Hash: SHA256

I am pleased to announce secnet 0.6.2.

secnet 0.6.2 contains packaging modernisation and docs bugfixes.

Users with a working 0.6.0 or 0.6.1 do not need to upgrade.
Users trying to set up a new installation (especially on a non-ancient
system) will probably want to upgrade.

Dependencies on Debian are stricter: secnet 0.6.2 is supported on
stretch (with stretch-backports) or later.

Users with 0.4.x and earlier should upgrade to at least 0.6.x,
especially when using make-secnet-sites on not-wholly-trusted input.

Users with 0.5.x: 0.6.x has a fix affecting mobile sites on IPv6
public networks amongst its many substantial changes.  See the 0.6.0
release announcement for full details:
  https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/pipermail/sgo-software-announce/2020/000048.html

0.6.2 can be found here:
  https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git/secnet.git/
  https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~secnet/release/0.6.2/

SHA-256 checksums are listed below.

The .deb is from Debian amd64 stretch+backports (oldoldstable) and
should work as-is on more recent versions of Debian and derivatives.


secnet (0.6.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  Bugfixes to code and build system:
  * site: promote creation of st->scratch, allowing new pubkey scheme
    to work even when secnet is restarting.
  * comm-common.h: Remove unused `notify' variable.  [Colin Watson]
  * Dir.sd.mk: Prevent builtin make rule overwriting conffile.c.

  Documentation:
  * configure: Correct bug reporting address.  Report from Colin Watson.
  * example.conf improvements:
      - Comment out some tuning overrides
      - Improve syntax by deleting one of the two map examples
      - Add a commented-out mobile site setting
      - Add mtu-target
  * OLD-NEWS, OLD-BUGS: Rename from NEWS and BUGS, and don't ship OLD-BUGS.

  Debian packaging changes:
  * debian/rules: Use dh sequencer.  Resulting changes:
      - We now provide debug symbols in the new Debian way.
      - The way the prerm stops secnet accords with modern practice.
  * init script: source /lib/lsb/init-functions.
  * init script: make "restart" work if secnet is not running.
  * Expand Description.
  * debhelper compat: bump to 12 (stretch-backports).
  * debian/rules: Use dh_prep instead of deprecated dh_clean -k.
  * Adjust Priority (as per modern policy and lintian).
  * Add some lintian overrides.
  * Add missing Pre-Depends on init-system-helpers.

  Credits and legal documentation improvements:
  * Add missing credits for base91 and python argparse extension.
    ensure some packaging credits exist in all the places they should be.
  * Add copyright/credits notices to many files which were missing them.
  * Move and centralise legal information into its own file, LICENCE.

  Testing improvements:
  * comprehensive-test: Actually allow OLD_SECNET_DIR set to ''
  * test-example/common.conf: Fix a reference to the sites file.
  * test-example/null-fake-userv: New test utility script.
