minor bugfix:
Per-user config files had a bug where the wrong patch was being accessed. The sshtunnel proxy type has been modified to work with the .ssh/config system of defining connections by a connection name rather than by a full user/host/port path.
3.1.127 Jun 2017 10:07
minor bugfix:
This release is focused on improving 'player' support (using the -P command-line switch). Players now read from stdin, rather than from a file. The option '-o none' is added to allow use of player mode without leaving files of downloaded content lying around on disk. Also some bugfixes, including fix of a segfault when a connection fails.
