10
Version 1.8.7 (2019-08-05)
11
* Client:
12

13
* Server
14
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
15
16
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
17
* Client:
18
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
19
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
20
21
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
22
* Client
23
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
24
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
25
passfiles with names starting with "-".
26
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
27
white space from start and end of the password.
28
* Server
29
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
30
was used. This has been fixed.
31
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs. (Debian
32
bug #933387)
33
34
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
35
* Client
36
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
37
* Server
38
** mandos-ctl now has a --debug option to show D-Bus calls.
39
40
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
41
* No user-visible changes.
42
43
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
44
* Client
45
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
46
47
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
48
* Client
49
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
50
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
51
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
52
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
53
* Server
54
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
55
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
56
trust this key ID in the server.
57
58
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
59
* Client
60
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
61
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
62
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
63
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
64
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
65
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
66
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
67
* Server
68
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
69
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
70
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
71
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
72
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
73
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
74
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
75
clients.conf are ignored.
76
77
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
78
* Client
79
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
80
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
81
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
82
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
83
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
84
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
85
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
86
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
87
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
88
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
89
90
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
91
* Client
92
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
93
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
94

95
96

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
179
#816513)
180
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the

191
192
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
193
* Server

201
* Client
202
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
203
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
204
server is on.

211
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
212
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
213
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
214
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
215
still works, but is deprecated.
216
* Client
217
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
218
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
219
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
220
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
221
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
222
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
223
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
224
the PGP key.
225
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
226
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
227
multiple SSH key types.
228
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
229
230
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
231
* Server
232
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.

250
* Client
251
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
252
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
253
secure than the default "fping" checker.
254

255
** Better error messages.
256
* Server
257

266
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.

297
** Bug fix: Don't print output from checkers when running in
298
foreground.

older versions of GnuTLS.
307
* Client
308
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
309

310
Also, new default key size is 4096 bits.
311
312
Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
313
* Server
314
** Takes new --foreground option
315
** Init script supports new "status" action.
316
* Client
317
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
318
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
319
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
320
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
321
322
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
323
* Server
324
** Server takes new --socket option

337
338
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
339
* Server
340
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it
341
in mandos-monitor.
342
* Client
343
** Fix bugs in the example "bridge" network hook.
344
345
Version 1.5.2 (2012-01-08)
346
* Server
347
** Removed D-Bus signal se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest() added in

349
350
Version 1.5.1 (2012-01-01)
351
* Server
352
** Include intro(8mandos) manual page, missing since migration from

354
355
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
356
* Client
357
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
358
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
359
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
360
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
361
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
362
* Server
363
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
364
restarts.
365
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
366
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
367
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
368
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
369
"ExtendedTimeout".
370
** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
371
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
372
** New D-Bus signal: se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest(s).
373
374
Version 1.4.1 (2011-10-15)
375

379
380
Version 1.4.0 (2011-10-09)
381
* README file migrated to manual page intro(8mandos).
382

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
387
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
388
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
389
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
390
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
391
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
392
see DBUS-API for details.
393
394
Version 1.3.1 (2011-07-27)

414
415
Version 1.2.1 (2010-10-02)
416
* Server:
417
** mandos-monitor(8): Documentation bug fix: Key for removing client
418
is "R", not "r".
419
420
Version 1.2 (2010-09-28)
421
* Client:
422
** New "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth
423
graphical boot system.
424
** The Mandos client now automatically chooses a network interface if
425
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
426
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
427
** The Mandos client --connect option now loops indefinitely until a
428
password is received from the specified server.
429
** Bug fix: Quote directory correctly in mandos-keygen with --password
430

+ mandos-monitor A text-based GUI interface
438
** New feature: manual interactive approval or denying of clients on a
439
