interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
107
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
108
still works, but is deprecated.
110
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
111
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
112
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
113
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
114
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
115
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
116
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on

144
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now

secure than the default "fping" checker.
147
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
148
** Better error messages.
150

188
duration. The same for all options to mandos-ctl.

207

213
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
