Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
6
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
8
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
10
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
11
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
12
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
13
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
15
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
16
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
17
trust this key ID in the server.
19
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
21
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
22
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
23
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
24
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
25
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
26
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
27
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
29
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
30
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
31
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
32
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
33
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
34
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
35
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
36
clients.conf are ignored.
38
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
40
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
41
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
42
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
43
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
44
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
45
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
46
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
47
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
48
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
49
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
51
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
53
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
54
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
55
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
57

65
** Bug fix: Fix memory leaks in the plymouth plugin
67
Version 1.7.16 (2017-08-20)
69
** Bug fix: ignore "resumedev" entries in initramfs' cryptroot file
70
** Bug fix in plymouth plugin: fix memory leak, avoid warning output
72
Version 1.7.15 (2017-02-23)
74
** Bug fix: Respect the mandos.conf "zeroconf" and "restore" options
76
** Bug fix in mandos-keygen: Handle backslashes in passphrases
78
Version 1.7.14 (2017-01-25)
80
** Use "Requisite" instead of "RequisiteOverridable" in systemd
83
Version 1.7.13 (2016-10-08)
85
** Minor bug fix: Don't ask for passphrase or fail when generating
86
keys using GnuPG 2.1 in a chrooted environment.
88
Version 1.7.12 (2016-10-05)
90

112
Version 1.7.8 (2016-06-21)
114

115

116
** Bug fix: Work with GnuPG 2 when booting (Debian bug #819982)

119
** Bug fix: Work with GnuPG 2 (don't use --no-use-agent option)
120

137
Version 1.7.4 (2016-03-05)
139
** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
141
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
142
compiler used when building. This should fix compilation with GCC
143
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
145
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
147
Version 1.7.3 (2016-02-29)
149
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
150
** Bug fix: Remove "nonnull" attribute from a function argument, which
151
would otherwise generate a spurious runtime warning.
153
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)

164
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
167

169
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
170
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
171
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
172
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
173
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
174
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
175
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
176
still works, but is deprecated.
178
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
179
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
180
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
181
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
182
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
183
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
184
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
186
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
187
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
188
multiple SSH key types.
189

191

194
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
196

198
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
200
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.

** Bug fix: Now compatible with GPGME 1.5.0.
206

212
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
213
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
214
secure than the default "fping" checker.
215
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
216
** Better error messages.
218
** New --no-zeroconf option.
219

225
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
226
** Only warn if workaround for Debian bug #633582 was necessary and
227
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
229
Version 1.6.4 (2014-02-16)
231
** Very minor fix to self-test code.
