16
** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
18

20
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
22
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
24

48
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
49
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
50
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
51
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
52
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
53
still works, but is deprecated.
55
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
56
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
57
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
58
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
59
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
60
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
61
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
63
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
64
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
65
multiple SSH key types.
66
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
68

71
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
73

75
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
77

89
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
90

91
secure than the default "fping" checker.
92
