openssh unix dev - Aug 2000 - ANNOUNCE: x11-ssh-askpass v1.0.1

x11-ssh-askpass version 1.0.1 is now available from the following
locations:

  http://www.jmknoble.cx/software/x11-ssh-askpass/
  http://www.ntrnet.net/~jmknoble/software/x11-ssh-askpass/

x11-ssh-askpass is a passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH
(www.openssh.com) under the X Window System.

The important changes since version 1.0 are as follows:

  - Bugfixes:
  
    - If the keyboard or pointer grab failed, the fprintf() call
      explaining why was missing the argument containing the reason.
      Thanks to Daniel Packman <pack at mop2.eos.ucar.edu>.

    - Portability fixes to Imakefile.  Thanks to Charles Levert
      <charles at comm.polymtl.ca>.

    - Invoking x11-ssh-askpass with a single X11 toolkit argument on
      the command line would cause the program to crash.  Fixed.

  - Now includes a manual page.  Thanks to Matthieu Herrb
    <matthieu at laas.fr> of the OpenBSD project.  Note that an additional
    step ('make install.man') is required in order to install the
    manual page.

[Note to Matthieu: I'm sending corrections and additions to the manual
 page in a separate message.]
