86

237.4.104 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.8.1.
87
Version 1.8.1 (2019-02-10)
88
* Client
89
** Only generate TLS keys using GnuTLS' certtool, of sufficient
90
   version.  Key generation of TLS keys will not happen until a
91
   version of GnuTLS is installed with support for raw public keys.
92
** Remove any bad keys created by 1.8.0 and openssl.
93
* Server
94
** On installation, edit clients.conf and remove the same bad key ID
95
   which was erroneously reported by all 1.8.0 clients.  Also do not
96
   trust this key ID in the server.
97

237.4.102 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.8.0.
98
Version 1.8.0 (2019-02-10)
99
* Client
100
** Use new TLS keys for server communication and identification.
101
   With GnuTLS 3.6 or later, OpenPGP keys are no longer supported.
102
   The client can now use the new "raw public keys" (RFC 7250) API
103
   instead, using GnuTLS 3.6.6.  Please note: This *requires* new key
104
   IDs to be added to server's client.conf file.
105
** New --tls-privkey and --tls-pubkey options to load TLS key files.
106
   If GnuTLS is too old, these options do nothing.
107
* Server
108
** Supports either old or new GnuTLS.
109
   The server now supports using GnuTLS 3.6.6 and clients connecting
110
   with "raw public keys" as identification.  The server will read
111
   both fingerprints and key IDs from clients.conf file, and will use
112
   either one or the other, depending on what is supported by GnuTLS
113
   on the system.  Please note: both are *not* supported at once; if
114
   one type is supported by GnuTLS, all values of the other type from
115
   clients.conf are ignored.
116

237.4.100 by Teddy Hogeborn
* Makefile (version): Change to 1.7.20.
117
Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
118
* Client
119
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
120
   Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
121
   "password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
122
   would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing.  Other plugins, such
123
   as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
124
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
125
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
126
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
127
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
128
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins
129

254
   file for the currently recommended API.  Note: the original API
255
   still works, but is deprecated.
256
* Client
257
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
258
   on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
259
   client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
260
   a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
261
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
262
   This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
263
   below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
264
   the PGP key.
265

290
* Client
291
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
292
   outputs "checker" option which uses "ssh-keyscan"; this is more
293
   secure than the default "fping" checker.
294
** Bug fix: allow "." in network hook names, to match documentation.
295
** Better error messages.
296
* Server
297
** New --no-zeroconf option.
298
** Bug fix: Fix --servicename option, broken since 1.6.4.

303

304

** Only warn if workaround for Debian bug #633582 was necessary and
306
   failed, not if it failed and was unnecessary.
