interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
71
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
72
still works, but is deprecated.
74
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
75
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
76
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
77
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
78
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
79
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
80
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
82
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
83
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has

108
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now

140

171
