+
+pronounced as: 'sheep', 'shēp'
+
+sshyp is a very simple self-hosted, synchronized password manager for UNIX(-like) systems (currently Haiku/FreeBSD/Linux).
+
+sshyp is compatible with entries created by pass/password-store, as its original goal was to be like pass/password-store, but far more user-friendly to synchronize with a self-hosted server.
+
+sshyp makes use of a custom sftp wrapper, called sshync (ssh+sync), to reliably sync user entries with a local or remote server.
+
+The name "sshyp" is a combination of its synchronization library, "sshync", and "passwords".
 
 # WARNING
 It is your responsibility to assess the security and stability of "sshyp" before using it and ensure it meets your needs.
 I am not responsible for any data loss or breaches of your information resulting from the use of "sshyp".
 "sshyp" is a new project that is constantly being updated, and though safety and security are priorities, they cannot be guaranteed.
 
+Always check the [known bugs](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp/wiki/Known-Bugs) list before updating or installing sshyp.

 # Mission Statement
 sshyp aims to make it as simple as possible to manage passwords and notes via CLI across multiple devices in a secure, self-hosted fashion.
 
@@ -16,92 +30,57 @@ What sshyp can do:
 
 - securely manage a collection of encrypted passwords and notes via CLI
 - generate new, secure passwords to the user's choice in length and complexity
-- securely sync said passwords and notes seamlessly between multiple POSIX compliant Unix devices
-
-What sshyp will do:
-
-- everything it already does, but also in a GUI for Linux/Android
-- have a distinct retro theme
-- receive many usability enhancements
-
-What sshyp definitely won't do:
-
-- 2FA/MFA (for security purposes, this should not be handled by your password manager)
-- Windows support (I don't use Windows and I have no interest in developing for it)
+- securely sync said passwords and notes seamlessly between devices (or just manage them offline)
+- utilize [extensions](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs) to interact with your entries is additional ways (such as generating TOTP keys or managing your entries in a GUI)
+- everything above with entries created by pass/password-store!
+- everything above on Haiku, FreeBSD, Linux, and Termux!
 
 # Installation
-Arch Linux (all ISAs)
+**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.*
 
-sshyp releases are available in the Arch User Repository as 'sshyp'.
+Please see the [installation guide](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp/wiki/Installation) in the sshyp wiki for directions specific to your distribution/OS.
 
-Install with your preferred AUR helper or use:
+Pre-built packages exist for Haiku, FreeBSD, Alpine Linux, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux, Termux, and WSL. These can be downloaded from the releases page.
 
-```
-git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/sshyp.git
-cd sshyp
-makepkg -si
-```
+Additionally, sshyp is distributed on the AUR.
 
-Pre-built packages exist for Arch, Debian, and Termux. These can be downloaded from the releases page.
+Extensions can be installed from the `sshyp tweak` menu on most supported platforms.
+
+For Haiku and Termux, extensions must instead be installed through the [system package manager](https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs/releases).
 
 # Building
-Since sshyp is written entirely in Python, it doesn't need to be compiled. It does, however, need to be packaged for installation.
-
 A packaging script is included in the root directory of the repo in order to package sshyp for your distribution. To package sshyp from source, simply run:
 
 ```
 git clone https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp.git
 cd sshyp
-./package.sh
+./package.sh [target] <revision>
 ```
 
-The packaging script has been tested on Arch Linux with dpkg as a dependency for Debian and Termux packaging.
+The packaging script has been tested on Arch Linux with "dpkg" as a dependency for Debian/Ubuntu/Termux packaging and "freebsd-pkg" as a dependency for FreeBSD packaging.
 
-The AUR version and the packages attatched to the release tags were already packaged using this script.
+Haiku and Fedora packaging must be done on their own respective distributions.
 
-Currently, the script can create packages for Arch (PKGBUILD), Debian, Termux, and generic. Packaging for other distributions coming soon.
+The AUR version and the packages attached to the release tags were already packaged using this script.
+
+Currently, the script can create packages for Haiku, FreeBSD, Alpine Linux (APKBUILD), Arch Linux (PKGBUILD), Debian/Ubuntu Linux, Fedora Linux, Termux, and WSL.
 
