ssh‑tpm‑agent v0.9.0 Release: Signed Tarball, Confirmation Prompt, and Public Key Permissions Updated
Download the signed v0.9.0 tarball and enable per‑use confirmation with the -c flag.
Download the signed tarball from GitHub and update your ssh‑tpm‑agent to v0.9.0.
Summary
The ssh‑tpm‑agent project has released version 0.9.0, a signed tarball that includes an embedded version and a VERSION file. Public keys are now stored with world‑readable 644 permissions, matching the behaviour of ssh‑keygen. The ssh‑askpass prompt has been enhanced to display the process chain that triggered the confirmation dialog. A new -c flag for ssh‑tpm‑add enables per‑use confirmation, requiring user interaction through ssh‑askpass before a key is used. The release also eliminates data races when the keyring returns ENOENT, treating it as ENOKEY. Minor typos in the README and documentation have been fixed, and the changelog now includes detailed entries. The agent now shows the requesting process in the confirmation prompt, improving transparency. Users should download the signed tarball from the GitHub release and update their ssh‑tpm‑agent to v0.9.0.
