2004-3-26 Brian Masney <[e-mail]> * lib/ftps.c lib/gftp.h lib/rfc959.c - when reestablishing a connection to a FTPS host, make sure the initial commands are sent over in plaintext * lib/protocols.c - make sure the port is displayed to the user in the proper byte order when getaddrinfo() is not included on the system * lib/misc.c (gftp_copy_request) - make sure req->init is not NULL before attempting to initialize the new request structure. This fixes a segfault that happened when viewing/editing a local file (from Chelban Vasile <[e-mail]>) * docs/website/generate-gftp-website.pl - updated the STABLE_I386DEB filename * docs/website/index.html.in - updated the main website * docs/website/announce.txt - announcement for the 2.0.17 release

I am pleased to announce the availability of gFTP 2.0.17. Here is a summarized
list of changes since version 2.0.16. For a full list of changes, please see
the ChangeLog file that is included with the source distribution.

* Separated out more of the UI independent code in the GTK+ and Text ports and
  created a user interface common repository. Cleaned up some of the existing
  GTK+ code. The GTK+ port can now be controlled from a command line interface
  in the GUI. There is an option you have to enable in the options dialog for
  this. (enable manual commands in GUI)
* Added support for the FTPS protocol. The control connection is the only
  one encrypted at the moment.
* When viewing/editing a file, the temporary file that is created is created
  with the same extension as the remote file so that syntax highlighting works
* File transfers can be resumed/skipped/overwritten in the text port and
  whenever files are dropped on gftp in the GTK+ port.
* FTP: Added support for MVS directory listings
* FTP: Fix for FXP transfers
* SSH2: fix for resuming uploads
* Added option to show the transfer status in the title bar.
* Added option to disable IPV6 support.
* Fixed the wrong date being displayed when a file was modified last year
* 64 bit cleanups. This also fixed a SSH segfault that was happening on
  FreeBSD
* Look for the .gmo translation files in the proper directory
* If a bookmark-ed site has it's password saved in the config file, then the
  passwords are written out in a scrambled format. This isn't secure, but
it'll
  prevent someone from casually looking over your shoulder and seeing your
  password. I still do not recommend saving your passwords to disk.
* Fix for systems that do not support the %'ld format argument
* The startup directory option is now expanded so that an option like
  ~/src can be specified
* New language translations and updates (ca cs de ga hr hu nl pt_BR sr sr@Latn
  ta th)
* Many other small changes and improvements. See the ChangeLog file in the
  distribution for a detailed list of changes.
