12 krb5-strength (3.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
14 * New upstream release.
15 - New configuration option cracklib_maxlen.
16 - require_classes now supports requiring a minimum number of classes.
17 - Capitalize the first letter of error messages.
18 - Apply SuSE patch for a security vulnerability in the embedded
19 CrackLib. This didn't affect the way it was used in this package,
20 but best to be sure anyway.
21 - Configuration instructions are now provided in installed man pages,
22 including a new krb5-strength man page, to make them more accessible
24 * Patch the upstream test suite to change the expected results for a few
25 passwords that are rejected by the embedded CrackLib but accepted by
26 the system CrackLib (which the Debian package is built with).
27 * Re-enable treating test suite failures as package build failures now
28 that bug #724570 in CrackLib was fixed in Debian.
29 * Switch to the DEP-14 branch layout and update debian/gbp.conf and
31 * Prefer *.tar.xz in debian/watch to match packaging.
32 * Fix Upstream-Contact email address in debian/copyright.
33 * Switch to https for all package URLs.
34 * Run wrap-and-sort -ast.
35 * Refresh upstream signing key.
36 * Enable all hardening flags.
37 * Update to debhelper compatibility level V10.
38 - Remove explicit dh-autoreconf dependency and invocation.
39 - Remove explicit --parallel flags.
40 * Update standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes required).

44 krb5-strength (3.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
46 * New upstream release.
47 - SQLite password dictionaries are now supported and can be used to
48 reject passwords within edit distance one of any dictionary word.
49 - cdbmake-wordlist has been renamed to krb5-strength-wordlist and can
50 also generate SQLite databases compatible with this plugin and
51 Heimdal quality check program.
52 - heimdal-history, a password history implementation for Heimdal, has
53 been added and can be stacked with heimdal-strength to check both
54 history and password strength.
55 - New configuration option, minimum_different, which sets the minimum
56 number of different characters required in a password.
57 * Add the upstream signing key to debian/upstream/signing-key.asc and
58 configure uscan to do signature validation. Configure uscan to
59 download the xz tarball instead of the gz tarball.
60 * Create a _history user and group and a /var/lib/heimdal-history
61 directory on package installation for the use of heimdal-history,
62 remove the user and the standard database on purge, and remove the
63 directory if empty on package purge or removal.

67 krb5-strength (2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
69 * New upstream release.
70 - Support for more complex length-sensitive character class
71 restrictions using the new require_classes configuration setting.
72 - cdbmake-wordlist now supports filtering out words based on maximum
73 length and user-supplied regular expressions, and supports running
74 in filter mode to generate a new word list.
75 * Update to standards version 3.9.5 (no changes required).

88 * Initial upload to Debian. (Closes: #725753)
89 * New upstream release.
90 - Add native support for the MIT Kerberos password quality plugin
91 interface included in MIT Kerberos 1.9 and later.
92 - Stop building the Heimdal plugin. Heimdal prefers using an external
94 - Add support for TinyCDB dictionaries with a simpler dictionary
95 lookup algorithm. This allows use of this package to check
96 passwords against a large, fast dictionary with a minimum of
97 permutations as an alternative or supplement to the extensive
98 permutations tested by CrackLib.
99 - Minimum password length can now be enforced directly through
100 configuration of this module without relying on CrackLib.
101 - New boolean settings require_ascii_printable and require_non_letter
102 to reject passwords with non-ASCII or non-printable characters and
103 to require passwords contain at least one non-letter (and
105 - The plugin and external checking program will now run without a
106 dictionary configured so that they can be used only to check length
107 and the lighter character restrictions if so desired.
108 - When checking for passwords based on the principal, also check each
109 component of the principal to find passwords based on the realm.
110 * Eliminate the heimdal-strength package. krb5-strength now builds a
111 single binary package of the same name including the MIT plugin and
112 the Heimdal external password quality program. The Heimdal plugin is
113 not built by the Debian packaging because Heimdal prefers external
114 programs. The plugin can be added later as a separate package if
116 * Revise the package long description for the merger of krb5-strength
117 and heimdal-strength and the new capabilities in 2.0.
118 * Recommend cracklib-runtime and tinycdb since they are required to
119 build dictionaries. Downgrade krb5-admin-server to Enhances and add
121 * Update debhelper compatibility level to V9.
122 - Enable hardening flags, including bindnow and PIE.
123 - Enable parallel builds.
124 * Use dh-autoreconf to rebuild the build system during package builds.
125 * Use xz compression for the upstream and Debian tarballs.
126 * Add branch information to the Vcs-Git metadata.
127 * Update standards version to 3.9.4 (no changes required).
128 * Rewrite debian/copyright in copyright-format 1.0.
129 * Remove README.Debian. All of that information is now available in the
130 installed upstream README file.
131 * Remove Bugs header now that this package is in Debian proper.

154 - Add a plugin for the Heimdal password strength support.
155 * Create a separate heimdal-strength package containing only the
