an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos

128
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
129
still works, but is deprecated.
130
* Client
131
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
132
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
133
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
134
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
135
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
136

137
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
138
the PGP key.
139

164
* Client
165
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
166
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
167
secure than the default "fping" checker.
168

274
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
275
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.

281
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
282

301
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
302

303
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
304
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
305
