20
** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
22
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
23
compiler used when building. This should fix compilation with GCC
24
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
26
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
28

30

48
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
50
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
51
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
52
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
53
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
54
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
55
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
56
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
57
still works, but is deprecated.
59
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
60
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
61
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
62
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
63
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
64
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
65
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
67
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
68
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
69
multiple SSH key types.
70
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
72

75
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
77

79
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
81
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.
82

** Bug fix: Now compatible with GPGME 1.5.0.
87

89
** "mandos-monitor" now has verbose logging, toggleable with "v".

Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
93
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
94
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
95
secure than the default "fping" checker.
96
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
97
** Better error messages.
99
** New --no-zeroconf option.

** Very minor fix to self-test code.
114
Version 1.6.3 (2014-01-21)
116

119
** Moved files from /usr/lib/mandos to whatever the architecture
120

123
Version 1.6.2 (2013-10-24)
125
** PID file moved from /var/run to /run.

130
** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.

132

134
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)

** New default priority string to be slightly more compatible with
148
older versions of GnuTLS.
150
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
151
** Default key and subkey types are now RSA and RSA, respectively.
152

156
** Takes new --foreground option
157

160
