 The Notetaker Update - Patch 1
 This is the FINAL release of "rpass".
 After this release, the project will be rebranded as "sshyp".
 rpass's syncing system is fundamentally broken, hence the need for "sshyp"
 and its new syncing system. I would highly advise against using this release.
 New features:
 - none
 Changes:
 - fixed an issue with copying notes (currently only copies first line, will be changed in the future)
 - rpass is validated to work with Python 3.10 (no changes were needed)

 sshyp v1.3.0
 the serious shepherd update
 this release ties up many of sshyp's loose ends where there was
 room for major performance, compatibility, and security improvements
 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
 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
 major 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
 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

 sshyp 2021.12.01.fr2.1
 The Lighter Update - Patch 1
 This release is a hotfix for 2021.12.01.fr2.
 Changes:
 - fixed a bug where "sshyp tweak" would not function on new installations
 - moved the argument parser to the global process
 - running "sshyp version" or "sshyp -v" no longer triggers syncing
 - folders are now created natively with Python, rather than through system commands
 An fr2.2 patch is planned for this version. It will include the following:
 - fixes for any new bugs that may be discovered in the new sshyp and sshync code
 - the gen command in sshyp will be updated to use the newer notetaking system
 - printing functions in sshyp will be combined into one function (arguments will determine section to print)
 - file not found exceptions will be re-implemented
 Planned for next major update (The Fluffier Update):
 - new visual features
    ^ this includes the new file list and thematic text art. sshyp will be
    getting a retro computing theme.
 - packages for more environments
    ^ "sshyp" will be officially packaged for Arch Linux, Alpine Linux, and Termux (Android).
    Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora packaging will come later.
 - imporove password generator to guarantee more secure results
 Planned for next, next major update (The Shears Update Pt. 1):
 - enforce permissions on the server-side
 - allow for copying entire notes (not just first line)
 - allow for multi-client deletion... somehow
 - detatch sshync and make it a separate package
 - manpage
 Planned for next, next, next major update (The Shears Update Pt. 2):
 - ability to pass entries as arguments for more functions
 - auto-completion on tab (currently unsure of best way to make this work)
 Backlog:
 - package for more Linux distributions, such as Debian and Fedora
 - create separate gui frontend targetting mobile and desktop Linux

 sshyp 2021.11.05.fr1
 First public release of sshyp.
 This release fixes major bugs from rpass and rebrands the project.
 New features:
 - an entirely new syncing back-end called sshync (custom Python wrapper around sftp)

 rpass 2021.11.01.mr5.1
 The Notetaker Update - Patch 1
 This is the FINAL release of "rpass".
 After this release, the project will be rebranded as "sshyp".
 rpass's syncing system is fundamentally broken, hence the need for "sshyp"
 and its new syncing system. I would highly advise against using this release.
 New features:
 - none
 Changes:
 - fixed an issue with copying notes (currently only copies first line, will be changed in the future)
 - rpass is validated to work with Python 3.10 (no changes were needed)
 Planned for next update (sshyp fr1)
 - full project rebrand ("sshyp")
 - new syncing back-end

 Changes:
 - fixed issues with copying passwords with certain special characters, e.g. '"()|
 - auto-generated ssh key now uses ed25519, rather than rsa-3072
 - entry format modified to include a blank line before the notes field (old format still mostly compatible)
 - rpass is now much better at catching bad arguments
 - some general code cleanup
 Planned for next update (The Housekeeping Update Pt. 2):
 - add new file list w/color and w/o extensions + proper displaying of nested folders
 - ability to pass entries as arguments for more functions
 - manpage
 - add more comments to code
 - validate for Python 3.10
 Planned for next update (The cryptpass Update):
 - initial implementation of a data store for other applications (libsecret alt.)

