+  [tests] Try several times to connect the ssh server
+  
+  Sometimes, as the OCI container is run in detached mode, it is possible
+  the actual server is not ready yet to handle SSH traffic. The goal of
+  this PR is to try several times (max 3). The mechanism is the same as
+  for the connection to the docker machine.

+
+  Remove openssh_server container on test exit
+
+- [Laurent Stacul brought this change]
+
+  Allow the tests to run inside a container
+  
+  The current tests suite starts SSH server as OCI container. This commit
+  add the possibility to run the tests in a container provided that:
+  
+  * the docker client is installed builder container
+  * the host docker daemon unix socket has been mounted in the builder
+    container (with, if needed, the DOCKER_HOST environment variable
+    accordingly set, and the permission to write on this socket)
+  * the builder container is run on the default bridge network, or the
+    host network. This PR does not handle the case where the builder
+    container is on another network.

+- CI/appveyor: run SSH server for tests on GitHub Actions (#607)
+  
+  No longer rely on DigitalOcean to host the Docker container.
+  
+  Unfortunately we require a small dispatcher script that has
+  access to a GitHub access token with scope repo in order to
+  trigger the daemon workflow on GitHub Actions also for PRs.
+  
+  This script is hosted by myself for the time being until GitHub
+  provides a tighter scope to trigger the workflow_dispatch event.

+  agent.c: Add support for Windows OpenSSH agent (#517)
+  
+  Files: agent.c, agent.h, agent_win.c
+  
+  Notes:
+  * agent: Add support for Windows OpenSSH agent
+  
+  The implementation was partially taken and modified from that found in
+  the Portable OpenSSH port to Win32 by the PowerShell team, but mostly
+  based on the existing Unix OpenSSH agent support.
+  
+  https://github.com/PowerShell/openssh-portable
+  
+  Regarding the partial transfer support implementation: partial transfers
+  are easy to deal with, but you need to track additional state when
+  non-blocking IO enters the picture. A tracker of how many bytes have
+  been transfered has been placed in the transfer context struct as that's
+  where it makes most sense. This tracker isn't placed behind a WIN32
+   #ifdef as it will probably be useful for other agent implementations.
+  
+  * agent: win32 openssh: Disable overlapped IO
+  
+  Non-blocking IO is not currently supported by the surrounding agent
+  code, despite a lot of the code having everything set up to handle it.

+
+  Fix _libssh2_random() silently discarding errors (#520)
+  
+  Notes:
+  * Make _libssh2_random return code consistent
+  
+  Previously, _libssh2_random was advertized in HACKING.CRYPTO as
+  returning `void` (and was implemented that way in os400qc3.c), but that
+  was in other crypto backends a lie; _libssh2_random is (a macro
+  expanding) to an int-value expression or function.
+  
+  Moreover, that returned code was:
+    — 0 or success, -1 on error for the MbedTLS & WinCNG crypto backends
+  But also:
+    — 1 on success, -1 or 0 on error for the OpenSSL backend!
+    – 1 on success, error cannot happen for libgcrypt!
+  
+  This commit makes explicit that _libssh2_random can fail (because most of
+  the underlying crypto functions can indeed fail!), and it makes its result
+  code consistent: 0 on success, -1 on error.
+  
+  This is related to issue #519 https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/issues/519
+  It fixes the first half of it.
+  
+  * Don't silent errors of _libssh2_random
+  
+  Make sure to check the returned code of _libssh2_random(), and
+  propagates any failure.
+  
+  A new LIBSSH_ERROR_RANDGEN constant is added to libssh2.h
+  None of the existing error constants seemed fit.
+  
+  This commit is related to d74285b68450c0e9ea6d5f8070450837fb1e74a7
+  and to https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/issues/519 (see the issue
+  for more info.)  It closes #519.

