+nagios-nrpe (3.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The bug that caused the SSL support between NRPE 2.x and 3.x not
+ to work has been fixed.
+
+ Because the default SSL support without certificates configured
+ in nrpe.cfg uses pre-generated key data, configuring SSL
+ certificates is strongly advised when STunnel is not used.
+
+ The ssl-cert package can be used to generate a self-signed
+ certificate, but CA certificates like those from Let's Encrypt
+ are a better choice.
+
+ SSL support has been re-enabled by default, to be better compatible
+ with previous NRPE versions where SSL support was enabled by default
+ too.
+
+ The check_nrpe command definition has been updated to enable SSL
+ support (by removing the -n option) and the check_nrpe_ssl command
+ definition has been removed. The previous check_nrpe command
+ definition which disables SSL support is available with the new
+ check_nrpe_nossl command definition.

+nagios-nrpe (3.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The check_nrpe command definition has been updated to remove the
+ arguments option, because nagios-nrpe-server does not support
+ command arguments since 2.15-1. And the check_nrpe_1arg command
+ definition has been removed.
+
+ If you're using the check_nrpe_1arg command in your Nagios/Icinga
+ configuration, you need to replace it with check_nrpe.
+
+ SSL support is disabled by default, the reworked SSL/TLS support in
+ NRPE requires configuration before it can be used. Read the
+ instructions in /usr/share/doc/nagios-nrpe-server/README.SSL.md.gz
+ before enabling SSL support in /etc/default/nagios-nrpe-server.
+
+ The default check_nrpe command in check_nrpe.cfg has been updated
+ to disable SSL by default too. The check_nrpe_ssl command has been
+ added to connect to the NRPE daemon over SSL.
+
+ Beware that the new NRPE daemon only works with old check_nrpe
+ plugins when SSL support is disabled on both sides, likewise the
+ new check_nrpe plugin only works with the old NRPE daemon when SSL
+ support is disabled.
+
+ To use SSL between the NRPE client and server, configuring Stunnel
+ is recommended.

+nagios-nrpe (2.15-1) unstable; urgency=high
+
+ This update disables the command-args support in nrpe. The feature
+ has several security problems and is often used wrong. If you have to
+ use this feature recompile the package with --enable-command-args
+ in debian/rules.

+nagios-nrpe (2.12-4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ The pidfile creation mechanism changed with this update. If you do not
+ add "pid_file=/var/run/nagios/nrpe.pid" to you nrpe config take care that
+ the user "nagios" is able to write to your pidfile location. You can also
+ change the initscript to create the pid directory on your own.

+
+nagios-nrpe (2.12-3) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ The homedirectory of the nagios user moved to /var/lib/nagios
+ which is now common on all nagios related packages. Its recommended
+ that you migrate an already existing nagios user to use /var/lib/nagios
+ as homedirectory.

+nagios-nrpe (2.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ the nagios-nrpe-doc package is no longer provided. the documentation
+ can now be found in /usr/share/doc/nagios-nrpe-{server|plugins}. new
+ versions of the plugin and server packages conflict with the doc
+ package to prevent the old (and possibly incorrect in the future)
+ documentation from remaining. to fully purge all information about
+ the package you should run:
+ dpkg -P nagios-nrpe-doc
