Certbot 1.23.0
Added
Added show_account subcommand, which will fetch the account information
from the ACME server and show the account details (account URL and, if
applicable, email address or addresses)
We deprecated support for Python 3.6 in Certbot and its ACME library.
Support for Python 3.6 will be removed in the next major release of Certbot.
Fixed
GCP Permission list for certbot-dns-google in plugin documentation
dns-digitalocean used the SOA TTL for newly created records, rather than 30 seconds.
Revoking a certificate based on an ECDSA key can now be done with --key-path.
This flag should be set for packages that import pkg_resources
and thus need setuptools after the build step.
Set this flag for packages that need it and bump PKGREVISION.
Certbot 1.22.0
Added
Support for Python 3.10 was added to Certbot and all of its components.
The function certbot.util.parse_loose_version was added to parse version
strings in the same way as the now deprecated distutils.version.LooseVersion
class from the Python standard library.
Added --issuance-timeout. This option specifies how long (in seconds) Certbot will wait
for the server to issue a certificate.
Changed
The function certbot.util.get_strict_version was deprecated and will be
removed in a future release.
Fixed
Fixed an issue on Windows where the web.config created by Certbot would sometimes
conflict with preexisting configurations.
Fixed an issue on Windows where the webroot plugin would crash when multiple domains
had the same webroot. This affected Certbot 1.21.0.
Certbot 1.21.0
Added
Certbot will generate a web.config file on Windows in the challenge path
when the webroot plugin is used, if one does not exist. This web.config file
lets IIS serve challenge files while they do not have an extension.
Changed
We changed the PGP key used to sign the packages we upload to PyPI. Going
forward, releases will be signed with one of three different keys. All of
these keys are available on major key servers and signed by our previous PGP
key. The fingerprints of these new keys are:
BF6BCFC89E90747B9A680FD7B6029E8500F7DB16
86379B4F0AF371B50CD9E5FF3402831161D1D280
20F201346BF8F3F455A73F9A780CC99432A28621
Fixed
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
All checksums have been double-checked against existing RMD160 and
SHA512 hashes
Unfetchable distfiles (fetched conditionally?):
./security/cyrus-sasl/distinfo cyrus-sasl-dedad73e5e7a75d01a5f3d5a6702ab8ccd2ff40d.patch.v2
1.20.0
Added
* Added `--no-reuse-key`. This remains the default behavior, but the flag may be
useful to unset the `--reuse-key` option on existing certificates.
Fixed
* The certbot-dns-rfc2136 plugin in Certbot 1.19.0 inadvertently had an implicit
dependency on `dnspython>=2.0`. This has been relaxed to `dnspython>=1.15.0`.
Certbot 1.19.0
Added
The certbot-dns-rfc2136 plugin always assumed the use of an IP address as the
target server, but this was never checked. Until now. The plugin raises an error
if the configured target server is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Our acme library now supports requesting certificates for IP addresses.
This feature is still unsupported by Certbot and Let's Encrypt.
Changed
Several attributes in certbot.display.util module are deprecated and will
be removed in a future release of Certbot. Any import of these attributes will
emit a warning to prepare the transition for developers.
zope based interfaces in certbot.interfaces module are deprecated and will
be removed in a future release of Certbot. Any import of these interfaces will
emit a warning to prepare the transition for developers.
We removed the dependency on chardet from our acme library. Except for when
downloading a certificate in an alternate format, our acme library now
assumes all server responses are UTF-8 encoded which is required by RFC 8555.
Fixed
Fixed parsing of Defined values in the Apache plugin to allow for = in the value.
Fixed a relatively harmless crash when issuing a certificate with --quiet/-q.
1.18.0
Added
New functions that Certbot plugins can use to interact with the user have been added to certbot.display.util. We plan to deprecate using IDisplay with zope in favor of these new functions in the future.
The Plugin, Authenticator and Installer classes are added to certbot.interfaces module as alternatives to Certbot's current zope based plugin interfaces. The API of these interfaces is identical, but they are based on Python's abc module instead of zope. Certbot will continue to detect plugins that implement either interface, but we plan to drop support for zope based interfaces in a future version of Certbot.
The class certbot.configuration.NamespaceConfig is added to the Certbot's public API.
