reinforce correct syntax by adding leading/following slashes where necessary
|
||||
- thanks to pull request #25, there are new error messages for the read shortcut
|
||||
^ includes when no entry name is provided or the entry name only refers to a directory
|
||||
- directories provided in user input are no longer denoted by a following slash
|
||||
^ instead, os.path is used to determine if the user is referring to a file or directory
