Fix issue with french translation
Initial white space was missing in both msgid and msgstr of the french
translation, leading to checking tools reporing an incomplete
translation. The string is a raw command line command, and therefore
did not need translation, so this was never a user-visible issue.
* debian/po/fr.po: Add missing whitespace to the id and translation
for msgid " mandos-keygen -F/dev/null|grep ^key_id".

45
* Client
46
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
47
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use

70
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
71
* Client
72
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
73
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
74
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
75
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
76
* Server
77
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
78
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
79
trust this key ID in the server.
80
81
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
82
* Client
83
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
84
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
85
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
86
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
87
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
88
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
89
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
90
* Server
91
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
92
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
93
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
94
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
95
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
96
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
97
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
98
clients.conf are ignored.
99
100
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
101
* Client
102
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
103
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
104
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
105
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
106
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
107
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
108
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
109
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
110
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
111
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
112
113
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
114
* Client
115
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
116
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
117
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
202
#816513)
203
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
204

205
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
206

207
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
208

214
215
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
216
* Server
217

226
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
227
server is on.
228
229
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)

234
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
235
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
236
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
237
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
238
still works, but is deprecated.
239
* Client
240
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
241
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
242
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
243
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
244
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
245
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
246
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
247
the PGP key.
248
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
249
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
250
multiple SSH key types.
251
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
252
253
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
254
* Server
255
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.

273
* Client
274
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
275
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
276
secure than the default "fping" checker.
277

** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.
312
Bug fix: Output passphrase prompts even when
313
redirecting standard output.
314
315
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)
316

333
Also, new default key size is 4096 bits.
334
335
Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
336
* Server
337
** Takes new --foreground option
338
** Init script supports new "status" action.
339
* Client
340
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
341
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
342
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
343
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
344
345
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
346
* Server
347
** Server takes new --socket option

360
361
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
362
* Server
363
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it
364
in mandos-monitor.

379
* Client
380
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
381
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
382
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
383
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
384
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
385
* Server
386
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
387
restarts.
388
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
389
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
390
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
391
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
392
"ExtendedTimeout".

** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
394
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
395

403
Version 1.4.0 (2011-10-09)
404
* README file migrated to manual page intro(8mandos).

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
410
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
411
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
412
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
413
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
414
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
415
see DBUS-API for details.
416
