Hello Guilers,
I'm pleased to announce Guile-SSH 0.10.2:
https://github.com/artyom-poptsov/guile-ssh/releases/tag/v0.10.2
Please find the package signed with my GPG key[1] here:

- ftp://memory-heap.org/software/guile-ssh/guile-ssh-0.10.2.tar.gz.sig
This release adds new procedure 'channel-send-eof' to (ssh channel) that
allows to send end-of-file (EOF) on a channel; there are less
significant changes as well. Please see the full list of user-visible
changes below.
Thanks for all the contributions, they where very helpful. Contributors
listed in the documentation, 'AUTHORS' and 'THANKS' files included in
the distribution.
* What is Guile-SSH?
Guile-SSH is a library that provides access to the SSH protocol[2] for
programs written in GNU Guile interpreter. It is built upon the
libssh[3] library.
Currently Guile-SSH provides the following features:
- The API that is sufficient for building of standalone SSH clients and
servers, or for embedding client/server functionality in your lispy Scheme
applications.
- Several authentication methods are supported, including password
authentication, public key and SSH agent authentication methods.
- Key management procedures: you can make key pairs, read keys from files,
get key hashes, get public keys from private keys etc. DSS, RSA, RSA1 and
ECDSA (by means of OpenSSL) are supported.
- Port forwarding procedures and high-level API for creating of SSH tunnels.
- Distributed forms ('dist-map', 'distribute', ...) that allow to spread the
evaluation of Scheme code between remote hosts. Or you can just connect
to a remote REPL from Scheme using 'with-ssh' procedure and evaluate some
expressions. No special server needed on the remote side, just an SSH
daemon and GNU Guile installed!
- SFTP client API allows you to read and write remote files over the SSH
protocol right from the Scheme code.
- Remote popen API that allows you to make either input, output or
bidirectional pipes to remote processes.
- Detailed documentation in Texinfo format with examples included, even more
examples in 'examples' directory.
* The list of user-visible changes
Here's the list of user-visible changes (an excerpt from NEWS file):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Changes in version 0.10.2 (2016-11-25)
** New procedures
*** New procedure 'channel-send-eof' in (ssh channel)
The procedure allows to send end-of-file (EOF) on a channel. This action
doesn't close the channel; you may still read from it but not write.
'channel-send-eof!' is handy when we deal with a remote command that reads
data until EOF (such as 'wc'.)
** Documentation
*** Add procedure index
** Misc
*** Fixed several compilation warnings

Happy hacking!