+- wincng: fix random big number generation to match openssl
+  
+  The old function would set the least significant bits in
+  the most significant byte instead of the most significant bits.
+  
+  The old function would also zero pad too much bits in the
+  most significant byte. This lead to a reduction of key space
+  in the most significant byte according to the following listing:
+  - 8 bits reduced to 0 bits => eg. 2048 bits to 2040 bits DH key
+  - 7 bits reduced to 1 bits => eg. 2047 bits to 2041 bits DH key
+  - 6 bits reduced to 2 bits => eg. 2046 bits to 2042 bits DH key
+  - 5 bits reduced to 3 bits => eg. 2045 bits to 2043 bits DH key
+  
+  No change would occur for the case of 4 significant bits.
+  For 1 to 3 significant bits in the most significant byte
+  the DH key would actually be expanded instead of reduced:
+  - 3 bits expanded to 5 bits => eg. 2043 bits to 2045 bits DH key
+  - 2 bits expanded to 6 bits => eg. 2042 bits to 2046 bits DH key
+  - 1 bits expanded to 7 bits => eg. 2041 bits to 2047 bits DH key
+  
+  There is no case of 0 significant bits in the most significant byte
+  since this would be a case of 8 significant bits in the next byte.
+  
+  At the moment only the following case applies due to a fixed
+  DH key size value currently being used in libssh2:
+  
+  The DH group_order is fixed to 256 (bytes) which leads to a
+  2047 bits DH key size by calculating (256 * 8) - 1.
+  
+  This means the DH keyspace was previously reduced from 2047 bits
+  to 2041 bits (while the top and bottom bits are always set), so the
+  keyspace is actually always reduced from 2045 bits to 2039 bits.
+  
+  All of this is only relevant for Windows versions supporting the
+  WinCNG backend (Vista or newer) before Windows 10 version 1903.

+  
+  File: openssl.c, openssl.h, crypto.h, kex.c
+  
+  Notes:
+  This cleans up a few things in the curve25519 implementation:
+  
+  - There is no need to create X509_PUBKEYs or PKCS8_PRIV_KEY_INFOs to
+    extract key material. EVP_PKEY_get_raw_private_key and
+    EVP_PKEY_get_raw_public_key work fine.
+  
+  - libssh2_x25519_ctx was never used (and occasionally mis-typedefed to
+    libssh2_ed25519_ctx). Remove it. The _libssh2_curve25519_new and
+    _libssh2_curve25519_gen_k interfaces use the bytes. Note, if it needs
+    to be added back, there is no need to roundtrip through
+    EVP_PKEY_new_raw_private_key. EVP_PKEY_keygen already generated an
+    EVP_PKEY.

+- wincng: try newer DH API first, fallback to legacy RSA API

+  
+  This commit makes the WinCNG backend first try to use the

+  buildsystem: drop custom buildconf script, rely on autoreconf (#224)
+  
+  Notes:
+  The buildconf script is currently required, because we need to copy a
+  header around, because it is used both from the library and the examples
+  sources.
+  
+  However, having a custom 'buildconf'-like script is not needed if we can
+  ensure that the header exists by the time it is needed. For that, we can
+  just append the src/ directory to the headers search path for the
+  examples.
+  
+  And then it means we no longer need to generate the same header twice,
+  so we remove the second one from configure.ac.
+  
+  Now, we can just call "autoreconf -fi" to generate the autotools files,
+  instead of relying on the canned sequence in "buildconf", since
+  autoreconf has now long known what to do at the correct moment (future
+  versions of autotools, automake, autopoint, autoheader etc... may
+  require an other ordering, or other intermediate steps, etc...).
+  
+  Eventually, get rid of buildconf now it is no longer needed. In fact, we
+  really keep it for legacy, but have it just call autoreconf (and print a
+  nice user-friendly warning). Don't include it in the release tarballs,
+  though.
+  
+  Update doc, gitignore, and travis-CI jobs accordingly.

-  LIBSSH2_DEBUG: macro uses incorrect function variable
-  
-  The LIBSSH2_DEBUG macro, defined in libssh2_priv.h, incorrectly uses the
-  function variable ssh_msg_disconnect when it should use ssh_msg_debug.
-  
-  This shows that the LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_DEBUG callback never has worked...
-
-- warning: fix a compiler warning 'pointer differs in signedness'
-  
-  As reported in bug #177
-
-- portability: introduce LIBSSH2_INT64_T_FORMAT for 64bit printf()s
-  
-  As pointed out in bug #177, some of the Windows compilers use
-  %I64 to output 64 bit variables with the printf family.
-
-- debug: avoid sending NULL to sprintf %s
-  
-  Via the _libssh2_debug() macro/function. Pointed out by john in bug report
-
-- sftp docs: show macro on macro page, only function on function page
-  
-  The individual man pages for macros now show the full convenience
-  macro as defined, and then the man page for the actual function
-  only shows the function.

