Cryptsetup 2.3.1 Release Notes
==============================
Stable bug-fix release.
All users of cryptsetup 2.x should upgrade to this version.
Changes since version 2.3.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Support VeraCrypt 128 bytes passwords.
VeraCrypt now allows passwords of maximal length 128 bytes
(compared to legacy TrueCrypt where it was limited by 64 bytes).
* Strip extra newline from BitLocker recovery keys
There might be a trailing newline added by the text editor when
the recovery passphrase was passed using the --key-file option.
* Detect separate libiconv library.
It should fix compilation issues on distributions with iconv
implemented in a separate library.
* Various fixes and workarounds to build on old Linux distributions.
* Split lines with hexadecimal digest printing for large key-sizes.
* Do not wipe the device with no integrity profile.
With --integrity none we performed useless full device wipe.
* Workaround for dm-integrity kernel table bug.
Some kernels show an invalid dm-integrity mapping table
if superblock contains the "recalculate" bit. This causes
integritysetup to not recognize the dm-integrity device.
Integritysetup now specifies kernel options such a way that
even on unpatched kernels mapping table is correct.
* Print error message if LUKS1 keyslot cannot be processed.
If the crypto backend is missing support for hash algorithms
used in PBKDF2, the error message was not visible.
* Properly align LUKS2 keyslots area on conversion.
If the LUKS1 payload offset (data offset) is not aligned
to 4 KiB boundary, new LUKS2 keyslots area in now aligned properly.
* Validate LUKS2 earlier on conversion to not corrupt the device
if binary keyslots areas metadata are not correct.
