v0.2.0

Upgrading from 0.1.x

Three things behave differently. Read these before your next window.

• Host keys are checked. The first connect to a device records its SSH key. If the key later changes, mw refuses to connect before it sends your password. After you replace or re-image a device, pass --accept-new-host-key <host>. mw keeps its own file and never touches ~/.ssh/known_hosts.
• Old SSH algorithms are off. A device that offers only SHA-1 or CBC, such as 3des-cbc, now needs --legacy-algorithms.
• Exit codes mean something. 0 is every device captured, 1 is some, 2 is none. A wrapper script that ignored the exit code can now stop on a bad capture.

What's fixed

Before	Now
A device lost after the change was left out of the report	It's listed first, rated Action Required
SUCCESS printed even when logins failed	INCOMPLETE, a summary line, and a real exit code
A bad password was tried on every device	The run stops at the first rejected password
A timeout could shift later answers onto the wrong command	The rest of that device is marked skipped
Some secret formats survived -r	More formats covered, and private keys removed

The report still matches the Python tool, prepost-check, byte for byte.

Tested on real Arista EOS and Palo Alto PAN-OS, from Windows and Linux. Cisco and Juniper have only met a test server, so try one device of each first.
