cryptsetup (2:1.6.6-1) unstable; urgency=medium
The whirlpool hash implementation has been broken in gcrypt until version
1.5.3. This has been fixed in subsequent gcrypt releases. In particular,
the gcrypt version that is used by cryptsetup starting with this release,
has the bug fixed. Consequently, LUKS containers created with broken
whirlpool will fail to open from now on.
In the case that you're affected by the whirlpool bug, please read section
'8.3 Gcrypt after 1.5.3 breaks Whirlpool' of the cryptsetup FAQ at
https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/wikis/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
carefully. It explains how to open your LUKS container and reencrypt it
afterwards.

cryptsetup (2:1.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low
Cryptdisks init scripts changed their behaviour for failures at starting and
stopping encrypted devices. Cryptdisks init script now raises a warning for
failures at starting encrypted devices, and cryptdisks-early warns about
failures at stopping encrypted devices.

cryptsetup (2:1.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
The default key size for LUKS was changed from 128 to 256 bits, and default
plain mode changed from aes-cbc-plain to aes-cbc-essiv:sha256.
In case that you use plain mode encryption and don't have set cipher and hash
in /etc/crypttab, you should do so now. The new defaults are not backwards
compatible. See the manpage for crypttab(5) for further information. If your
dm-crypt setup was done by debian-installer, you can ignore that warning.
Additionally, the keyscript decrypt_gpg, which was disabled by default up to
now, has been rewritten and renamed to decrypt_gnupg. If you use a customized
version of the decrypt_gpg keyscript, please backup it before upgrading the
package.

cryptsetup (2:1.1.0~rc2-1) unstable; urgency=low
The cryptroot initramfs hook script has been changed to include all
available crypto kernel modules in case that initramfs-tools is configured
with MODULES=most (default). See /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf for
more information.
If initramfs-tools is configured with MODULES=dep, the cryptroot hook script
still tries to detect required modules, as it did by default in the past.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.7-2) unstable; urgency=low
Checkscripts vol_id and un_vol_id have been replaced by blkid and un_blkid.
In case that you explicitly set keyscript=vol_id or keyscript=un_vol_id in
/etc/crypttab, you will need to update your /etc/crypttab manually.
Replacing 'vol_id' with 'blkid' and 'un_vol_id' with 'un_blkid' should work.
The new *blkid keyscripts are fully compatible to the old *vol_id scripts.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.6-8) unstable; urgency=low
Keyscripts inside the initramfs have been moved from /keyscripts to
/lib/cryptsetup/scripts. This way they're now available at the same location
as on the normal system.
In most cases no manual action is required. Only if you reference a keyscript
by path in some script that is included in the initramfs, then you need to
update that reference by updating the path.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.6-7) unstable; urgency=medium
Support for the timeout option has been removed from cryptdisks initscripts
in order to support splash screens and remote shells in boot process.
The implementation had been unclean and problematic anyway.
If you used the timeout option on headless systems without physical access,
then it's a much cleaner solution anyway, to use the 'noauto' option in
/etc/crypttab, and start the encrypted devices manually with
'/etc/init.d/cryptdisks force-start'.
Another approach is to start a minimal ssh-server in the initramfs and unlock
the encrypted devices after connecting to it. This even supports encrypted
root filesystems for headless server systems.
For more information, please see /usr/share/docs/cryptsetup/README.Debian.gz

cryptsetup (2:1.0.6-4) unstable; urgency=medium
The obsolete keyscript decrypt_old_ssl and the corresponding example script
gen-old-ssl-key have been removed from the package. If you're still using
them, either save a local backup of /lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_old_ssl
and put it back after the upgrade finished, or migrate your setup to use
keyscripts that are still supported.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.6~pre1+svn45-1) unstable; urgency=low
The default hash used by the initramfs cryptroot scripts has been changed
from sha256 to ripemd160 for consistency with the cryptsetup default. If you
have followed the recommendation to configure the hash in /etc/crypttab this
change will have no effect on you.
If you set up disk encryption on your system using the Debian installer
and/or if you use LUKS encryption, everything is already set up correctly
and you don't need to do anything.
If you did *not* use the Debian installer and if you have encrypted devices
which do *not* use LUKS, you must make sure that the relevant entries in
/etc/crypttab contain a hash=<hash> setting.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.5-2) unstable; urgency=low
The vol_id and un_vol_id check scripts no longer regard minix as a valid
filesystem, since random data can be mistakenly identified as a minix
filesystem due to an inadequate signature length.
If you use minix filesystems, you should not rely on prechecks anymore.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.4+svn16-1) unstable; urgency=high
The --key-file=- argument has changed. If a --hash parameter is passed, it
will now be honoured. This means that the decrypt_derived keyscript will in
some situations create a different key than previously meaning that any swap
partitions that rely on the script will have to be recreated. To emulate the
old behaviour, make sure that you pass "--hash=plain" to cryptsetup.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.4-7) unstable; urgency=low
The cryptsetup initramfs scripts now also tries to detect swap
partitions used for software suspend (swsusp/suspend2/uswsusp) and
to set them up during the initramfs stage. See README.initramfs for
more details.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
The ssl and gpg options in /etc/crypttab have been deprecated in
favour of the keyscripts option. The options will still work, but
generate warnings. You should change any lines containing these
options to use keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_old_ssl or
keyscript=/lib/cryptsetup/scripts/decrypt_gpg instead as support
will be completely removed in the future.
-- David Härdeman <david@hardeman.nu> Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:00:12 +0200
cryptsetup (2:1.0.3-4) unstable; urgency=low
Up to now, the us keymap was loaded at the passphrase prompt in the boot
process and ASCII characters were always used. With this upload this is
fixed, meaning that the correct keymap is loaded and the keyboard is
(optionally) set to UTF8 mode before the passphrase prompt.
This may result in your password not working any more in the boot process.
In this case, you should add a new key with cryptsetup luksAddKey with your
correct keymap loaded.
Additionally, all four fields are now mandatory in /etc/crypttab. An entry
which does not contain all fields will be ignored. It is recommended to
set cipher, size and hash anyway, as defaults may change in the future.
If you didn't set any of these settings yet, then you should add
cipher=aes-cbc-plain,size=128,hash=ripemd160
to the the options in /etc/crypttab. See man crypttab(5) for more details.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.2+1.0.3-rc2-2) unstable; urgency=low
The crypttab 'retry' has been renamed to 'tries' to reflect upstream's
functionality. Default is 3 tries now, even if the option is not given.
See the crypttab.5 manpage for more information.

cryptsetup (2:1.0.2+1.0.3-rc2-1) unstable; urgency=low
Since release 2:1.0.1-9, the cryptsetup package uses cryptsetup-luks as
upstream source. This is a enhanced version of plain cryptsetup which
includes support for the LUKS extension, a standard on-disk format for
hard disk encryption. Plain dm-crypt (as provided by the old cryptsetup
package) is still available, thus backwards compatibility is given.
Nevertheless it is recommended to update your encrypted partitions to
LUKS, as this implementation is more secure than the plain dm-crypt.
Another major change is the check option for crypttab. It allows to
configure checks that are run after cryptsetup has been invoked, and
prechecks to be run against the source device before cryptsetup has been
invoked. See man crypttab(5) or README.Debian for more information.
