54

56
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
58
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
59
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
61
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
63
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
64
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use

passfiles with names starting with "-".
66

67
white space from start and end of the password.

81
* No user-visible changes.
83
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
85
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
87
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
89
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
90
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
91
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
92
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
94
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
95
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
96
trust this key ID in the server.
98
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
100
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
101
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
102
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
103
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
104
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
105
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
106
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
108
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
109
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
110
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
111
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
112
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
113
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
114
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
115
clients.conf are ignored.
117
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
119
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
120
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
121
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
122
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
123
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
124
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
125
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
126
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
127
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
128
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
130
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
132
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
133
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
134
