50

52
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
54
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
55
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
57

59
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
60
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use

passfiles with names starting with "-".
62

63
white space from start and end of the password.

Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
77
* No user-visible changes.
79
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
81
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
83
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
85
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
86
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
87
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
88
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
90
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
91
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
92
trust this key ID in the server.
94
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
96
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
97
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
98
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
99
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
100
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
101
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
102
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
104
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
105
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
106
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
107
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
108
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
109
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
110
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
111
clients.conf are ignored.
113
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
115
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
116
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
117
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
118
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
119
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
120
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
121
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
122
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
123
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
124
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
126
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
