24
4.9 on mips, mipsel, and s390x.
26

54
** The D-Bus API now provides the standard D-Bus ObjectManager
55
interface, and deprecates older functionality. See the DBUS-API
56
file for the currently recommended API. Note: the original API
57
still works, but is deprecated.
59
** Can now find Mandos server even if the server has an IPv6 address
60
on a network without IPv6 Router Advertisment (like if the Mandos
61
client itself is the router, or there is an IPv6 router advertising
62
a network other than the one which the Mandos server is on.)
63
** Use a better value than 1024 for the default number of DH bits.
64
This better value is either provided by a DH parameters file (see
65
below) or an appropriate number of DH bits is determined based on
67
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates correct output for the
68
"Checker" variable even if the SSH server on the Mandos client has
69
multiple SSH key types.
70
** Can now use pre-generated Diffie-Hellman parameters from a file.

79
** Bug fix: mandos-keygen now generates working SSH checker commands.
81

93
** If client host has an SSH server, "mandos-keygen --password" now
94

95
secure than the default "fping" checker.
96

99
