Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
5
* No user-visible changes.
6
7
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
8
* Client
9
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
10
11
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
12
* Client
13
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
14
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
15
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
16
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
17
* Server
18
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
19
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
20
trust this key ID in the server.
21
22
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
23
* Client
24
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
25
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
26
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
27
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
28
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
29
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
30
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
31
* Server
32
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
33
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
34
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
35
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
36
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
37
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
38
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
39
clients.conf are ignored.
40
41
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
42
* Client
43
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
44
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
45
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
46
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
47
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
48
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
49
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
50
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
51
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
52
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
53
54
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
55
* Client
56
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
57
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
58
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
59
60

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
143
#816513)
144

148
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
149

155
156
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
157
* Server
158
** Stop using python-gnutls library; it was not updated to GnuTLS 3.3.

164
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
165
* Client
166
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
167
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
168
server is on.
169
170
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)

175
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
176
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
177
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
178
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
179
still works, but is deprecated.
180
* Client
181
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
182
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
183
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
184
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
185
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
186
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
187
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
188
the PGP key.
189
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
190
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
191
multiple SSH key types.
192
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
193
194
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
195
* Server
196
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.

212
213
Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
214
* Client
215
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
216
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
217
secure than the default "fping" checker.
218

Bug fix: Output passphrase prompts even when
254
redirecting standard output.
255
256
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)
257

* Server
278
** Takes new --foreground option
279
** Init script supports new "status" action.
280
* Client
281
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
282
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
283
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
284
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
285
286
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)

302
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
303
* Server
304

315
* Server
316
** Include intro(8mandos) manual page, missing since migration from

318
319
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
320
* Client
321
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
322
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
323
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
324
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
325
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
326
* Server
327
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
328
restarts.
329
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
330
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
331
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
332
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
333
"ExtendedTimeout".
334
** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
335
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
336
** New D-Bus signal: se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest(s).
337
338
Version 1.4.1 (2011-10-15)
339
* Server
340

345
* README file migrated to manual page intro(8mandos).
346

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
351
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
352
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
353
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
354
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
355
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
356
see DBUS-API for details.
357

385
* Client:
386
** New "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth
387

388
** The Mandos client now automatically chooses a network interface if
389
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
390
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
