Version 1.8.18 (2024-11-24)
5
* Client
6
** Detect GPGME version correctly when building initramfs.
7
* Server
8
** Only connect D-Bus when necessary.
9
** If a network socket is externally configured, avoid closing it, and
10
also make it non-inheritable.
11
** mandos-keygen: Support ssh-keyscan from OpenSSH 9.8 or later.
12
** mandos-monitor: Avoid debug messages and deprecation warnings from
13
Urwid.
14
15
Version 1.8.17 (2024-09-12)
16
* Improve documentation slightly, especially how to add extra options
17
to mandos-client when using dracut with systemd.
18
* Make life easier for distribution packagers by making sure that
19
"make install" creates all required directories.
20
* Server
21
** When seeing clients.conf entries lacking both fingerprint and
22
key_id, show a warning and ignore them instead of crashing,
23
* Client
24
** Suppress most spurious compiler warnings.
25
** Use 64-bit time.
26
** In initramfs-tools-hook, be aware of new name of GPGME library,
27
libgpgme11t64.
28
** In password-agent(8mandos), look for a Plymouth process in
29
alphabetical order, not in reverse alphabetical order. This is
30
technically a user-visible change, but should never matter in
31
practice.
32
33
Version 1.8.16 (2023-02-08)
34
* Server
35
** Bug fix: Start client checkers after a random delay

38
* Server
39
** Bug fix: When running "mandos-keygen --password" to read a password

Version 1.8.9 (2019-09-03)
74
* No user-visible changes
75
76
Version 1.8.8 (2019-08-18)
77
* No user-visible changes
78
79
Version 1.8.7 (2019-08-05)
80
* Client:
81
** Always compile with LFS (Large File Support) enabled.
82
* Server
83
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
84
85
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
86
* Client:
87
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
88
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
89
90
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
91
* Client
92
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
93
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
94
passfiles with names starting with "-".
95
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
96
white space from start and end of the password.
97
* Server
98
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
99
was used. This has been fixed.
100
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs. (Debian
101
bug #933387)
102
103
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
104
* Client
105
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
106
* Server
107
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
108
109
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
110
* No user-visible changes.
111
112
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
113
* Client
114
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
115
116
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
117
* Client
118
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
119
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
120
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
121
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
122
* Server
123
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
124
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
125
trust this key ID in the server.
126
127
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
128
* Client
129
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
130
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
131
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
132
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
133
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
134
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
135
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
136
* Server
137
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
138
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
139
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
140
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
141
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
142
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
143
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
144
clients.conf are ignored.
145
146
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
147
* Client
148
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
149
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
150
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
151
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
152
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
153
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
154
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
155
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
156
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
157
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
158
159
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
160
* Client
161
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
162
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
163
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
164
165

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
248
#816513)
249
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
250
compiler used when building. This should fix compilation with GCC
251
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
252

260
261
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
262
* Server
263

270
* Client
271
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
272
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
273
server is on.
274
275
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
276

280
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
281
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
282
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
283
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
284
still works, but is deprecated.
285
* Client
286
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
287
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
288
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
289
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
290
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
291
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
292
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
293
the PGP key.
294
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
295
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
296
multiple SSH key types.
297
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
298
299
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
300

319
* Client
320
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
321

335
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
336
337

345
* Client
346

347
specifies, like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mandos or
348
/usr/lib64/mandos.
349
350
Version 1.6.2 (2013-10-24)
351
* Server
352
** PID file moved from /var/run to /run.
353
** Bug fix: Handle long secrets when saving client state.
354

both old DSA/ELG 2048-bit keys and new RSA/RSA 4096-bit keys.
356
* Client
357
** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.
358
Bug fix: Output passphrase prompts even when
359
redirecting standard output.
360
361
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)
362
* Server
363
** All client options for time intervals now also take an RFC 3339
364
duration. The same for all options to mandos-ctl.
365
** Bug fix: Handle fast checkers (like ":") correctly.
366
** Bug fix: Don't print output from checkers when running in
367
foreground.
368
** Bug fix: Do not fail when client is removed from clients.conf but
369
saved settings remain.
370
** Bug fix: mandos-monitor now displays standout (reverse video) again
371
using new version of Urwid.
372
** Bug fix: Make boolean options work from the config file again.
373
** Bug fix: Make --no-ipv6 work again.
374
** New default priority string to be slightly more compatible with
375
older versions of GnuTLS.
376
* Client
377
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
378
** Default key and subkey types are now RSA and RSA, respectively.
379
Also, new default key size is 4096 bits.
380
381
Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
382
* Server
383
** Takes new --foreground option
384
** Init script supports new "status" action.
385
* Client
386
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
387
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
388
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
389
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
390
391
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
392
* Server
393
** Server takes new --socket option
394
395
Version 1.5.4 (2012-05-20)

** mandos-ctl: Show "Extended Timeout" correctly, not as milliseconds.
406
407
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
408
* Server
409
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it
410
in mandos-monitor.
411
* Client
412
** Fix bugs in the example "bridge" network hook.
413
414
Version 1.5.2 (2012-01-08)
415
* Server
416
** Removed D-Bus signal se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest() added in

418
419
Version 1.5.1 (2012-01-01)
420
* Server
421
** Include intro(8mandos) manual page, missing since migration from

423
424
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
425
* Client
426
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
427
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
428
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
429
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
430
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
431
* Server
432
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
433
restarts.
434
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
435
