Version 1.8.9 (2019-09-03)
14
* No user-visible changes
15
16
Version 1.8.8 (2019-08-18)
17
* No user-visible changes
18
19
Version 1.8.7 (2019-08-05)
20
* Client:
21
** Always compile with LFS (Large File Support) enabled.
22
* Server
23
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
24
25
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
26
* Client:
27
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
28
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
29
30
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
31
* Client
32
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
33
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
34
passfiles with names starting with "-".
35
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
36
white space from start and end of the password.
37
* Server
38
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
39
was used. This has been fixed.
40
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs. (Debian
41
bug #933387)
42
43
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
44
* Client
45
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
46
* Server
47
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
48
49
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
50
* No user-visible changes.
51
52
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
53
* Client
54
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
55
56
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
57
* Client
58
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
59
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
60
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
61
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
62
* Server
63
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
64
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
65
trust this key ID in the server.
66
67
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
68
* Client
69
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
70
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
71
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
72
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
73
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
74
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
75
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
76
* Server
77
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
78
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
79
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
80
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
81
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
82
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
83
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
84
clients.conf are ignored.
85
86
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
87
* Client
88
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
89
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
90
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
91
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
92
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
93
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
94
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
95
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
96
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
97
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
98
99
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
100
* Client
101
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
102
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
103
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
104
105
Version 1.7.18 (2018-02-12)

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
188
#816513)
189
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
190

191
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
192

193
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
194

197
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
198

200
201
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
202
* Server
203
** Stop using python-gnutls library; it was not updated to GnuTLS 3.3.

210
* Client
211
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
212
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
213
server is on.

219
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
220
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
221
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
222
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
223
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
224
still works, but is deprecated.
225
* Client
226
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
227
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
228
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
229
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
230
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
231
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
232
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
233
the PGP key.
234
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
235
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
236
multiple SSH key types.
237
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
238
239
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
240
* Server
241
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.

259
* Client
260
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
261
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
262
secure than the default "fping" checker.
263
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
264
** Better error messages.
265
* Server
266
** New --no-zeroconf option.

273
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
274

275
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
276

287
specifies, like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mandos or
288
/usr/lib64/mandos.
289
290

299
redirecting standard output.
300
301
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)
302

306
** Bug fix: Don't print output from checkers when running in
307
foreground.
308

315
older versions of GnuTLS.
316
* Client
317
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
318
** Default key and subkey types are now RSA and RSA, respectively.
319
Also, new default key size is 4096 bits.
320
321
Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
322
* Server
323
** Takes new --foreground option
324
** Init script supports new "status" action.
325
* Client
326
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
327
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
328
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
329
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
330
331
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
332
* Server
333
** Server takes new --socket option
334
335
Version 1.5.4 (2012-05-20)

345
** mandos-ctl: Show "Extended Timeout" correctly, not as milliseconds.
346
347
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
348
* Server
349
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it
350
in mandos-monitor.
351
* Client
352
** Fix bugs in the example "bridge" network hook.
353
354
Version 1.5.2 (2012-01-08)
355
* Server
356
** Removed D-Bus signal se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest() added in

358
359
Version 1.5.1 (2012-01-01)
360
* Server
361
** Include intro(8mandos) manual page, missing since migration from

363
364
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
365
* Client
366
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
367
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
368
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
369
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
370
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
371
* Server
372
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
373
restarts.
374
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
375
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
376
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
377
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
378
"ExtendedTimeout".
379
** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
380
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
381
** New D-Bus signal: se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest(s).
382
383
Version 1.4.1 (2011-10-15)
384
* Server
385
** Make D-Bus properties settable again, and handle checkers
386
for disabled clients correctly.
387
* Miscellaneous fixes to "pedantic" Lintian warnings
388
389
Version 1.4.0 (2011-10-09)
390
* README file migrated to manual page intro(8mandos).
391
* Client:
392
** Fixed warning about "rmdir: Directory not empty".
393

395
** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
396
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
397
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
398
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
399
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
400
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
401
see DBUS-API for details.
402
403
Version 1.3.1 (2011-07-27)

425
* Server:
426

427
is "R", not "r".
428
429
Version 1.2 (2010-09-28)
430
* Client:
431
** New "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth
432
graphical boot system.
433
** The Mandos client now automatically chooses a network interface if
434
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
435
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
