• Added workaround for Xamarin.Android whose Dns.GetHostEntry resolves 'localhost' to device's external IP address.
• Added port forwarding (TCP tunneling) support.
• Enhanced logging of handle-based file system operations (such as closing a file).
• IsRunning property added to Server/FileServer objects.
• Added FileUploaded/FileDownloaded events.
• Starting a server with no bindings now triggers an error.
• Fixed wrong session ID in SFTP error log entries.
• Fixed handling of empty folders on Windows CE.

• Added workaround for Open with Create+Read in .NET-based virtual file system.

• Added workaround for buggy (or malicious) clients that send incomplete disconnect requests.
• Added logging of successful and failed authentication attempts.
• Added workaround for Windows CE with missing Enhanced DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider (managed and slow implementation of Diffie-Hellman is used in this case).

• Unified ShellCommandEventArgs.User and SshConsole.User types.
• Added support for certificate-based server authentication (using 'x509v3-sign-rsa algorithm').
• Enhanced key negotiation error logging.
• Added workaround for Xamarin.Android where it was possible to open a non-existing directory.
