Version 1.8.7 (2019-08-05)
6
** Always compile with LFS (Large File Support) enabled.
8
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
10
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
12
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
13
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
15
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
17
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
18
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
19
passfiles with names starting with "-".
20
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
21
white space from start and end of the password.
23
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
24
was used. This has been fixed.
25
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs. (Debian
28
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
30
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
32
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
34
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
35
* No user-visible changes.
37
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
39
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
41
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
43
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
44
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
45
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
46
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
48
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
49
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
50
trust this key ID in the server.
52
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
54
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
55
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
56
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
57
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
58
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
59
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
60
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
62
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
63
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
64
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
65
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
66
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
67
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
68
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
69
clients.conf are ignored.
71
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
73
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
74
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
75
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
76
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
77
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
78
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
79
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
80
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
81
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
82
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
4
84
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
6
86
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
