Ignore any error from initramfs-tools' "configure_networking".
* initramfs-tools-script: Wrap call to "configure_networking" with
"set +e" and "set -e", since configure_networking was not designed
to run in a "set -e" environment.
Closes: 816513

Version 1.7.3 (2016-02-29)
5
* Client
6
** Bug fix: Remove new type of keyring directory user by GnuPG 2.1.
7
** Bug fix: Remove "nonnull" attribute from a function argument, which
8
would otherwise generate a spurious runtime warning.

10
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
11
* Server
12
** Stop using python-gnutls library; it was not updated to GnuTLS 3.3.
13
** Bug fix: Only send D-Bus signal ClientRemoved if using D-Bus.
14
** Use GnuPG 2 if available.
15
* Client
16
** Compile with various sanitizing flags.
17
18
Version 1.7.1 (2015-10-24)
19
* Client
20
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
21
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
22
server is on.
23
24
Version 1.7.0 (2015-08-10)
25
* Server
26
** Bug fix: Handle local Zeroconf service name collisions better.
27
** Bug fix: Finally fix "ERROR: Child process vanished" bug.
28
** Bug fix: Fix systemd service file to start server correctly.
29
** Bug fix: Be compatible with old 2048-bit DSA keys.
30
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
31
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
32
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
33
still works, but is deprecated.
34
* Client
35
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
36
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
37
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
38
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
39
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
40
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
41
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
42
the PGP key.
43
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
44
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
45
multiple SSH key types.
46
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
47
48

66
67
Version 1.6.6 (2014-07-13)
68
* Client
69
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
70
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
71
secure than the default "fping" checker.
72

207
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
208
