11
** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
13
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
14
compiler used when building. This should fix compilation with GCC
15
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
17
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
19

21
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
22

** Compile with various sanitizing flags.
33
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
35

Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
41
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
42
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
43
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
44
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
45
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
46
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
47
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
48
still works, but is deprecated.
50
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
51
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
52
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
53
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
54
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
55
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
56
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
58
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
59
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
60
multiple SSH key types.
61
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
63
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)

66
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
68

70
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
72
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.
73
** Now requires Python 2.7.
75

78
** Bug fix: Fixed minor memory leaks.
80
** "mandos-monitor" now has verbose logging, toggleable with "v".
82
Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
84
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
85
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
86
secure than the default "fping" checker.
87
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
88
** Better error messages.
90
** New --no-zeroconf option.
91

failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
