Certbot 1.0.0
Removed:
* The docs extras for the certbot-apache and certbot-nginx packages
have been removed.
Changed:
* certbot-auto has deprecated support for systems using OpenSSL 1.0.1 that are
not running on x86-64. This primarily affects RHEL 6 based systems.
* Certbot's config_changes subcommand has been removed
* certbot.plugins.common.TLSSNI01 has been removed.
* Deprecated attributes related to the TLS-SNI-01 challenge in
acme.challenges and acme.standalone
have been removed.
* The functions certbot.client.view_config_changes,
certbot.main.config_changes,
certbot.plugins.common.Installer.view_config_changes,
certbot.reverter.Reverter.view_config_changes, and
certbot.util.get_systemd_os_info have been removed
* Certbot's register --update-registration subcommand has been removed
* When possible, default to automatically configuring the webserver so all requests
redirect to secure HTTPS access. This is mostly relevant when running Certbot
in non-interactive mode. Previously, the default was to not redirect all requests.
0.40.1:
Changed
Added back support for Python 3.4 to Certbot components and certbot-auto due to a bug when requiring Python 2.7 or 3.5+ on RHEL 6 based systems.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
0.40.0:
Changed
We deprecated support for Python 3.4 in Certbot and its ACME library. Support for Python 3.4 will be removed in the next major release of Certbot. certbot-auto users on RHEL 6 based systems will be asked to enable Software Collections (SCL) repository so Python 3.6 can be installed. certbot-auto can enable the SCL repo for you on CentOS 6 while users on other RHEL 6 based systems will be asked to do this manually.
--server may now be combined with --dry-run. Certbot will, as before, use the staging server instead of the live server when --dry-run is used.
--dry-run now requests fresh authorizations every time, fixing the issue where it was prone to falsely reporting success.
Updated certbot-dns-google to depend on newer versions of google-api-python-client and oauth2client.
The OS detection logic again uses distro library for Linux OSes
certbot.plugins.common.TLSSNI01 has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
CLI flags --tls-sni-01-port and --tls-sni-01-address have been removed.
The values tls-sni and tls-sni-01 for the --preferred-challenges flag are no longer accepted.
Removed the flags: --agree-dev-preview, --dialog, and --apache-init-script
acme.standalone.BaseRequestHandlerWithLogging and acme.standalone.simple_tls_sni_01_server have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release of the library.
certbot-dns-rfc2136 now use TCP to query SOA records.
Fixed

0.35.1:
Fixed
Support for specifying an authoritative base domain in our dns-rfc2136 plugin has been removed. This feature was added in our last release but had a bug which caused the plugin to fail so the feature has been removed until it can be added properly.
Despite us having broken lockstep, we are continuing to release new versions of all Certbot components during releases for the time being, however, the only package with changes other than its version number was:
certbot-dns-rfc2136
