6
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
7
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
8
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
9
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
10
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.

** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
12
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
13
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails

106
#816513)

118
119
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
120
* Server
121

127
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
128
* Client
129
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
130
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
131
server is on.
132
133
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)

** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
140
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
141
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
142
still works, but is deprecated.
143
* Client
144
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
145
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
146
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
147
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
148
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
149
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
150
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
151
the PGP key.
152
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
153
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
154
multiple SSH key types.
155
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
156
157
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
158

177
* Client
178
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
179
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
180
secure than the default "fping" checker.
181

182
** Better error messages.
183
* Server
184

193
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.

224

225
foreground.

241

242
** Init script supports new "status" action.
243
* Client
244
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
245
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
246
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
247
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
248
249
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
250

284
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
285
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
286
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
287
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
288
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
289

291
restarts.
292

293
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
294
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
295
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and

314
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
315
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
316
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
317
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
318
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
319
see DBUS-API for details.
320
321

348
* Client:
349
** New "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth
350

351
** The Mandos client now automatically chooses a network interface if
352
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
353

355
password is received from the specified server.
