5
* No user-visible changes
6
7
Version 1.8.7 (2019-08-05)
8
* Client:
9
** Always compile with LFS (Large File Support) enabled.
10
* Server
11
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
12
13
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
14
* Client:
15
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
16
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
17
18
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
19
* Client
20
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
21
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
22
passfiles with names starting with "-".
23
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
24
white space from start and end of the password.
25
* Server
26
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
27
was used. This has been fixed.
28
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs. (Debian
29
bug #933387)
30
31
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
32
* Client
33
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
34
* Server
35
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
36
37
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
38
* No user-visible changes.
39
40
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
41
* Client
42
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
43
44
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
45
* Client
46
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
47
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
48
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
49
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
50
* Server
51
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
52
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
53
trust this key ID in the server.
54
55
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
56
* Client
57
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
58
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
59
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
60
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
61
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
62
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
63
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
64
* Server
65
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
66
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
67
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
68
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
69
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
70
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
71
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
72
clients.conf are ignored.
73
74
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
75
* Client
76
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
77
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
78
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
79
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
80
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
81
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
82
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
83
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
84
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
85
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
86
87
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
88
* Client
89
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
90
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
91
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
92
93

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
176
#816513)
177

188
189
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
190
* Server
191

198
* Client
199
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
200
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
201
server is on.

209
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
210
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
211
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
212
still works, but is deprecated.
213
* Client
214
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
215
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
216
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
217
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
218
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
219
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
220
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
221
the PGP key.
222
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
223
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
224
multiple SSH key types.

226
227
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
228
* Server

247
* Client
248
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
249
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
250
secure than the default "fping" checker.
251

252
** Better error messages.
253
* Server
254

263
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.

294

295
foreground.

older versions of GnuTLS.
304
* Client
305
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
306

Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
310
* Server
311
** Takes new --foreground option
312
** Init script supports new "status" action.
313
* Client
314
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
315
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
316
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
317
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
318
319
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)

334
335
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
336
* Server
337
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it
338
in mandos-monitor.

341
342
Version 1.5.2 (2012-01-08)
343
* Server
344
** Removed D-Bus signal se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest() added in

347
Version 1.5.1 (2012-01-01)
348
* Server
349
** Include intro(8mandos) manual page, missing since migration from

351
352
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
353
* Client
354
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
355
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
356
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
357
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
358
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
359
* Server
360
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
361
restarts.
362
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
363
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
364
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
365
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
366
"ExtendedTimeout".
367
** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
368
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
369
** New D-Bus signal: se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest(s).
370
371
Version 1.4.1 (2011-10-15)

376
377
Version 1.4.0 (2011-10-09)
378
* README file migrated to manual page intro(8mandos).
379

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
384
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
385
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
386
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
387
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
388
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
389
see DBUS-API for details.
390
391
Version 1.3.1 (2011-07-27)

418
* Client:
419
** New "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth
420
graphical boot system.
421
** The Mandos client now automatically chooses a network interface if
422
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
423
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
424
** The Mandos client --connect option now loops indefinitely until a
425
password is received from the specified server.
426

435
** New feature: manual interactive approval or denying of clients on a
436
case-by-case basis.
