117
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
118
still works, but is deprecated.
120
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
121
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
122
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
123
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
124
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
125
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
126
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
128

154
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
155

250

256
README file in version 1.4.0.
258
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
260
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
261
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
262
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
263
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
264

268

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
290

291

292
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
293
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
294
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
295
see DBUS-API for details.
297
Version 1.3.1 (2011-07-27)

328
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
329
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
330
** The Mandos client --connect option now loops indefinitely until a
331
password is received from the specified server.
332
** Bug fix: Quote directory correctly in mandos-keygen with --password
333
