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

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!

sshyp 2022.02.16.fr4
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 "/"

This release is a hotfix for 2022.01.16.fr3.1. It fixes major bugs, including one massively impacting Termux.
Changes:
- sshyp now uses a symlink to the temporary storage directory, allowing for easy implementation of different temporary directories on different platforms
^ the first usage of this is enabling the use of temporary storage on Termux
- sshync now properly auto-generates its config directory
Additions planned for minor releases:
- updated the manpage with more information regarding how sshyp works and how to set it up
- ensured that it is now impossible for ghosts of entires to remain in /dev/shm
- reduced total lines of code with small optimizations
&&
Planned for next major update (fr4, The sshyp Doing a Split Update):
sshyp:
- sshyp has recieved a major visual overhaul
^ this includes the new file list and thematic text art
sshync:
- sshync has been split into a separate package and now has standalone functionality as a backup/syncing utility
^ more details will be available in the sshync repo, once it is created
&&
Planned for next, next major update (fr5, The Farmer Shearing the sshyp Update):
- allow for multi-client deletion... somehow (in sshync)
- when syncing, a check is made to see if any folders are not on all devices - if the check comes back true, it is corrected (in sshyp)
- imporove password generator to guarantee more secure results
- enforce permissions on the server-side
- allow for copying entire notes (not just first line)
- ability to pass entries as arguments for more functions
&&
Backlog:
- create separate gui frontend targetting mobile and desktop Linux
- auto-completion on tab (currently unsure of best way to make this work)