Changed
When self-validating HTTP-01 challenges using acme.challenges.HTTP01Response.simple_verify, we now assume that the response is composed of only ASCII characters. Previously we were relying on the default behavior of the requests library which tries to guess the encoding of the response which was error prone.
acme: the .client.Client and .client.BackwardsCompatibleClientV2 classes are now deprecated in favor of .client.ClientV2.
The certbot.tests.patch_get_utility* functions have been deprecated. Plugins should now patch certbot.display.util themselves in their tests or use certbot.tests.util.patch_display_util as a temporary workaround.
In order to simplify the transition to Certbot's new plugin interfaces, the classes Plugin and Installer in certbot.plugins.common module and certbot.plugins.dns_common.DNSAuthenticator now implement Certbot's new plugin interfaces. The Certbot plugins based on these classes are now automatically detected as implementing these interfaces.
We added a dependency on chardet to our acme library so that it will be used over charset_normalizer in newer versions of requests.
Fixed
The Apache authenticator no longer crashes with "Unable to insert label" when encountering a completely empty vhost. This issue affected Certbot 1.17.0.
Users of the Certbot snap on Debian 9 (Stretch) should no longer encounter an "access denied" error when installing DNS plugins.
Certbot 1.17.0
Added
Add Void Linux overrides for certbot-apache.
Changed
We changed how dependencies are specified between Certbot packages. For this
and future releases, higher level Certbot components will require that lower
level components are the same version or newer. More specifically, version X
of the Certbot package will now always require acme>=X and version Y of a
plugin package will always require acme>=Y and certbot=>Y. Specifying
dependencies in this way simplifies testing and development.
The Apache authenticator now always configures virtual hosts which do not have
an explicit ServerName. This should make it work more reliably with the
default Apache configuration in Debian-based environments.
Fixed
When we increased the logging level on our nginx "Could not parse file" message,
it caused a previously-existing inability to parse empty files to become more
visible. We have now added the ability to correctly parse empty files, so that
message should only show for more significant errors.
Certbot 1.16.0
Changed
DNS plugins based on lexicon now require dns-lexicon >= v3.1.0
Use UTF-8 encoding for renewal configuration files
Windows installer now cleans up old Certbot dependency packages
before installing the new ones to avoid version conflicts.
This release contains a substantial command-line UX overhaul,
based on previous user research. The main goal was to streamline
and clarify output. If you would like to see more verbose output, use
the -v or -vv flags. UX improvements are an iterative process and
the Certbot team welcomes constructive feedback.
Functions certbot.crypto_util.init_save_key and certbot.crypto_util.init_save_csr,
whose behaviors rely on the global Certbot config singleton, are deprecated and will
be removed in a future release. Please use certbot.crypto_util.generate_key and
certbot.crypto_util.generate_csr instead.
Fixed
Fix TypeError due to incompatibility with lexicon >= v3.6.0
Installers (e.g. nginx, Apache) were being restarted unnecessarily after dry-run renewals.
Colors and bold text should properly render in all supported versions of Windows.
Certbot 1.14.0
Changed
certbot-auto no longer checks for updates on any operating system.
The module acme.magic_typing is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Please use the built-in module typing instead.
The DigitalOcean plugin now creates TXT records for the DNS-01 challenge with a lower 30s TTL.
Fixed
Don't output an empty line for a hidden certificate when certbot certificates is being used
in combination with --cert-name or -d.
Certbot 1.13.0
Changed
CLI flags --os-packages-only, --no-self-upgrade, --no-bootstrap and --no-permissions-check,
which are related to certbot-auto, are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Certbot no longer conditionally depends on an external mock module. Certbot's
test API will continue to use it if it is available for backwards
compatibility, however, this behavior has been deprecated and will be removed
in a future release.
The acme library no longer depends on the security extras from requests
which was needed to support SNI in TLS requests when using old versions of
Python 2.
Certbot and all of its components no longer depend on the library six.
The update of certbot-auto itself is now disabled on all RHEL-like systems.
When revoking a certificate by --cert-name, it is no longer necessary to specify the --server
if the certificate was obtained from a non-default ACME server.
The nginx authenticator now configures all matching HTTP and HTTPS vhosts for the HTTP-01
challenge. It is now compatible with external HTTPS redirection by a CDN or load balancer.
1.12.0
Changed
The --preferred-chain flag now only checks the Issuer Common Name of the topmost (closest to the root) certificate in the chain, instead of checking every certificate in the chain.
Support for Python 2 has been removed.
