Version 1.7.20 of Mandos is released

[Teddy Hogeborn]

Mandos 1.7.20 is released.  This is a bug fix release intended to fix
two bugs: one relating to changes in the cryptsetup package, and the
other having to do with systems without a hardware system clock.

Thanks to Michel Bouissou <michel at bouissou.net> for working with us to
determine the problem with systems without hardware clocks, and also
thanks to Guilhem Moulin <guilhem at debian.org> for alerting us to our use
of recently removed files in the cryptsetup package.

Important note:
===============

If you are using Debian unstable with cryptsetup 2.0.3 or later, the
plugins "askpass-fifo", "password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer
be run, since they would conflict with what cryptsetup is now doing.
Note that other plugins, such as mandos-client and any user-supplied
plugins, will still run as usual.

Version 1.7.20 (2018-08-19)
* Client
** Fix: Adapt to the Debian cryptsetup package 2.0.3 or later.
   Important: in that version or later, the plugins "askpass-fifo",
   "password-prompt", and "plymouth" will no longer be run, since they
   would conflict with what cryptsetup is doing.  Other plugins, such
   as mandos-client and any user-supplied plugins, will still run.
** Better error message if failing to decrypt secret data
** Check for (and report) any key import failure from GPGME
** Better error message if self-signature verification fails
** Set system clock if not set; required by GnuPG for key import
** When debugging plugin-runner, it will now show starting plugins

Debian package changes:

* debian/mandos-client.dirs: Add
  "usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount" and
  "usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d", and remove
  "usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d".
* debian/control (mandos-client/Depends): Add "(>= 0.99)" to dependency
  on "initramfs-tools".
* debian/control (Source: mandos/Rules-Requires-Root): New; set to
  "binary-targets".
  (Standards-Version): Update to "4.2.0".
