Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
6
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
7
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
8
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
9
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
10
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
11
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
12
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
14
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
15
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
16
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
17
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
18
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
19
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
20
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
21
clients.conf are ignored.
23
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
25
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
26
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
27
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
28
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
29
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
30
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
31
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
32
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
33
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
34
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
36

65

68
Version 1.7.13 (2016-10-08)
70
** Minor bug fix: Don't ask for passphrase or fail when generating
71
keys using GnuPG 2.1 in a chrooted environment.
73
Version 1.7.12 (2016-10-05)

124

** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
159
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
160
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
161
still works, but is deprecated.
163
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
164
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
165
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
166
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
167
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
168
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
169
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
171
