90
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
91
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
92

interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
96
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
97
still works, but is deprecated.
99
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
100
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
101
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
102
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
103
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
104
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
105
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
107

133
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
134

secure than the default "fping" checker.
136

196
** Takes new --foreground option
