Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
6
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
7
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
10
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
12
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
13
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
14
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
15
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
16
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
17
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
18
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
19
still works, but is deprecated.
21
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
22
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
23
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
24
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
25
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
26
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
27
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
29
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
30
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
31
multiple SSH key types.
32
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
34
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
36
** Changed to emit standard D-Bus signal when D-Bus properties change.
37
(The old signal is still emitted too, but marked as deprecated.)
39
Version 1.6.8 (2014-08-06)
41
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
43
** Bug fix: "mandos-monitor" now really redraws screen on Ctrl-L.
44
** Now requires Python 2.7.
46
Version 1.6.7 (2014-07-17)
48
** Bug fix: Now compatible with GPGME 1.5.0.
49
** Bug fix: Fixed minor memory leaks.
51
** "mandos-monitor" now has verbose logging, toggleable with "v".
53
Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
55
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
56
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
57
secure than the default "fping" checker.
58
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
59
** Better error messages.
61
** New --no-zeroconf option.
62
** Bug fix: Fix --servicename option, broken since 1.6.4.
63

67
** Work around bug in GnuPG <http://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1622>
68
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
69
** Only warn if workaround for Debian bug #633582 was necessary and
70
failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
72
Version 1.6.4 (2014-02-16)
74
** Very minor fix to self-test code.
76
Version 1.6.3 (2014-01-21)
78
** Add systemd support.
79
** For PID file, fall back to /var/run if /run does not exist.
81
** Moved files from /usr/lib/mandos to whatever the architecture
82
specifies, like /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mandos or
85
Version 1.6.2 (2013-10-24)
87
** PID file moved from /var/run to /run.
88
** Bug fix: Handle long secrets when saving client state.
89
** Bug fix: Use more magic in the GnuTLS priority string to handle
90
both old DSA/ELG 2048-bit keys and new RSA/RSA 4096-bit keys.
92
** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.
93
Bug fix: Output passphrase prompts even when
94
redirecting standard output.
96
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)

110
older versions of GnuTLS.
112
** Bug fix: Fix bashism in mandos-keygen.
113
** Default key and subkey types are now RSA and RSA, respectively.
114
Also, new default key size is 4096 bits.
116
Version 1.6.0 (2012-06-18)
118
** Takes new --foreground option
119
** Init script supports new "status" action.
121
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
122
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
123

124
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
