Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
6
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
8
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
10
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
11
* No user-visible changes.
13
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
15
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
17
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
19
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
20
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
21
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
22
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
24
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
25
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
26
trust this key ID in the server.
28
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
30
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
31
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
32
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
33
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
34
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
35
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
36
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
38
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
39
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
40
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
41
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
42
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
43
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
44
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
45
clients.conf are ignored.
47
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
49
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
50
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
51
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
52
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
53
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
54
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
55
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
56
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
57
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
58
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
60
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
62
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
63
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
64
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
66

79
** Bug fix in plymouth plugin: fix memory leak, avoid warning output
81
Version 1.7.15 (2017-02-23)
83
** Bug fix: Respect the mandos.conf "zeroconf" and "restore" options
85
** Bug fix in mandos-keygen: Handle backslashes in passphrases
87
Version 1.7.14 (2017-01-25)
89

92
Version 1.7.13 (2016-10-08)
94

123

124

125
** Bug fix: Work with GnuPG 2 when booting (Debian bug #819982)

4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
154
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
156
Version 1.7.3 (2016-02-29)
158
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
159

160
would otherwise generate a spurious runtime warning.
162
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)

an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
176

181
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
182
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
183
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
184
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
185
still works, but is deprecated.
187
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
188
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
189
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
190
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
191
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
192
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
193
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
195
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
196
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
197
multiple SSH key types.

203
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)

207
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
209
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.
210

221
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
222
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more

secure than the default "fping" checker.
224
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
225