 # Usage
-Upon initial installation (on both the server and client devices), be sure to run:
+Upon initial installation (on both the server and client devices), run `sshyp init` to configure the settings necessary for sshyp to function.
 
-```
-sshyp tweak
-```
+In order to configure optional settings or change already configured settings, run `sshyp tweak`.
 
-This command will allow you to configure the settings necessary for sshyp to function.
-As of right now, sshyp is rapidly changing, and as such, it is a good idea to run "sshyp tweak" after each update.
+Please note that decrypting and reading entries is disabled on server devices for security reasons. Only devices configured as clients can use the GPG key to decrypt entries.
 
-Please note that decrypting and reading entries is disabled on server devices for security reasons. Only devices configured as clients can use the gpg key to decrypt entries.
-
-All available options can be found with:
-
-```
-sshyp --help

-
-Or alternatively, in the new manpage:
-
-```
-man sshyp
-```
+All available options can be found with `sshyp help`, or alternatively, in the man page.
 
 # Roadmap
 Short-term Goals:
 
-- create new file list w/color and w/o file extensions
-- overhaul argument system
-- fix lots of bugs!
-- make lots of optimizations!
-
-Medium-term Goals:
-
-- create minimal GUI apps (Linux x86_64, Linux aarch64)
-- auto-completion on tab for CLI version
+- implement a method for tracking how long it has been since a password has been changed (password aging)
+- find and fix more bugs
 
 Long-term Goals:
 
+- migrate from gpg to a better-suited utility focused on symmetric cipher encryption
 - seize the thrones, shear the humans
-
-# Known Issues
-
-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.

+sshyp 2021.12.01.fr2.2
+
+The Lighter Update - Patch 2
+
+This release is a hotfix for 2021.12.01.fr2.1.

+- a major fix for syncing functionality  (it should actually work now)
+- silenced some sftp output
+
+An fr2.3 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)

+- when syncing, a check will be made to see if any folders are not on all devices and this will be corrected
+
+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.

+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)
+    ^ in thoery, all syncing-related data loss should now be fixed, however, this new
+    system has just been created and is still under testing. Maybe wait for a few patches
+    before trusting this system.
+
+Changes:
+
+- branding has been updated to reflect new project name and goals
+- custom directories, custom ssh keys, and offline only mode are removed (may be temporary)
+    ^ the configuration wizard is being re-written in the next major update
+
+Planned for next update (The Fluffy Update):
+
+- modularized and optimized code
+    ^ some older, bad code from "rpass" will be re-written.
+- 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).

+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

+
+rpass 2021.10.07.mr5
+
+The Notetaker Update - Fifth main release of rpass
+
+This release overhauls the note-taking system and provides general improvements
+to overall code quality, including optimizations, bug fixes, and security improvements.
+
+New features:
+
+- notes are now edited in nano and can be split across multiple lines
+- password confirmation has been added for entry deletion
+
+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.)
+- 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)
+    ^ the gui will also function on desktop linux
+- make platform agnostic (add Windows support and package for more Linux distributions, such as Alpine and Debian)
+- auto-completion on tab (currently unsure of best way to make this work)

+rpass-2021.09.15.mr4
+
+The Housekeeping Update (Pt. 1) - Fourth main release of rpass
+
+This release focuses primarily on polishing rpass and tying up loose ends before

+rpass 2021.09.07.pr3.1
+
+The Sync and Foundations Update - Hotfix
+
+Changes:
+
+- gpg configuration now prompts for expiration, rather than defaulting to two years
+- rsync is now configured to not delete anything from any remote device when uploading
+    ^ this behavior may be modified in the future - this is a quick fix to prevent data loss

+
+rpass 2021.09.07.pr3
+
+The Sync and Foundations Update - Third public release of rpass.
+
+As of this version, rpass has its intended base set of features and is considered usable.

