74
75
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
76
* Client
77
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
78
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
79
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
80
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
81
* Server
82
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
83
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
84
trust this key ID in the server.
85
86
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
87
* Client
88
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
89
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
90
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
91
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
92
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
93
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
94
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
95
* Server
96
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
97
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
98
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
99
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
100
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
101
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
102
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
103
clients.conf are ignored.
104
105
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
106
* Client
107
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
108
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
109
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
110
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
111
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
112
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
113
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
114
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
115
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
116
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
117
118
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
119
* Client
120
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
121
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
122
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
123
124

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
207
#816513)
208
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
209

210
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
211

212
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
213

219
220
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
221
* Server
222

229
* Client
230
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
231
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
232
server is on.
233
234
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)

239
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
240
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
241
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
242
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
243
still works, but is deprecated.
244
* Client
245
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
246
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
247
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
248
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
249
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
250
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
251
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
252
the PGP key.
253
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
254
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
255
multiple SSH key types.
256
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
257
258
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
259
* Server
260
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.

278
* Client
279
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
280
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
281
secure than the default "fping" checker.
282
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
283
** Better error messages.
284
* Server
285

316
** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.
317
Bug fix: Output passphrase prompts even when
318
redirecting standard output.
319
320
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)
321

325
** Bug fix: Don't print output from checkers when running in
326
foreground.
327

334
older versions of GnuTLS.
335
* Client
336
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
337
** Default key and subkey types are now RSA and RSA, respectively.
338
Also, new default key size is 4096 bits.
339
340
Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
341
* Server
342
** Takes new --foreground option
343
** Init script supports new "status" action.
344
* Client
345
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
346
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
347
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
348
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
349
350
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
351
* Server
352
** Server takes new --socket option
353
354
Version 1.5.4 (2012-05-20)
355

365
366
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
367
* Server
368
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it
369
in mandos-monitor.
370

379
* Server
380
** Include intro(8mandos) manual page, missing since migration from

382
383
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
384
* Client
385
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
386
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
387
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
388
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
389
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
390
* Server
391
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
392
restarts.
393
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
394
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
395
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
396
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
397
"ExtendedTimeout".
398
** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
399
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
400
** New D-Bus signal: se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest(s).
401
402

407
408
Version 1.4.0 (2011-10-09)
409
* README file migrated to manual page intro(8mandos).
410

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
415
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
416
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
417
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
418
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
419
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
420
see DBUS-API for details.
421
