Version 1.5.0 of Mandos is released

[Teddy Hogeborn]

Version 1.5.0 of Mandos is released.  This is large-ish release with
some significant new features:

Version 1.5.0 (2012-01-01)
* Client
** Network hooks.  The Mandos client can now run custom scripts to take
   up a network interface before the client is run.  Three example
   scripts are provided: "wireless", "openvpn", and "bridge".
   To facilitate this, the client now prefers network interfaces which
   are up (if any) over all other interfaces.
* Server
** Persistent state.  Client state is now saved between server
   restarts.
** clients.conf file can now contain "enabled" setting for clients.
** Bug fix: Fix rare crash bug.
** Bug fix: Send corrent D-Bus type in PropertyChanged for
   "ApprovalDelay", "ApprovalDuration", "Timeout", and
   "ExtendedTimeout".
** mandos-ctl: Bare numbers as arguments are taken to be milliseconds.
** Bug fix: mandos-ctl --secret option now works.
** New D-Bus signal: se.recompile.Mandos.NewRequest(s).

  * debian/control (mandos-client/Depends): Added "initramfs-tools".
  * debian/mandos-client.README.Debian: Corrected mail address and adjust
                                        wording.