+cross-platform and to make it compatible with GUI frontends.
+
+New features:
+
+- rsync support!
+- new entry format with URL field (for future use)

+- properly comment the code
+
+Planned, no timeline:
+
+- allow to function as alternative to gnome keyring (libsecret integration)
+- create separate gui frontend targetting mobile devices (first linux phones, maybe android at a later date - official iOS client not likely)
+    ^ the gui will also function on desktop linux
+- make platform agnostic (add windows support and package for more Linux distributions)
+- ability to pass entries as arguments for more functions
+- auto-completion on tab (currently unsure of best way to make this work)

+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 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)
+

+
+sshyp v1.1.2
+
+the sheecrets update - patch two
+
+this is a general polish/bugfix release
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- packaging support for Alpine Linux/postmarketOS
+- the rename() function is no longer unnecessarily verbose
+- handled exception for when the user attempts to copy an entry field that does not exist
+
+fixes/optimizations:
+
+- replaced shebang with "#!/usr/bin/env python3" for improved compatibility with various systems
+    ^ does not affect Haiku packaging
+- fixed the generic package not actually being compressed
+- reduced lines of code used for cross-device entry deletion
+
+<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
+
+sshyp v1.1.1
+
+the sheecrets update - patch one
+
+this is a polish/bug fix release that makes tweaks to the entry format (without breaking compatibility)
+
+compatibility-breaking changes:
+
+- none; the entry format tweaks are backward compatible with sshyp v1.0.0+
+    ^ the new format is slightly more efficient in terms of storage space
+        ^ if you would like to upgrade to it, run this script (after updating to v1.1.1):
+          https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs/main/extra/conversion-scripts/sshyp-refresh-1.1.1%2B.py
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- entries (when editing or adding) are now run through the new optimized_edit() function to strip trailing new lines
+and ensure the format of the entries is fully compatible with all of sshyp's functions
+
+fixes:
+
+- when adding a note to an entry, there is no longer a chance the first note line will be added as a url
+if the entry is using an older format/pass format
+- the gpg auto-generation file temporarily created by sshyp no longer includes extra spaces
+    ^ seems to serve no functional purpose - fixed for the sake of polish
+
+<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
+
+sshyp v1.1.0
+
+the sheecrets update
+
+the main focus of this release was adding extension support (particularly for sshyp-mfa)
+and cleaning up the configuration experience
+
+compatibility-breaking changes:
+
+- the entry directory has been moved from ~/.password-pasture to ~/.local/share/sshyp
+as a means of complying with the XDG base directory spec
+    ^ this requires the user to move their entry directory to the new location manually
+        ^ if this is not done, sshyp will not be able to find entries made prior to v1.1.0
+- due to a new configuration option (preferred text editor), 'sshyp tweak' must be run after updating
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- extension support
+    ^ some of sshyp's critical functions can now be imported into other programs to extend
+    upon sshyp's functionality
+        ^ the first usecase of this is sshyp-mfa, which can be found at https://github.com/rwinkhart/sshyp-labs
+- a new configuration experience
+    ^ the 'sshyp tweak' menu has been made much more readable, and now the automatically generated
+    gpg key has its id automatically input, making the process easier for the user
+- customizable text editor
+    ^ the text editor used for editing notes can now be set to any editor preferred by the user
+        ^ this means that nano was dropped as a dependency
+
+fixes:
+
+- to avoid exceptions on server devices, all arguments (apart from 'tweak') have been disabled on servers
+- fixed entry readout not printing blank lines between fields under certain conditions
+- various optimizations

+
+sshyp v1.0.1
+
+The Polished Trotters Update - Patch 1
+
+This is a hotfix for the Haiku decryption bug.
+
+Changes:
+
+- subprocess.Popen has been replaced with subprocess.run where applicable
+- stdout is no longer captured with any subprocess.Popen or subprocess.run usages
+    ^ this fixes decryption on Haiku
+

