1 krb5-strength (3.1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
3 * New upstream release.
4 - New configuration option cracklib_maxlen.
5 - require_classes now supports requiring a minimum number of classes.
6 - Capitalize the first letter of error messages.
7 - Apply SuSE patch for a security vulnerability in the embedded
8 CrackLib. This didn't affect the way it was used in this package,
9 but best to be sure anyway.
10 - Configuration instructions are now provided in installed man pages,
11 including a new krb5-strength man page, to make them more accessible
13 * Re-enable treating test suite failures as package build failures now
14 that bug #724570 in CrackLib was fixed in Debian.
15 * Switch to the DEP-14 branch layout and update debian/gbp.conf and
17 * Prefer *.tar.xz in debian/watch to match packaging.
18 * Fix Upstream-Contact email address in debian/copyright.
19 * Switch to https for all package URLs.

25 * New upstream release.
26 - SQLite password dictionaries are now supported and can be used to
27 reject passwords within edit distance one of any dictionary word.
28 - cdbmake-wordlist has been renamed to krb5-strength-wordlist and can
29 also generate SQLite databases compatible with this plugin and
30 Heimdal quality check program.
31 - heimdal-history, a password history implementation for Heimdal, has
32 been added and can be stacked with heimdal-strength to check both
33 history and password strength.
34 - New configuration option, minimum_different, which sets the minimum
35 number of different characters required in a password.
36 * Add the upstream signing key to debian/upstream/signing-key.asc and
37 configure uscan to do signature validation. Configure uscan to
38 download the xz tarball instead of the gz tarball.
39 * Create a _history user and group and a /var/lib/heimdal-history
40 directory on package installation for the use of heimdal-history,
41 remove the user and the standard database on purge, and remove the
42 directory if empty on package purge or removal.

48 * New upstream release.
49 - Support for more complex length-sensitive character class
50 restrictions using the new require_classes configuration setting.
51 - cdbmake-wordlist now supports filtering out words based on maximum
52 length and user-supplied regular expressions, and supports running
53 in filter mode to generate a new word list.
54 * Update to standards version 3.9.5 (no changes required).

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

134 * Create a separate heimdal-strength package containing only the
135 external password check program for Heimdal. The Heimdal version of
136 the libkadm5srv plugin isn't packaged for the time being.
