 ## Version 9.x Changes
 
+-   Fix bug in `end()` method where it was possible for the module to attempt calling the underlying ssh2 `end()` method when ssh2 has not been initialised. This could lead to undefined reference errors.
+-   Fix bug in `get()` method where supplied destination streams were not close, creating a possible resource leak. If the remote file did not exist, the method would return an error, but failed to close any passed in stream supplied as the destination for the data in the `get()` call.
+-   Change the default end and close handlers not to throw error or reject promises. Previously, an end or close event would cause an error to be raised or a promise to be rejected if the event was deemed to be *unexpected*. However, classification of events as being unexpected was unreliable and didn't add much real value. Both these handlers will now invalidate the sftp connection object and log that the event fired and nothing else.
+-   Changed when event handled flags are reset. Now they are reset after a new set of temporary listeners are added.
+-   Don't throw an error when calling end() if there is no active sftp connection. It does no harm to call end() when there is no connection, so no need to raise an error.
+-   Use nullish coalescing when setting retry parameters instead of or'ing with defaults. Allows setting values to 0.
+-   **Breaking Change**: This version uses syntax not supported in node versions prior to v14. Therefore, node versions less than v14 will not work.
 -   **Breaking Change**: This `list()` method no longer accepts a regular expression for filtering the entries to be returned. You can now specify a filter function instead. The function is called for each item in the list of items to be returned, passing in the item object as its only argument. Essentially, this is just a call to `Array.filter()`, so the filter function should behave in the same way i.e. return true for items to be retained and false for those to be dropped.
 -   **Breaking Change**: The ability to set `autoClose` on read and write streams and the ability to set `end` on `pipe` operations has been removed. These options caused confusion for users and were too easy to get wrong, plus it made the methods overly complicated. For those use-cases where you want to control streams at a low level, two new methods have been added, `createReadStream()` and `createWriteStream()`. However, it should be noted that client code is 100% responsible for managing streams obtained using these methods. Use at your own risk!
 -   **Breaking Change**: The 3rd argument to `uploadDir()` and `downloadDir()` methods has been change. Previously, the argument was a filter function used to select which directories and files to be transferred. The 3rd argument is now an options object with two supported properties, `filter` and `useFastput` (for `uploadDir()`) or `useFastget` (for `downloadDir()`). If `useFastput` is true, the `fastPut()` method will be pused to upload files. If `false` or missing, the slower, but better supported, `put()` method will be used. Likewise, the `useFastget` options can be set to `true` to use the `fastGet()` method for donwloading files, otherwise the slower, but more reliable, `get()` method will be used.

 One way to determine whether an issue you are encountering is due to `ssh2-sftp-client` or due to the remote server or server platform is to use a simple CLI sftp program, such as openSSH's sftp command. If you observe the same behaviour using plain `sftp` on the command line, the issue is likely due to server or remote platform limitations. Note that you should not use a GUI sftp client, like `Filezilla` or `winSCP` as such GUI programs often attempt to hide these server and platform incompatibilities and will take additional steps to simulate missing functionality etc. You want to use a CLI program which does as little as possible.

+## Issues with `fastPut()` and `fastGet()` Methods
+
+The `fastPut()` and `fastGet()` methods are known to be somewhat dependent on SFTP server capabilities. Some SFTP servers just do not work correctly with concurrent connections and some are known to have issues with negotiating packet sizes. These issues can sometimes be resolved by tweaking the options supplied to the methods, such as setting number of concurrent connections or a psecific packet size.
+
+To see an example of the type of issues you can observe with `fastPut()` or `fastGet()`, have a look at [issue 407](https://github.com/theophilusx/ssh2-sftp-client/issues/407), which describes the experiences of one user. Bottom line, when it works, it tends to work well and be significantly faster than using just `get()` or `put()`. However, when developing code to run against different SFTP servers, especially where you are unable to test against each server, you are likely better off just using `get()` and `put()` or structuring your code so that users can select which method to use (this is what `ssh2-sftp-client` does - for example, see the `!downloadDir()` and `uploadDir()` methods.

 In addition to the promise based event handlers, `ssh2-sftp-client` also implements global event handlers which will catch any `error`, `end` or `close` events.

 ### Adding Custom Handlers
 
 While the above strategies appear to work for the majority of use cases, there are always going to be edge cases which require more flexible or powerful event handling. To support this, the `on()` and `removeListener()` methods are provided. Any event listener added using the `on()` method will be added at the beginning of the list of handlers for that event, ensuring it will be called before any global or promise local events. See the documentation for the `on()` method for details.

You can perform multiple actions with a single connection e.g. upload multiple files, download multiple files etc, but after you have called end(), you should not try to re-use the object with a further connect() call. Create a new object instead.

 One way to avoid this type of issue is to add a delay between connection attempts. It does not need to be a very long delay - just sufficient to permit the previous connection to be authenticated. In fact, the default setting for openSSH is `10:30:60`, so you really just need to have enough delay to ensure that the 1st connection has completed authentication before the 11th connection is attempted.

 When encountering this type of problem, one worthwhile approach is to use openSSH's CLI sftp program with the `-v` switch to raise loggin levels. This will show you what algorithms the CLI is using. You can then use this information to match the names with the accepted algorithm names documented in the `ssh2` README to set the properties in the `algorithms` object.

 # Examples
 
 I have started collecting example scripts in the example directory of the repository. These are mainly scripts I have put together in order to investigate issues or provide samples for users. They are not robust, lack adequate error handling and may contain errors. However, I think they are still useful for helping developers see how the module and API can be used.

 The second directory is the validation directory. I have some very simple scripts in this directory which perform basic tasks using only the `ssh2` modules (no `ssh2-sftp-client` module).

 Error events are essentially asynchronous code. You don't know when such events will fire. Therefore, you cannot use a try/catch block to catch such event errors. Even creating an error handler which then throws an exception won't help as the key problem is that your try/catch block has already executed. There are a number of alternative ways to deal with this situation. However, the key symptom is that you see occasional uncaught error exceptions that cause your script to exit abnormally despite having try/catch blocks in your script. What you need to do is look at your code and find where errors are raised asynchronously and use an event handler or some other mechanism to manage any errors raised.

 ### Server Differences
 
 Not all SFTP servers are the same. Like most standards, the SFTP protocol has some level of interpretation and allows different levels of compliance. This means there can be differences in behaviour between different servers and code which works with one server will not work the same with another. For example, the value returned by *realpath* for non-existent objects can differ significantly. Some servers will throw an error for a particular operation while others will just return null, some servers support concurrent operations (such as used by fastGet/fastPut) while others will not and of course, the text of error messages can vary significantly. In particular, we have noticed significant differences across different platforms. It is therefore advisable to do comprehensive testing when the SFTP server is moved to a new platform. This includes moving from to a cloud based service even if the underlying platform remains the same. I have noticed that some cloud platforms can generate unexpected events, possibly related to additional functionality or features associated with the cloud implementation. For example, it appears SFTP servers running under Azure will generate an error event when the connection is closed even when the client has requested the connection be terminated. The same SFTP server running natively on Windows does not appear to exhibit such behaviour.

 If you are going to try and perform concurrent operations, you need to test extensively and ensure you are using data which is large enough that context switching does occur (i.e. the request is not completed in a single run).
