Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
5
* Client
6
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
7
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
8
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
9
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
10
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
11
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
12
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
13
* Server
14
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
15
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
16
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
17
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
18
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
19
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
20
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
21
clients.conf are ignored.
22
23
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
24
* Client
25
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
26
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
27
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
28
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
29
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
30
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
31
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
32
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
33
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
34
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
35
36
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
37

** Bug fix: Tolerate errors from configure_networking (Debian Bug
125
#816513)

137
138
Version 1.7.2 (2016-02-28)
139
* Server

147
* Client
148
** Bug fix: Can now really find Mandos server even if the server has
149
an IPv6 address on a network other than the one which the Mandos
150
server is on.

160
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
161
still works, but is deprecated.
162
* Client
163
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
164
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
165
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
166
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
167
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
168
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
169
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
170
the PGP key.
171
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
172
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
173
multiple SSH key types.

** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.
175
176
Version 1.6.9 (2014-10-05)
177

194
195

196
* Client
197
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
198
outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
199
secure than the default "fping" checker.
200

225
/usr/lib64/mandos.
226
227

redirecting standard output.
237
238
Version 1.6.1 (2013-10-13)
239

243

* Server
260
** Takes new --foreground option
261
** Init script supports new "status" action.
262
* Client
263
** Now uses all interfaces by default; the --interface option can
264
still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
265
well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
266
now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.
267
268
Version 1.5.5 (2012-06-01)
269
* Server
270

283
284
Version 1.5.3 (2012-01-15)
285
* Server
286
** Add D-Bus property se.recompile.Client.LastCheckerStatus and use it

302
* Client
303
** Network hooks. The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
304
up a network interface before the client is run. Three example
305
scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
306
To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
307
are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
308
* Server
309
** Persistent state. Client state is now saved between server
310
restarts.
311
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
312
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
313
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
314
"ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
315
"ExtendedTimeout".

** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
317
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
318

** Clients gets an expiration extension when receiving a password,
333
controlled by new "extended_timeout" setting.
334
** New domain name: "fukt.bsnet.se" changes to "recompile.se". This
335
also affects the D-Bus bus and interface names (old names still
336
work). Users should start using the new names immediately.
337
** New D-Bus Client object properties "Expires" and "ExtendedTimeout";
338
see DBUS-API for details.
339
340

368
** New "plymouth" plugin to ask for a password using the Plymouth
369

370
** The Mandos client now automatically chooses a network interface if
371
the DEVICE setting in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf is set to
372
the empty string. This is also the new default instead of "eth0".
373

400
files.
401
402
Version 1.0.12 (2009-09-17)

405
the network interface after using it.
406
** Bug fix: User-supplied plugins are now installed correctly.
407
** Bug fix: If usplash was used but the password was instead provided

411
"plugin-runner.conf" work.
412
