+cryptsetup (2:2.1.0-7) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ The 'cryptsetup' and 'cryptsetup-run' packages have been swapped:
+ 'cryptsetup' now contains init scripts, libraries, keyscripts, etc.,
+ while 'cryptsetup-run' is a transitional dummy package depending on
+ 'cryptsetup'.
+
+ On systems which do rely on the initramfs integration, one can mark
+ 'cryptsetup-initramfs' as being manually installed (so APT never
+ selects it for auto-removal) with the following command:
+
+ apt-mark manual cryptsetup-initramfs
+
+ On the other hand, the 'cryptsetup-initramfs' package can be safely
+ removed on systems not relying on initramfs integration.

+cryptsetup (2:2.0.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The 'decrypt_openct' keyscript has been removed, since openct itself
+ is no longer developed and was removed from Debian since Jessie.
+
+ In order to defeat online brute-force attacks, the initramfs boot
+ script sleeps for 1 second after each failed try. On the other
+ hand, it no longer sleeps for a full minute after exceeding the
+ maximum number of unlocking tries. This behavior was added in
+ 2:1.7.3-2 as an attempt to mitigate CVE-2016-4484; to avoid dropping
+ to the debug shell after exceeding the maximum number of unlocking
+ tries, users need to use the 'panic' boot parameter and lock down
+ their boot loader & BIOS/UEFI.
+
+ The initramfs hook nows uses /proc/mounts instead of /etc/fstab to
+ detect the root device that is to be unlocked at initramfs stage.
+
+ The 'precheck' crypttab(5) option is no longer supported. The
+ precheck for LUKS devices is still hardcoded to `cryptsetup isLuks`;
+ the script refuses to unlock non-LUKS devices (plain dm-crypt and
+ tcrypt devices) containing a known filesystem (other that swap).

+cryptsetup (2:2.0.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ With this version, cryptsetup has been split into cryptsetup-run
+ (init script) and cryptsetup-initramfs (initramfs integration).
+ 'cryptsetup' is now a transitional dummy package depending on
+ cryptsetup-run and cryptsetup-initramfs.