 sshyp v1.5.0
 07/12/2023
 the fortified flock update
 this release implements new curses-based TUI configuration menus and improves the security of sshyp
 compatibility-breaking changes:
 - a completely new configuration system calls for a new configuration file
    ^ before using sshyp v1.5.0 for the first time, 'sshyp init' will need to be ran to create the
    new configuration file - the old configuration files can be safely deleted
    ^ 'sshyp tweak' has been repurposed as the configuration menu for changing individual options,
    rather than re-doing setup entirely - after initialization, this is the one you want to use
 - the new extension manager is replacing the old method of installing extensions as system packages
    ^ any older extensions you have installed should be uninstalled to prevent conflicts
    ^ extensions are now installed and removed through the 'sshyp tweak' menu's extension manager
    ^ this does not yet apply to Haiku and Termux, which will continue to install extensions using
    the previous method
 - all clients and servers must be updated to this release for the folder renaming bug fix to work
    ^ failure to update all devices will result in errors and/or potential data loss
 - various packaging changes
    ^ x-clip and wl-clipboard are now marked as optional dependencies, so the correct tool will
    need to be installed as needed - a warning has been added for this if neither package is installed
    ^ the changelog no longer ships with sshyp - it is still available on GitHub
 user-facing features:
 - the old configuration menu, 'sshyp tweak', has been split into two new curses-based TUI menus
    ^ 'sshyp init' is for first-time setup/initialization
    ^ 'sshyp tweak' can be used at any time to quickly adjust individual settings
    ^ whitelist management tools have been moved to the new 'sshyp tweak' menu
    ^ clients and servers now each have their own dedicated 'sshyp tweak' menu
    ^ the new config file is in .INI format, making it easier to edit the config without sshyp
 - added a 'sshyp tweak' option for re-encrypting all entries with a new gpg key
 - added a security advisory when enabling quick-unlock to ensure the user understands potential risks
 - the user is now warned if the clipboard tool relevant to their platform is not installed
 - passwords are now hidden by default in the entry reader
    ^ they can be displayed by appending '--show' or '-s' to the end of the command
 - input is now hidden when adding/editing a password in an entry
 - entries are no longer re-encrypted and synced if the note editor is quit without saving
 fixes/optimizations:
 - a tmpfs is no longer used for decrypting entries unless editing notes
    ^ data is now decrypted directly into sshyp and written to entries pre-encrypted
    ^ this makes reading entries much more secure
    ^ editing entries is similarly secure to before - greater improvements coming in a future update
 - folder renaming has been re-enabled and now functions as intended
 - some unnecessarily verbose outputs were silenced and/or made to appear more cleanly
 - FreeBSD packaging fixes
    ^ no longer incorrectly includes and uses the logic for the Termux clipboard
    ^ now specifies 'python3' dependency instead of 'python'
 - many lists provided to the subprocess module have been swapped with tuples
 - more correct and clear language is used to describe options and arguments in the help menus
 - properly display an error when attempting to copy blank fields from entries
 - shebangs have been removed from libraries not meant to be run directly
 other factors of note:
 - with the release of Debian 12 Bookworm, sshyp is once again fully supported on vanilla Debian
    ^ previously, it was only working correctly in offline mode due to Debian 11's old OpenSSH package
 - this is the biggest release of sshyp ever
    ^ it includes LOTS of minor changes and optimizations not included in the patch notes summary
    ^ as such, keep an eye out for new bugs!
 - the next major release of sshyp may be even larger...
    ^ but it is also likely very far away
    ^ GnuPG is great, but it is inherently incompatible with sshyp's future security model
    ^ if all goes according to plan, GnuPG will be replaced in the next release
    ^ assuming this happens, this next release will be crowned v2.0.0
    ^ sshyp v1.5.X is expected to be the latest stable release for a longer amount of time than usual
    ^ sshyp v1.5.X may receive security/bug fix patches after the release of v2.0.0, as needed

 sshyp v1.4.3
 06/08/2023
 the argumentative agronomist update - patch three
 IMPORTANT: the next major release of sshyp, v1.5.0, will make breaking changes that will require
 running through 'sshyp tweak' again - also starting with v1.5.0, a copy of the changelog will no
 longer be packaged with sshyp (it will still be available on GitHub) and clipboard tools
 (x-clip and wl-clipboard) will be set to optional dependencies ('sshyp tweak' will warn of this)
 this is a highly unconventional release featuring backports to fix critical bugs found during the
 development of the upcoming v1.5.0
 fixes:
 - folder renaming has been disabled to prevent a severe data loss bug from occuring
    ^ this has been properly fixed for v1.5.0, but the fix requires all clients and servers
    to be updated - to avoid breaking compatibility with 1.4.X, folder renaming was simply disabled
    for the time being
 - backported fix for syncing over IPv6
 - backported fix for multiple versions of Powershell being called under WSL
 - backported fix for checking /lib/sshyp instead of /usr/lib/sshyp
 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
 sshyp v1.4.2
 04/30/2023
 the argumentative agronomist update - patch two
 IMPORTANT: the next major release of sshyp, v1.5.0, will make breaking changes that will require
 running through 'sshyp tweak' again - also starting with v1.5.0, a copy of the changelog will no
 longer be packaged with sshyp (it will still be available on GitHub) and clipboard tools
 (x-clip and wl-clipboard) will be set to optional dependencies ('sshyp tweak' will warn of this)
 this release makes use of a new ports framework to make sshyp even smaller and faster than before
 user-facing features:
 - full WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) support
 - partial MacOS support
    ^ fully functional; packaging support has not yet been added
 - dedicated help screen for 'gen'
    ^ this was previously not included due to 'sshyp gen' being a valid command prior to v1.4.0
 - removed interactive input for whitelist management
    ^ this is to be consistent with the removal of interactive input on clients in v1.4.0
 fixes/optimizations:
 - leading and following spaces are no longer stripped when printing entry contents
 - properly display an error when trying to remove a device from the whitelist that is not whitelisted
 - ports framework to remove unneeded code for each platform
    ^ BLANKS.py removes all blank lines
    ^ CLIPBOARD.py removes non-platform-critical clipboard code
    ^ COMMENTS.py removes all comments
    ^ RMSERVER.py removes server-only code for creating client-only packages
        ^ the Haiku package, which was already unsupported as a server, now only includes client code
    ^ SHEBANG.sh sets the shebang to what is required by the platform
    ^ TABS.sh converts all groups of spaces to tabs for space efficiency
    ^ UNAME.py removes all instances of platform detection and leaves only the platform-required code
    ^ THESE SCRIPTS ARE ONLY USED FOR PACKAGING AND DO NOT AFFECT THE SOURCE FILES IN THE GIT REPO

