pssh provides parallel versions of the OpenSSH tools
that are useful for controlling large numbers of
machines simultaneously. It includes parallel versions
of ssh, scp, and rsync, as well as a parallel kill
command.

In addition to small fixes, this release adds a few new features, including --inline-stdout and a PSSH_HOST environment variable. It also includes complete man pages, which were previously missing from some of the utilities, and a --version option.
This release fixes a crash with Python 2.4 and works around a potential crash due to a Python bug (which will be fixed in Python 2.6.5, 2.7, and 3.1.2).
This release adds support for Python 3, a new "-H" option for specifying
hosts one-by-one instead of (or in addition to) using a hosts file, new
"-x" and "-X" options for passing extra commandline arguments to ssh and
rsync, a "-S" option to prsync for the special case of passing extra
arguments to ssh, and a new "-I" option for specifying that pssh should
read from standard input.