+
+sshyp v1.0.0
+
+The Polished Trotters Update
+
+This release brings 'sshyp' in line with the original goals of the project.
+As such, it is being crowned "v1.0.0", and is considered a stable base for future expansions.
+
+Features:
+
+- sshyp has been modified to run on Haiku, an open-source re-implementation of BeOS
+    ^ new package formats have been added for Haiku, FreeBSD, and Fedora Linux
+- the entry format has been changed to support entries created in pass/password-store
+    ^ this change requires existing entry libraries to be converted - see the sshyp v1.0.0 release page on GitHub for a conversion script
+- majorly overhauled visual experience for sshyp
+    ^ this includes a new entry list, a new entry readout, colored output, ascii art, and more!
+- entries can now optionally be passed as arguments, directly
+    ^ as opposed to the user being prompted for an entry name after running a command
+
+Changes:
+
+- corrected outdated licensing and copyright information
+- 'if __name__=="__main__":' convention is now used
+- help screens have been overhauled
+- improved password generator to guarantee more secure results
+- fixed errors when trying to sync with a multi-word entry on the server
+- sshync now uses 'scp' (via the sftp protocol), rather than 'sftp'
+- rename function now properly allows for renaming folders
+- renaming an entry/folder will now properly delete the old entry/folder from the server
+- entry previews at the time of entry creation/editing no longer require entering the gpg password more times than necessary
+- entries will no longer be overwritten if attempting to create a new entry that uses an already existing name
+- the clipboard now automatically clears after 30 seconds
+- sshyp server no longer needs to create copies of its libraries in ~/
+- added more and improved existing exceptions
+- the lock file is now decrypted to /dev/null
+- ...and lots of minor (under the hood) changes!

+10/24/2023
+
+the fortified flock update - patch one
+
+this release fixes both long and short-standing bugs that managed to escape discovery in testing;
+it also addresses some issues that first-time users may be put-off by upon encountering
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- the clipboard is now only cleared if the contents of the clipboard still match what was placed onto it by sshyp
+    ^ this means that sshyp will no longer remove data from the clipboard that it did not place there
+- a warning/explanation is now provided when the user attempts to sync in offline mode
+- a readable error is now provided if the user attempts to edit a note and the specified text editor cannot be found
+- the optional configuration menu is now explained when encountered during "sshyp init"
+- the man page now includes common troubleshooting information
+
+fixes/optimizations:
+
+- custom, user-provided ssh keyfiles are now properly utilized in all cases
+    ^ previously, using custom ssh keyfiles would break various features
+- clipboard contents are no longer leaked via the process list on Wayland
+- interpolation has been disabled for ConfigParser, allowing "%" to be stored in configuration files
+- gpg keys with ":" or "\" in their names are now properly written to the configuration file
+- copy_id_check() and whitelist_verify() are now safely callable from extensions
+- the ssh key selection will no longer see "known_hosts.old" as a valid keyfile
+- when possible, data from the configuration file is now read as boolean values
+- the Haiku package has been updated to use Python 3.11

+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

+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

+(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

+    ^ ensure modern completions are enabled in your ~/.zshrc
+
+fixes/optimizations:

