6
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
7
** Bug fix: Remove "nonnull" attribute from a function argument, which
8
would otherwise generate a spurious runtime warning.
10
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
12

13

14
** Use GnuPG 2 if available.
16
** Compile with various sanitizing flags.
18
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
20
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
21
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
24
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
26
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
27
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
28
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
29
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
30
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
31
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
32
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
33
still works, but is deprecated.
35
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
36
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
37
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
38
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
39
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
40
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
41
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
43
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
44
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
45
multiple SSH key types.
46
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
48
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)

51
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
53
Version 1.6.8 (2014-08-06)
55
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
57
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.

65
** "mandos-monitor" now has verbose logging, toggleable with "v".
67
Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
69
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
70
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
71
secure than the default "fping" checker.
72
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
73
** Better error messages.
75
** New --no-zeroconf option.
76
** Bug fix: Fix --servicename option, broken since 1.6.4.
77

82
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
83

84
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.

88
** Very minor fix to self-test code.
90

101
** PID file moved from /var/run to /run.

106
** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.

132
** Takes new --foreground option
133

138

Version 1.5.2 (2012-01-08)
165
