Version 1.8.17 (2024-09-12)
5
* Improve documentation slightly, especially how to add extra options
6
to mandos-client when using dracut with systemd.
7
* Make life easier for distribution packagers by making sure that
8
"make install" creates all required directories.
10
** When seeing clients.conf entries lacking both fingerprint and
11
key_id, show a warning and ignore them instead of crashing,
13
** Suppress most spurious compiler warnings.
15
** In initramfs-tools-hook, be aware of new name of GPGME library,
17
** In password-agent(8mandos), look for a Plymouth process in
18
alphabetical order, not in reverse alphabetical order. This is
19
technically a user-visible change, but should never matter in
22
Version 1.8.16 (2023-02-08)
24
** Bug fix: Start client checkers after a random delay
26
Version 1.8.15 (2022-04-25)
28
** Bug fix: When running "mandos-keygen --password" to read a password
29
interactively (to save in a section in the clients.conf file),
30
backslashes in the password are no longer interpreted as backslash
32
** GnuTLS debug output no longer has a "b'" prefix.
34
Version 1.8.14 (2021-02-03)
36

mandos-client(8mandos) (Workaround for Debian bug #981302)
39
Version 1.8.13 (2020-11-30)
41
** Fix unreliable test in password-agent(8mandos).
43
Version 1.8.12 (2020-07-04)
45
** Fix compatibility with the GNU C Library version 2.31.
46
** In initramfs-tools boots, only use setsid(1) when available.
48
Version 1.8.11 (2020-04-08)
50
** Fix file descriptor leak when adding or removing local routes to
51
unreachable hosts on the local network.

Version 1.8.10 (2020-03-21)
55
** Fix bug when setting a client's D-Bus "Secret" property
56
** Start client checkers after a random delay
57
** When using systemd, allow easier modification of server options
58
** Better log messages in mandos-monitor
60
** When using dracut & systemd, allow easier modification of options
62
Version 1.8.9 (2019-09-03)
63

65
Version 1.8.8 (2019-08-18)
66

70
** Always compile with LFS (Large File Support) enabled.
72
** Improve intro(8mandos) manual page to cover dracut(8) support.
74
Version 1.8.6 (2019-08-03)
76
** dracut support: In password-agent, properly ignore deleted and
77
renamed question files, and also fix memory alignment issue.
79
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
81
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
82
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
83
passfiles with names starting with "-".
84
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
85
white space from start and end of the password.
87
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
88
was used. This has been fixed.
89
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs. (Debian
92
Version 1.8.4 (2019-04-09)
94
** Fix minor memory leak in plugin-runner.
96

98
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
99
* No user-visible changes.
101
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
103
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
105
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
107
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
108
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
109
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
110
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
112
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
113
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
114
trust this key ID in the server.
116
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
118
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
119
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
120
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
121
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
122
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
123
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
124
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
126
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
127
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
128
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
129
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
130
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
131
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
132
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
133
clients.conf are ignored.
135
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
137
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
138
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
139
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
140
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
141
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
142
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
143
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
144
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
145
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
146
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
148
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
150
** Do not print "unlink(...): No such file or directory".
151
** Bug fixes: Fix file descriptor leaks.
152
** Bug fix: Don't use leak sanitizer with leaking libraries.

Version 1.7.18 (2018-02-12)
