128
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
129
still works, but is deprecated.
131
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
132
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
133
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
134
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
135
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
136
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
137
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on

165
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now

267
README file in version 1.4.0.
269
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
271

272
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
273

303
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
304
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
305
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
306
see DBUS-API for details.

340
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
341
** The Mandos client --connect option now loops indefinitely until a
342
password is received from the specified server.
343
** Bug fix: Quote directory correctly in mandos-keygen with --password
