2.9.0

Changes

• pssh.exceptions.ConnectionError is now the same as built-in ConnectionError and deprecated - to be removed.

• Clients now attempt to connect with all addresses in DNS list. In the case where an address refuses connection,
  other available addresses are attempted without delay.

  For example where a host resolves to both IPv4 and v6 addresses while only one address is
  accepting connections, or multiple v4/v6 addresses where only some are accepting connections.

• Connection actively refused error is no longer subject to retries.

Fixes

• scp_send in native clients would sometimes fail to send all data in a race condition with client going out of scope.

2.8.0

Changes

• All clients now support private key data as bytes in pkey parameter for authentication from in-memory private key
  data - #317.
• Parallel clients now read a provided private key path only once and use in-memory data for authentication to avoid
  reading same file multiple times, if a path is provided.

2.7.1

Fixes

• copy_file performance would be abnormally low when copying plain text files - 100x performance increase. Binary
  file copying performance has also increased.

2.7.0

Changes

• All clients now support IPv6 addresses for both DNS and IP entries in host list - #291
• Added ipv6_only flag to ParallelSSHClient and SSHClient for choosing only IPv6 addresses when both v4 and
  v6 are available.
• Removed Python 2 from binary wheel compatibility as it is no longer supported and not guaranteed to work.
• Host name is now an argument for all exceptions raised by single clients.

Fixes

• HostOutput would have empty host on some exceptions when stop_on_errors is False - #297
• Race condition when forcefully closing channel via SSHClient.close_channel while channel data was left unread.
