7
** Bug fix: Only send D-Bus signal ClientRemoved if using D-Bus.
8
** Use GnuPG 2 if available.
10
** Compile with various sanitizing flags.
12
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
14
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
15
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
18
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
20
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
21
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
22
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
23
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
24
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
25
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
26
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
27
still works, but is deprecated.
29
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
30
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
31
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
32
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
33
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
34
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
35
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
37
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
38
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
39
multiple SSH key types.
40
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
42
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
44
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.
45
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
47
Version 1.6.8 (2014-08-06)
49
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
51
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.
52
** Now requires Python 2.7.

59
** "mandos-monitor" now has verbose logging, toggleable with "v".
61
Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
63
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
64
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
65
secure than the default "fping" checker.
66
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
67
** Better error messages.
69
** New --no-zeroconf option.
70
** Bug fix: Fix --servicename option, broken since 1.6.4.

82
** Very minor fix to self-test code.
84

90

95
** PID file moved from /var/run to /run.

102
redirecting standard output.

126
** Takes new --foreground option
127