+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

+sshyp v1.5.2
+01/07/2024
+
+the fortified flock update - patch two
+
+this release focuses on fixing various bugs, crashes, and visual oddities;
+additionally, the new-user setup experience has been vastly improved
+
+compatibility-breaking changes:
+
+- this release is fully compatible with sshyp v1.5.0-v1.5.1
+- the minimum Python version has been raised from Python 3.7 to Python 3.8
+    ^ this was needed for the new device id changing behavior
+    ^ Python 3.7 no longer receives security updates, so this should have minimal impact
+    ^ please create an issue on GitHub if any Python version (3.8 or newer) does not work as intended
+
+user-facing features:
+
+- registered device ids can now be removed from the server tweak menu
+    ^ all device id menus now stay open until the user manually exits
+- changing a client's device id now attempts to automatically remove the previous id from the server
+- the extension downloader now supports showing multiple lines of usage information
+    ^ sshyp-mfa is taking advantage of this to display the info from the old man page
+- basic tweak/init menu text wrapping and terminal-resizing has been added
+    ^ the tweak/init radio menus now warn if the terminal needs to be resized to see all content;
+    this resizing can be done in real time without restarting sshyp (layout dynamically adjusts)
+    ^ this avoids crashes on large radio menus in small terminals (crashes are still possible, but
+    only on unreasonably small terminals - this will probably stay the way it is now)
+- ssh connections are no longer made from the init menu
+    ^ this is to give the user time to register their ssh pubkey with the server
+- the user is now warned that gpg key generation may take time and that sshyp should not be terminated
+- the user is now warned about risks associated with changing or removing active device ids
+- back buttons have been added to menus that were missing a safe way to exit
+
+fixes/optimizations:
+
+- quick-unlock has been fixed - invalid pins have been generated since v1.5.0
+    ^ if quick-unlock is not working for you, re-generate your pin after this update!
+- extension removal now works on Busybox environments (Alpine Linux)
+- instead of crashing with an unhelpful error, sshyp now warns if a valid pinentry program is not found (gpg)
+    ^ affects some Alpine Linux 3.19 base installs (pinentry does not always get installed with gpg)
+- a recursive curses.wrapper() function is no longer used (fixes menu crash on Alpine Linux 3.19)
+    ^ the new method of transitioning menus is more efficient on all platforms
+- the wl-paste empty clipboard warning is no longer shown when multiple copies are done within 30 seconds (Wayland)
+- quotes are no longer copied to the Termux clipboard on clear
+- the entry reader and entry list should now be more visible in light terminals
+    ^ in testing, I noticed some solarized dark themes bind color 8 to the same color as the terminal background,
+    leading to some invisible text - this will not be fixed (unless custom accent colors are added), as
+    I believe this is poor theme design and the fault of the particular solarized dark themes I tested
+- entry list text wrapping has been vastly improved
+    ^ better utilization of full terminal width
+    ^ less prone to splitting entry names in half (should be impossible now)
+    ^ no longer crashes on small terminals
+- multi-word device ids can now verify via quick-unlock
+- various language standardization changes
+    ^ all back buttons in menus are now named "BACK"
+    ^ all mentions of device ids are now referred to as "ids", rather than "names"
+    ^ various non-user-facing variable renamings have also been made
+- various menu helptext have been made more clear
+    ^ this includes quick-unlock configuration, ssh configuration, device id configuration, and more

 .SH NAME
-sshyp \- A very simple self-hosted, synchronized password manager. Alternative to GNU pass. 
+\fBsshyp\fR - Simple, self-hosted, synchronized password management for UNIX(-like) systems. Alternative to (and compatible with) pass/password-store.
 .SH SYNOPSIS
-sshyp [OPTION] [[FLAG]] [/<entry name>]
+Client Usage: sshyp [/<entry name> [argument] [option]] | [argument]
+
+Server Usage: sshyp <argument>
 .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 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, the ssh server was not installed as a dependency and needs to be installed manually)
+    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, configure a quick-unlock pin from the tweak menu
     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
+    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, 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.
+.SH TROUBLESHOOTING
+.B Clipboard not clearing:
+
+    The intended way for sshyp to interact with the system clipboard is for it to clear it 30 seconds after copying a field. Unfortunately, this does not work by default on all systems due to the prevalence of clipboard managers.
+
+    Clipboard managers save a history of what has been copied to the clipboard, which is already a big enough issue on its own for people who copy sensitive information to their clipboard. Some clipboard managers simply will not allow the clipboard to be empty and will replace its contents with the last copied item if you attempt to clear it. One such naughty clipboard manager is KDE Klipper, which comes packaged into KDE Plasma and is typically enabled by default on most distributions. Due to this behavior, KDE Klipper breaks sshyp's clipboard clearing functionality and should not be left enabled.
+
+    It is likely other popular clipboard managers exhibit this behavior as well (Klipper is just the one I first noticed it with). Clipboard managers should not be enabled by default in any environment or distribution due to their potential security implications.
+
+.B Shell completions not working:
+    ZSH:
+        Make sure your ~/.zshrc contains the following:
+            autoload -Uz compinit && compinit
+        Restart your shell
+
+    Bash:
+        Install your distribution's 'bash-completion' package and restart your shell
+            OR
+        Source the completion script manually by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc (then restart your shell):
+                Linux:
+                    source /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/sshyp
+                FreeBSD:
+                    source /usr/local/share/bash-completion/completions/sshyp
+                Haiku:
+                    source /system/data/bash-completion/completions/sshyp
+
+.SH EXIT CODES
+0 - no error
+
+1 - configuration error
+
+2 - data not found error
+
+3 - data already exists error
+
+4 - decryption/encryption error
+
+5 - server connection error
+
+6 - other error
