6
** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
8
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
9
compiler used when building. This should fix compilation with GCC
10
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
12
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
14
Version 1.7.3 (2016-02-29)
16
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
17
** Bug fix: Remove "nonnull" attribute from a function argument, which
18
would otherwise generate a spurious runtime warning.
20
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
22

23
** Bug fix: Only send D-Bus signal ClientRemoved if using D-Bus.

26
** Compile with various sanitizing flags.
28
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
30
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
31
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
34
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
36
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
37
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
38
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
39
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
40
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
41
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
42
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
43
still works, but is deprecated.
45
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
46
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
47
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
48
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
49
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
50
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
51
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
53
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
54
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
55
multiple SSH key types.
56
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
58
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)

61
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
63

65
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
67

75
** "mandos-monitor" now has verbose logging, toggleable with "v".

Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
79
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
80
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
81
secure than the default "fping" checker.
82
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
83
** Better error messages.
85
** New --no-zeroconf option.
