Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
5
* No user-visible changes.
7
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
9
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
11
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
13
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
14
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
15
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
16
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
18
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
19
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
20
trust this key ID in the server.
22
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
24
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
25
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
26
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
27
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
28
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
29
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
30
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
32
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
33
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
34
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
35
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
36
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
37
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
38
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
39
clients.conf are ignored.
41
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
43
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
44
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
45
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
46
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
47
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
48
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
49
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
50
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
51
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
52
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
54
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
56
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
57
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
58
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.
60

73
** Bug fix in plymouth plugin: fix memory leak, avoid warning output
75
Version 1.7.15 (2017-02-23)
77
** Bug fix: Respect the mandos.conf "zeroconf" and "restore" options
79
** Bug fix in mandos-keygen: Handle backslashes in passphrases
81
Version 1.7.14 (2017-01-25)
83
** Use "Requisite" instead of "RequisiteOverridable" in systemd
86
Version 1.7.13 (2016-10-08)
88
** Minor bug fix: Don't ask for passphrase or fail when generating
89
keys using GnuPG 2.1 in a chrooted environment.
91
Version 1.7.12 (2016-10-05)
93

115

119

144

146
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
148

150

152

interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
178
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
179
still works, but is deprecated.
181
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
182
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
183
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
184
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
185
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
186
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
187
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
189
