Version 1.8.18 (2024-11-24)
6
** Detect GPGME version correctly when building initramfs.
8
** Only connect D-Bus when necessary.
9
** If a network socket is externally configured, avoid closing it, and
10
also make it non-inheritable.
11
** mandos-keygen: Support ssh-keyscan from OpenSSH 9.8 or later.
12
** mandos-monitor: Avoid debug messages and deprecation warnings from
15
Version 1.8.17 (2024-09-12)
16
* Improve documentation slightly, especially how to add extra options
17
to mandos-client when using dracut with systemd.
18
* Make life easier for distribution packagers by making sure that
19
"make install" creates all required directories.
21
** When seeing clients.conf entries lacking both fingerprint and
22
key_id, show a warning and ignore them instead of crashing,
24
** Suppress most spurious compiler warnings.
26
** In initramfs-tools-hook, be aware of new name of GPGME library,
28
** In password-agent(8mandos), look for a Plymouth process in
29
alphabetical order, not in reverse alphabetical order. This is
30
technically a user-visible change, but should never matter in
33
Version 1.8.16 (2023-02-08)
35
** Bug fix: Start client checkers after a random delay
37
Version 1.8.15 (2022-04-25)
39

interactively (to save in a section in the clients.conf file),
41
backslashes in the password are no longer interpreted as backslash
43
** GnuTLS debug output no longer has a "b'" prefix.
45
Version 1.8.14 (2021-02-03)
47

50
Version 1.8.13 (2020-11-30)

61
** Fix file descriptor leak when adding or removing local routes to
62
unreachable hosts on the local network.

67
** Start client checkers after a random delay
68
** When using systemd, allow easier modification of server options
69
** Better log messages in mandos-monitor
71

83
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
85
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
87
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
88
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
90
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
92
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
93
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
94
passfiles with names starting with "-".
95
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
96
white space from start and end of the password.
98
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
99
was used. This has been fixed.
100

103
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
105
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
107
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
109
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
110
* No user-visible changes.
112
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
114
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
116
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
118
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
119
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
120
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
121
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
123
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
124
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
125
trust this key ID in the server.
127
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
129
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
130
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
131
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
132
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
133
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
134
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
135
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
137
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
138
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
139
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
140
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
141
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
142
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
143
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
144
clients.conf are ignored.
146
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
148
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
149
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
150
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
151
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
152
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
153
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
154
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
155
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
156
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
157
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
159
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
161
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
162
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
163
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
