Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
6
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
7
version. Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
8
version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
9
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
11
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
12
which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients. Also do not
13
trust this key ID in the server.
15
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
17
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
18
With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
19
The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
20
instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6. Please note: This *requires* new key
21
IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
22
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
23
If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
25
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
26
The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
27
with "raw public keys" as identification. The server will read
28
both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
29
either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
30
on the system. Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
31
one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
32
clients.conf are ignored.
34
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
36
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
37
Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
38
"password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
39
would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing. Other plugins, such
40
as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
41
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
42
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
43
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
44
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
45
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
47
Version 1.7.19 (2018-02-22)
49

65

66
** Bug fix in plymouth plugin: fix memory leak, avoid warning output
68
Version 1.7.15 (2017-02-23)
70
** Bug fix: Respect the mandos.conf "zeroconf" and "restore" options
72
** Bug fix in mandos-keygen: Handle backslashes in passphrases
74
Version 1.7.14 (2017-01-25)
76
** Use "Requisite" instead of "RequisiteOverridable" in systemd
79
Version 1.7.13 (2016-10-08)
81
** Minor bug fix: Don't ask for passphrase or fail when generating
82
keys using GnuPG 2.1 in a chrooted environment.
84
Version 1.7.12 (2016-10-05)
86

135

137
** Compilation: Only use sanitizing options which work with the
138
compiler used when building. This should fix compilation with GCC
139
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
141
** Add extra security restrictions in systemd service file.
143

169
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
170
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
171
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
172
still works, but is deprecated.
174
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
175
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
176
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
177
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
178
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
179
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
180
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
182
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
183
