237.4.116 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.8.5.
4
Version 1.8.5 (2019-07-30)
5
* Client
6
** Support dracut(8) as well as initramfs-tools(7).
7
** Minor bug fix: Allow the mandos-keygen --passfile option to use
8
   passfiles with names starting with "-".
9
** Document known limitation of mandos-keygen --password; it strips
10
   white space from start and end of the password.
11
* Server
12
** Bug fix: The server used to fail to restart if the "port" setting
13
   was used.  This has been fixed.
14
** Minor bug fix: Reap zombies left over from checker runs.  (Debian
15
   bug #933387)

23
Version 1.8.3 (2019-02-11)
24
* No user-visible changes.

237.4.106 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.8.2.
26
Version 1.8.2 (2019-02-10)
27
* Client
28
** In mandos-keygen, ignore failures to remove files in some cases.
29

237.4.104 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.8.1.
30
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
31
* Client
32
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
33
   version.  Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
34
   version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
35
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
36
* Server
37
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
38
   which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients.  Also do not
39
   trust this key ID in the server.
40

237.4.102 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.8.0.
41
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
42
* Client
43
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
44
   With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
45
   The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
46
   instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6.  Please note: This *requires* new key
47
   IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
48
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
49
   If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
50
* Server
51
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
52
   The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
53
   with "raw public keys" as identification.  The server will read
54
   both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
55
   either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
56
   on the system.  Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
57
   one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
58
   clients.conf are ignored.

237.4.100 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.7.20.
60
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
61
* Client
62
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
63
   Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
64
   "password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
65
   would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing.  Other plugins, such
66
   as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
67
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
68
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
69
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
70
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
71
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins

** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
196
   interface, and deprecates older functionality.  See the DBUS-API
197
   file for the currently recommended API.  Note: the original API
198
   still works, but is deprecated.
199
* Client
200
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
201
   on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
202
   client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
203
   a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
204
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
205
   This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
206
   below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
207
   the PGP key.
208
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
209
   "Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
210
   multiple SSH key types.
211
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.

233
* Client
234
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
235
   outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
236
   secure than the default "fping" checker.
237

238
** Better error messages.
239

247
** Give better error messages when run without sufficient privileges
248
** Only warn if workaround for Debian bug #633582 was necessary and
249
   failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.

271
** mandos-keygen: Bug fix: now generate RSA keys which GnuTLS can use.
272

273
   		  redirecting standard output.
274

280
** Bug fix: Don't print output from checkers when running in

301
   still be used to restrict it, and the argument to --interface (as
302
   well as the $DEVICE environment variable for the network hooks) is
303
   now a comma-separated list of interfaces to use.

316
   "checker" client option.
317
** Old D-Bus interface are now marked as deprecated.

* Client
326
** Fix bugs in the example "bridge" network hook.

237.4.26 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Changed to "1.5.2".
328
Version 1.5.2 (2012-01-08)
329
* Server
330
** Removed D-Bus signal se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest() added in

338
Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
339
* Client
340
** Network hooks.  The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
341
   up a network interface before the client is run.  Three example
342
   scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
343
   To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
344
   are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
345
* Server
346
** Persistent state.  Client state is now saved between server
347
   restarts.
348

349
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
350

351
   "ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and

** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
354
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
