    • Added the keepalive setting for users who experience frequent disconnects.

      This will send a command to the server every specified number of seconds in an effort to keep the connection open.

    • File ignoring is now slightly simpler – the ignore_regex setting has been deprecated, and replaced with ignore_regexes, which is a list of smaller regular expressions. This should make adding file and folder paths easier.

      Once Sublime Text is restarted, SFTP will attempt to load one of several pre-compiled _ssl modules. The console will contain debug information.

sftp_delete_remote -> sftp_delete_server
      Custom key bindings may need to be updated.
