v1.1.2

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

v1.1.1

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):

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

v1.1.0

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

v1.0.1

Note: If coming from a release older than v1.0.0, this release requires the use of a conversion script to convert your existing entries to work with the new version. Simply run the script and your entries will be converted (with older entries being backed up to ~/.password-pasture.old).

Note: If coming from a release older than v1.0.0, this release requires the configuration sshyp tweak to be re-done.

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

v1.0.0

Note: This release has made changes to the entry format, and thus REQUIRES the use of a conversion script to convert your existing entries to work with the new version (if coming from fr4.7 or older). Simply run the script and your entries will be converted (with older entries being backed up to ~/.password-pasture.old). The script is also attached below for your convenience.

Note: Upgrading from releases older than 1.0.0rc2 requires the configuration ("sshyp tweak") to be re-done, as the configuration process has changed.

sshyp v1.0.0

The Polished Trotters Update - Stable Release

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!

v2022.02.16.fr4.7

Note: Upgrading from releases older than fr4.7 requires the configuration ("sshyp tweak") to be re-done, as the configuration process has changed.

sshyp 2022.02.16.fr4.4

The High-Tech Shears Update - Patch 4

This release automatically generates user-created folders on new client devices.

Features:

• implemented proper folder syncing for new clients and clients missing folders that exist server-side

Changes:

• old device names are now automatically deleted (locally) when running "sshyp tweak", to prevent conflicts

• added in user-facing messages for when folders are being synced or entries are being removed
• fixed a typo preventing folder syncing from working (actually tested this time)

v2022.02.16.fr4.3

sshyp 2022.02.16.fr4

The High-Tech Shears Update (Stable as of fr4.3)

This release adds in a major feature: multi-client deletion (details below)

Note: Upgrading to releases in the fr4 series 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 "/"

Changes:

• sshync now correctly uses the auto-generated SSH key in all operations
• an exception has been added for attempting to delete/shear a file that does not exist
• the manpage has been updated and now includes setup instructions

v2022.01.17.fr3.3

sshyp 2022.01.17.fr3.3

The Boxing Update - Patch 3

This release is a hotfix for 2022.01.16.fr3.2. It fixes major bugs, especially with Termux.

Note: This is the first build that should be generally usable with Termux (Android). Some bugs are expected, but the most obvious issues should now be resolved.

Changes:

• the temporary directory for Termux is now sym-linked with its full path (no longer dangling)
• the copy function can now properly detect if Termux is being used
• ~/.config is created, if it does not already exist
• "sshyp shear" now functions again, as a bug with the lock file has been fixed
• 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

v2022.01.16.fr3.2

sshyp 2022.01.16.fr3.2

The Boxing Update - Patch 2

This release is a hotfix for 2022.01.16.fr3.1. It fixes major bugs, including one massively impacting Termux.

Note: Termux support can still be considered alpha. Crucial features (such as syncing and reading entries) and confirmed to still be broken as of this release. The fr3.x series is mostly dedicated to improving Termux support.

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
