Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
94
* Client
95
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
96
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
97
server is on.
98
99
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)

104
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
105
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
106
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
107
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
108
still works, but is deprecated.
109
* Client
110
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
111
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
112
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
113
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
114
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
115
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
116
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
117
the PGP key.

119
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
120
multiple SSH key types.

122
123

141
142

143
* Client
144
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
145
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
146
secure than the default "fping" checker.
147

148

149

157
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
158
** Only warn if workaround for Debian bug #633582 was necessary and
159
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
160
161

171
specifies, like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mandos or
172
/usr/lib64/mandos.
173

213
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
214

253
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
254
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
255

257
restarts.
258

280
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
281
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
282
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
283
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
284
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
285
see DBUS-API for details.
286
