+secnet (0.6.0~) unstable; urgency=medium
- POTENTIALLY INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. SECURITY IMPLICATIONS.
+ Bugfixes:
+ * mobile sites: Do not ever expire peer addresses. In practice
+ this fixes transitions between IPv6-only and IPv4-only networks.
+ * make-secnet-sites: Tainted: Fix a lot of bad return values
+ (which would result in assertions rather than nice error messages).
+ * Fix hash algo confusion in mixed sha1/md5 configurations (see below).
+
+ Incompatible changes:
+ * site: Always advertise all capabilities, even in MSG1. This is
+ incompatible with secnets earlier than 0.3.0 (September 2013), which
+ are all quite badly broken and should have been upgraded long ago.
+ * Drop support for using the same loaded rsa key with multiple different
+ hash algorithms (which was broken in 0.5.0). Right now we support
+ only `sha1' and `md5' so everyone should be using `sha1'.
+ Installations which specified `md5' anywhere may need config changes.
+
+ Major new featureset (use of which is not adviseable yet):
+ * New facilities for negotiating about the signing keys to use for
+ authentication during key setup, and selecting and using the
+ appropriate keys. (``key-cache'/`privcache' and `peer-keys').
+ Using these new facilities for keyrollover now is in principle
+ possible but rather complex. Further machinery is planned;
+ for now, retain your existing config which should keep working.
+ In summary:
+ - secnet: new `privcache' closure;
+ - secnet: `key-cache' and `peer-keys' keys on site closures;
+ - secnet: new file format for peer public keysets;
+ - secnet: new `make-public' config operator;
+ - make-secnet-sites `pub', `pkg', `serial', etc. keywords;
+ - make-secnet-sites --filter, --pubkeys-*, --output-version.
+
+ More minor (logging) improvements:
+ * Make stderr line buffered and log to it by default.
+ * Do not log differently with --nodetach.
+ * New `prefix' option to `logfile' closure.
+ * Tidy and simplify some messages.
+
+ Supporting changes:
+ * Many substantial internal refactorings in secnet.
+ * Many substantial internal refactorings in make-secnet-sites.
+ * make-secnet-sites option parsing totally replaced.
+ * Imported subtrees for base91-c and base91-python.
+ * New portablity code, etc.: osdep.[ch], fmemopen reimplementation.
+ * Explicitly define oddly-rotated dh padding arrangement (write_mpbin).
+
+ Build system and packaging:
+ * Do not fail to build from git when HEAD refers to a packed ref.
+ * Update to subdirmk 0.3.
+ * Many makefile fixes (esp. to clean and cdeps).
+ * configure.ac: Drop or suppress some very obsolete checks.
+ * autogen.sh: Write a comment about need for autoheader.
+ * dir-locals: Provide python-indent-offset too.
+
+ Test suite bugfixes:
+ * stest: Use stderr, not tty, for logging.
+ * stest/udp-preload.c: Fix error handling of sun_prep.
+ * stest: Fix breakage if nproc is not installed.
+
+ Test suite improvements:
+ * New tests, including tests for new features.
+ * Existing tests (especially stest) generally made more thorough.
+ * New comprehensive-test and pretest-to-tested convenience scripts.
+ * Arrangements for testing with (user-provided) old secnet.
+ * parallel-test.*: scripts to help with parallelised bisection.
+ * stest: Print a lot more output about what we are doing.
+ * stest: Better support for cwd with longish pathname.
+ * stest: More flexibility, env var hooks, etc.

* Change one idiom to avoid a warning from GCC9. No functional change.
build system - MAJOR CHANGES:
+ * Fix out-of-tree builds. (Broken in 0.5.0)
* Replace recursive make with use of the new subdirmk system.
This represents a fairly comprehensive overhaul of the makefiles.
Several bugs (esp. involving dependencies between files in different
directories) are fixed.
* Drop `make check' from `make all'. (Otherwise there is no way
to ask for `all' without `check'.)
- * Suppress a number of unhelpful new compiler warnings from GCC9.
- * Release checklist updates.
-
+ * Suppress two unhelpful new compiler warnings from GCC9.
+ * Release checklist update.

+ documentation:
+ * Credit Mark Wooding properly in CREDITS.
+ * Include DEVELOPER-CERTIFICATE.
+
tests:
- * Make locations have different names to sites.
+ * Locations now have different names to sites.
* Somewhat better debugging output from mtest.
+ * Do not run msgcode-test except with `make fullcheck'.
+ * Other minor bugfixes and improvments.
+ * stest: Suppress unhelpful -Wno-unused-result (needed for stretch).
