+
+The High-Tech Shears Update
+
+This release adds in a major feature: multi-client deletion (details below)
+
+Note: This release requires the configuration ("sshyp tweak") to be re-done, as a device name now must be set (for multi-client deletion).
+
+Features:
+
+- added multi-client deletion
+    ^ this means that when an entry is deleted from one client (and thus the server), if another client that has a copy of the deleted entry tries to sync, instead of re-uploading the deleted entry, it will now also have its entry deleted.
+    ^ the current implementation requires a new Python script in addition to sshyp and sshync
+
+Changes:
+
+- fixed an issue where sshyp would use the wrong SSH key when trying to delete entries from or create folders on the server
+    ^ this is a fix that was recently applied to sshync - turns out I made the same mistake in sshyp
+- deleting folders should now work properly with "sshyp shear" if the directory is entered with a following "/"

+
+The Boxing Update - Patch 3
+
+This release is a hotfix for 2022.01.16.fr3.2. It fixes major bugs, especially with Termux.
+
+Changes:
+
+- the temporary directory for Termux is now sym-linked with its full path (no longer dangling)

+- sshync -should- now properly detect the database file on all platforms (was broken on Termux)
+- total lines of code have been slightly reduced with various small optimizations
+

-.SH BUGS
-This is more of a current limitation than a bug, but:
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+The following limitations will be corrected in future updates:
 
-Currently, if multiple clients are connected to a single server and a client deletes an entry, the entry is correctly deleted from the client and the server, but since the entry still exists on the other client, the next time it syncs the file will be re-uploaded. This will be fixed in an upcoming release of the syncing backend, sshync.
+    Currently, folders (for sorting) are not replicated onto new clients (they need to be manually created before syncing).
+
+    Currently, the entry list displays each entry with the file extension ".gpg" visible (which you do not type when reading, modifying, or creating an entry). This will be corrected when the new entry list is added.
+
+The following characters/character sequences are not supported in entry/folder titles:
+    @   ^&*
+.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.
+
+Server setup:
+    Configure an openssh server (if sshyp was installed from the Debian package, the ssh server was not installed as a dependency and needs to 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
+    Done!
+
+Client setup:
+    Install sshyp
+    Run "sshyp tweak" and follow the prompts
+    Copy the generated public SSH key to the server using preferred method (manually adding to authorized_keys, ssh-copy-id, etc.)
+    **this step will be automated in the future: if an entry library already exists on the server, make sure to manually recreate any folders that exist on the server in the ~/.password-pasture directory
+    If you already have entries on the server, sync them using "sshyp sync"
+    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.