 sshyp v1.4.1
 the argumentative agronomist update - patch one
 this release improves sshyp's shell completions by adding zsh support and significantly optimizing and improving Bash support
 user-facing features:
 - zsh completion support
    ^ ensure modern completions are enabled in your ~/.zshrc
 fixes/optimizations:
 - Bash completions are now much faster due to the use of recursive globbing
 - Bash completions have been modified to be functionally similar to the new zsh completions
 other notable changes:
 - some official packages now use more space-efficient compression
 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
 sshyp v1.4.0
 the argumentative agronomist update
 this release overhauls sshyp's argument system and further streamlines
 the experience with optimizations and the removal of legacy features
 compatibility-breaking changes:
 - there are no technical breaking changes, but the UX has changed significantly due to the new argument system (detailed below)
 user-facing features:
 - 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
 fixes/optimizations:
 - 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:
 - 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

 .SH DESCRIPTION
 sshyp is a lightweight password and note management program written in Python. sshyp is used via CLI and is self-hosted with a client-server model. sshyp expects that you have access to a personal server with a properly configured ssh server, ideally accepting remote connections.
 .SH EXAMPLES (CLIENT)

 .SH SETUP
 sshyp operates on a client-server model, and thus requires you to have access to your own server (whether it be a physical home server or a cloud rental) with remote access via SSH.
-The sshyp package includes modes for operating on both client and server devices, so only one package is necessary.
+The sshyp package (on fully supported platforms) includes modes for operating on both client and server devices, so only one package is necessary.
 Server setup:
    Configure an OpenSSH server (if sshyp was installed from the Debian package, openssh-server and openssh-sftp-server must be installed manually - if sshyp was installed from the Fedora package, openssh-server must be installed manually)
    Allow remote access to the SSH server w/public key authentication (disabling password-only authentication recommended)
    Install sshyp
-    Run "sshyp tweak" and set the device type as server
+    Run "sshyp init" and set the device type as server
-    Optionally, run "sshyp whitelist setup" and configure quick-unlock
+    Optionally, configure a quick-unlock pin from the tweak menu
    Done!
 Client setup:
    Install sshyp
-    Run "sshyp tweak" and follow the prompts
+    Run "sshyp init" and follow the prompts
    Copy the generated public SSH key (located at ~/.ssh/sshyp.pub) to the server using preferred method (manually adding to authorized_keys, ssh-copy-id, etc.)
    If you already have entries on the server, sync them using "sshyp sync"
-    Optionally, Bash completions can be enabled by installing your distribution's "bash-completion" package and restarting your terminal
+    Optionally, shell completions (both Bash and ZSH) can be enabled with your shell's respective method
    Done!
 Please note that the server setup intentionally does not allow the reading of entries (it does not allow adding a gpg decryption key). For security purposes, only clients can read entries.

 sshyp v1.2.0
 the brisk bahh update
 this release focuses on speeding up the sshyp user experience by adding
 new features that reduce wasted time
 compatibility-breaking changes:
 - new configuration options (quick-unlock, offline mode) have been added and
 the configuration files have been reorganized
    ^ simply running "sshyp tweak" and following the setup wizard will correct any compatibility
    issues
 - for quick-unlock security, device names have been replaced with more secure device ids
    ^ older device names are still compatible, but for security reasons it is recommended
    to delete any pre-existing device names from the server and allow "sshyp tweak" to re-register
    your devices
 user-facing features:
 - quick-unlock mode has been added
    ^ this allows you to use a shortened version of your password by verifying that your device
    is whitelisted on your sshyp server - it's both faster and more secure than standard unlock,
    but it requires an active connection to your sshyp server to authenticate (otherwise it will
    fall back to standard unlock)
 - full support for offline usage
    ^ though sshyp could be used without a server before, it now can be configured to not attempt
    to find one ever - this saves time and hides sync failure error messages
 - bash completions have been added
    ^ if you have bash-completion installed, you can now use the tab key in bash to auto-complete
    sshyp arguments and entry names (client only, not added for server-specific arguments)
        ^ if you do not have bash-completion installed, you can source
        /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sshyp (Linux/BSD) or
        /boot/system/data/bash-completion/completions/sshyp (Haiku) in your ~/.bashrc to
        use this feature
 fixes/optimizations:
 - fixed entries with multi-word titles failing to decrypt
 - password generation is now much faster and more resource efficient
 - there is no longer a length limit on generated passwords
 - improved visual consistency of help menus
 - rarely used modules are now imported only when needed
 - sshyp now uses one fewer configuration file
 other notable changes:
 - sshyp is now specifically licensed under the GPL-3.0-only (keyword: only)
 - sshyp now has some possible arguments and its own help menu when running in server mode
 - temporary files in /dev/shm are now generated with more complex names
 - sshyp now installs in /usr/lib/sshyp (Linux/BSD) or /system/lib/sshyp (Haiku) instead of
 /usr/bin or /bin (it is still symlinked to the old directories)
