 # Installation
+**Important:** *Shell completions (both Bash and ZSH) may require additional configuration on some distributions - please see [this page](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp/wiki/Completions) of the wiki for support.*
+
 Please see the [installation guide](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp/wiki/Installation) in the sshyp wiki for directions specific to your distribution/OS.

 Pre-built packages exist for Haiku, FreeBSD, Alpine Linux, Arch Linux, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux, and Termux. These can be downloaded from the releases page.

-Requests for additional distribution/OS support can be filed as issues.
+Support for additional environments, such as MacOS and OpenBSD, is coming soon.

 Extensions are available in the [sshyp-labs](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs) repository.

-Bash completions can be enabled by installing your distribution's "bash-completion" package and restarting your terminal.

 # Building
-Since sshyp is written entirely in Python, it doesn't need to be compiled. It does, however, need to be packaged for installation.

+
+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)

+- 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.)
+- modularize code in preparation for GUI frontends
+
+Planned, no timeline:
+
+- create separate gui frontend targetting mobile devices (first Linux phones, maybe Android at a later date - official iOS client not likely)

-An fr2.1 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
- the argument parser will be moved to the global process (no need for it to be in a function)
- folders will be created natively in python
-
-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.

+
+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

+
+- 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

+
+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 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)
@@ -106,23 +106,21 @@ Client setup:
    Run "sshyp tweak" 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 v1.3.0
+sshyp v1.4.2
+04/30/2023

-the serious shepherd update
+the argumentative agronomist update - patch two

-this release ties up many of sshyp's loose ends where there was
-room for major performance, compatibility, and security improvements
+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)

-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
+this release makes use of a new ports framework to make sshyp even smaller and faster than before

 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
+- 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

-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
-
-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
+- 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
