Net::SFTP is an implementation of SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), versions 1-5. It is dependent upon the Net::SSH library.
This release fixes problems with the implementation of version 4 of the SFTP protocol. Specifically:
* "Name" packets were not being parsed correctly
* The implementation of the "open" operation in v4 should have been in v5 (v4 uses the same implementation as v1-3)
As more and more SFTP servers begin using versions of the protocol greater than 3, more issues may be discovered. Please report them as soon as you encounter them. (Net::SFTP was only properly tested with SFTP version 3--server implementations of versions greater than 3 were hard to find at the time.)