-
-- SFTP: limit write() to not produce overly large packets
-  
-  sftp_write() now limits how much data it gets at a time even more
-  than before. Since this function creates a complete outgoing
-  packet based on what gets passed to it, it is crucial that it
-  doesn't create too large packets.
-  
-  With this method, there's also no longer any problem to use very
-  large buffers in your application and feed that to libssh2. I've
-  done numerous tests now with uploading data over SFTP using 100K
-  buffers and I've had no problems with that.
-
-- scp_write_nonblock: add transfer time info
-  
-  Using the same timing logic and output format as
-  sftp_write_nonblock allows us to very easily run benchmarks on
-  SCP vs SFTP uploads using libssh2.
-
-- sftp_write_nonblock: select() on socket, use *BIG* buffer, time transfer
-  
-  The select() is just to make it nicer so that it doesn't
-  crazy-loop on EAGAIN. The buffer size thing is mostly to verify
-  that this really work as supposed.
-  
-  Transfer timing is just a minor thing, but it can just as well be
-  there and help us time and work on performance easier using out
-  of the box examples.
-
-- agent: use _libssh2_error() when returning errors
-  
-  As pointed out in bug report #173, this module basically never
-  used _libssh2_error() which made it work inconstently with other
-  parts of the libssh2 code base. This is my first take at making
-  this code more in line with the rest.
-
-- inputchecks: make lots of API functions check for NULL pointers
-  
-  If an application accidentally provides a NULL handle pointer to
-  the channel or sftp public functions, they now return an error
-  instead of segfaulting.
-
-- libssh2_channel_eof: clarify that it returns negative on errors
-
-- SFTP: keep the sftp error code as 32 bit
-  
-  'last_errno' holds to the error code from the SFTP protocol and
-  since that is 32 bits on the wire there's no point in using a
-  long for this internally which is larger on some platforms.
-
-- agent: make the code better deal with unexpected code flows
-  
-  agent->ops gets initialized by the libssh2_agent_connect() call
-  but we need to make sure that we don't segfault even if a bad
-  sequence of function calls is used.
-

-- Better handling of invalid key files.
-  
-  Passing an invalid public key to libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile_ex
-  triggered an assertion.  Replaced this with a runtime check that rejects
-  obviously invalid key data.

-- SFTP: fail init SFTP if session isn't authenticated
-  
-  Alexander Lamaison filed bug #172
-  (http://trac.libssh2.org/ticket/172), and pointed out that SFTP
-  init would do bad if the session isn't yet authenticated at the
-  time of the call, so we now check for this situation and returns
-  an error if detected. Calling sftp_init() at this point is bad
-  usage to start with.
-
-- direct_tcpip: bring back inclusion of libssh2_config.h
-  
-  In order to increase portability of this example, I'm bringing
-  the inclusion of libssh2_config.h back, and I also added an
-  require that header for this example to compile.
-  
-  I also made all code lines fit within 80 columns.

-- removed MSVC ifdef since seems we can use __int64 still with latest headers.
-
-- changed copyright notice for MinW32 and NetWare binaries.
-
-- cleaned up MSVC ifdefs which where spreaded over 3 places.
-
-- added uint8_t typedef for NetWare CLIB platform.
-
-- if the function declaration gets changed the header should be changed too.
-
-- this is MSVC specific and doesnt apply for all Win32 compilers;

-- statvfs: use libssh2_sftp_statvfs only, no "_ex"
-  
-  As the long-term goal is to get rid of the extensive set of
-  macros from the API we can just as well start small by not adding
-  new macros when we add new functions. Therefore we let the
-  function be libssh2_sftp_statvfs() plainly without using an _ex
-  suffix.
-  
-  I also made it use size_t instead of unsigned int for the string
-  length as that too is a long-term goal for the API.

-  number in its own right so this commit changes the magic value to any
-  negative int.

-- knownhost: support [host]:port in knownhost file
-  
-  OpenSSH has ways to add hosts to the knownhosts file that include
-  a specific port number which makes the key associated with only
-  that specific host+port pair. libssh2 previously did not support
-  this, and I was forced to add a new function to the API to
-  properly expose this ability to applications:
-  libssh2_knownhost_checkp()
-  
-  To *add* such hosts to the knownhosts file, you make sure to pass
-  on the host name in that manner to the libssh2_knownhost_addc()
-  function.
-
-- init/exit: mention these were added in 1.2.5
-
-- libssh2_knownhost_check docs: correct the prototype
-
-- examples: avoid use of uninitialized variable 'sock'
-
-- KEX: stop pretending we negotiate language
-  
-  There was some stub-like parts of an implementation for
-  implementing kex language negotiation that caused clang-analyzer
-  to warn and as it did nothing I've now removed the dead code.
-
-- Uninitialized argument

-- sftpdir: removed dead assignment
-
-- Makefile.am: include the VMS-specific config header as well

-- fix Value stored to 's' is never read warning
-  
-  and moved variable declaration of s to be more local

-  fourth increment of 's'.

-- publickey_init: remove useless variable increment
-
-- hostkey_method_ssh_rsa_init: remove useless variable increment
-
-- packet_x11_open: removed useless variable increment
-  
-  and made the declaration of a variable more local
-
-- packet_queue_listener: removed useless variable increment
-  
-  and made the declaration of a variable more local
-
-- sftp_read: move a read_responses array to where its used
-  
-  I find that this increases readability since the array is used
-  only in the function call just immediately below and nowhere
-  else.
-
-- sftp_readdir: turn a small array static const and move it
-
-- sftp_attrsize: converted function to a macro
-  
-  This way, the macro can evaluate a static number at compile time
-  for two out of four uses, and it probably runs faster for the
-  other two cases too.
-
-- sftp_open: deal with short channel_write calls
-  
-  This was an old TODO that just wasn't done before. If
-  channel_write returns short, that is not an error.
-
-- sftp_open: clean up, better check of input data
-  
-  The clang-analyzer report made it look into this function and
-  I've went through it to remove a potential use of an
-  uninitialized variable and I also added some validation of input
-  data received from the server.
-  
-  In general, lots of more code in this file need to validate the
-  input before assuming it is correct: there are servers out there
-  that have bugs or just have another idea of how to do the SFTP
-  protocol.
-
-- bugfix: avoid using the socket if it failed to create one
-
-- bugfix: potential use of NULL pointer
-
-- libssh2_userauth_password_ex: clarify errors somewhat
-  
-  The errors mentioned in this man page are possible return codes
-  but not necessarily the only return codes that this can return.
-  
-  Also reformatted the typ prototypes somewhat.
-
-- examples: fixed and made them more similar
-  
-  The channel read/write functions can return 0 in legitimate cases
-  without it being an error, and we need to loop properly if they
-  return short.

-
-  VMS port of libssh2; changes in the libssh2 common code
-
-- Makefile: added the two news headers userauth.h and session.h
-
-- cleanup: prefer the internal functions
-  
-  To get the blocking vs non-blocking to work as smooth as possible
-  and behave better internally, we avoid using the external
-  interfaces when calling functions internally.
-  
-  Renamed a few internal functions to use _libssh2 prefix when not
-  being private within a file, and removed the libssh2_ for one
-  that was private within the file.
-
-- session_free: remove dead code
-
-- libssh2_publickey_init: fixed to work better non-blocking
-  
-  This was triggered by a clang-analyzer complaint that turned out
-  to be valid, and it made me dig deeper and fix some generic non-
-  blocking problems I disovered in the code.
-  
-  While cleaning this up, I moved session-specific stuff over to a
-  new session.h header from the libssh2_priv.h header.
-
-- channel: reduce duplicated free and returns
-  
-  Simplified the code by trying to free data and return on a single
-  spot.
-
-- channel: make variables more local
-  
-  By making 'data' and 'data_len' more local in several places in
-  this file it will be easier to spot how they are used and we'll
-  get less risks to accidentally do bad things with them.

-- channel_request_pty: simplify the code
-  
-  clang-analyzer pointed out how 'data' could be accessed as a NULL
-  pointer if the wrong state was set, and while I don't see that
-  happen in real-life the code flow is easier to read and follow by
-  moving the LIBSSH2_FREE() call into the block that is supposed to
-  deal with the data pointer anyway.
-
-- libssh2_channel_process_startup: simplify the code
-  
-  clang-analyzer pointed out how 'data' could be accessed as a NULL

-  deal with the data pointer anyway.
-
-- sftp_close_handle: add precation to not access NULL pointer
-  
-  clang-analyzer pointed this out as a "Pass-by-value argument in
-  function call is undefined" but while I can't see exactly how
-  this can ever happen in reality I think a little check for safety
-  isn't such a bad thing here.