In previous releases, we caused certbot-auto to stop updating its Certbot installation. In this release, we are beginning to disable updates to the certbot-auto script itself. This release includes Amazon Linux users, and all other systems that are not based on Debian or RHEL. We plan to make this change to the certbot-auto script for all users in the coming months.
Fixed
Fixed the apache component on openSUSE Tumbleweed which no longer provides an apache2ctl symlink and uses apachectl instead.
Fixed a typo in certbot/crypto_util.py causing an error upon attempting secp521r1 key generation
Certbot 1.11.0
Changed
We deprecated support for Python 2 in Certbot and its ACME library.
Support for Python 2 will be removed in the next planned release of Certbot.
certbot-auto was deprecated on all systems. For more information about this
change, see
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-auto-no-longer-works-on-debian-based-systems/139702/7.
We deprecated support for Apache 2.2 in the certbot-apache plugin and it will
be removed in a future release of Certbot.
Fixed
The Certbot snap no longer loads packages installed via pip install --user. This
was unintended and DNS plugins should be installed via snap instead.
certbot-dns-google would sometimes crash with HTTP 409/412 errors when used with very large zones.
certbot-dns-google would sometimes crash with an HTTP 412 error if preexisting records had an unexpected TTL, i.e.: different than Certbot's default TTL for this plugin.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
1.10.1 - 2020-12-03
Fixed
Fixed a bug in certbot.util.add_deprecated_argument that caused the deprecated --manual-public-ip-logging-ok flag to crash Certbot in some scenarios.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
1.10.0 - 2020-12-01
Added
Added timeout to DNS query function calls for dns-rfc2136 plugin.
Confirmation when deleting certificates
CLI flag --key-type has been added to specify 'rsa' or 'ecdsa' (default 'rsa').
CLI flag --elliptic-curve has been added which takes an NIST/SECG elliptic curve. Any of secp256r1, secp384r1 and secp521r1 are accepted values.
The command certbot certficates lists the which type of the private key that was used for the private key.
Support for Python 3.9 was added to Certbot and all of its components.
Changed
certbot-auto was deprecated on Debian based systems.

Certbot 1.9.0
Added
--preconfigured-renewal flag, for packager use only.
See the packaging guide.
Changed
certbot-auto was deprecated on all systems except for those based on Debian or RHEL.
Update the packaging instructions to promote usage of python -m pytest to test Certbot
instead of the deprecated python setup.py test setuptools approach.
Reduced CLI logging when reloading nginx, if it is not running.
Reduced CLI logging when handling some kinds of errors.
Fixed
Fixed server_name case-sensitivity in the nginx plugin.
The minimum version of the acme library required by Certbot was corrected.
In the previous release, Certbot said it required acme>=1.6.0 when it
actually required acme>=1.8.0 to properly support removing contact
information from an ACME account.
Upgraded the version of httplib2 used in our snaps and Docker images to add
support for proxy environment variables and fix the plugin for Google Cloud
DNS.
Certbot 1.8.0
Added
Added the ability to remove email and phone contact information from an account
using update_account --register-unsafely-without-email
Changed
Support for Python 3.5 has been removed.
Fixed
The problem causing the Apache plugin in the Certbot snap on ARM systems to
fail to load the Augeas library it depends on has been fixed.
The acme library can now tell the ACME server to clear contact information by passing an empty
tuple to the contact field of a Registration message.
Fixed the *** stack smashing detected *** error in the Certbot snap on some systems.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
Certbot 1.7.0
Added
Third-party plugins can be used without prefix (plugin_name instead of dist_name:plugin_name):
this concerns the plugin name, CLI flags, and keys in credential files.
The prefixed form is still supported but is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.
Added --nginx-sleep-seconds (default 1) for environments where nginx takes a long time to reload.
Changed
The Linode DNS plugin now waits 120 seconds for DNS propagation, instead of 1200,
due to https://www.linode.com/blog/linode/linode-turns-17/
We deprecated support for Python 3.5 in Certbot and its ACME library.

Make Certbot snap find externally snapped plugins
Function certbot.compat.filesystem.umask is a drop-in replacement for os.umask implementing umask for both UNIX and Windows systems.
Support for alternative certificate chains in the acme module.
Added --preferred-chain <issuer CN>. If a CA offers multiple certificate chains, it may be used to indicate to Certbot which chain should be preferred.
e.g. --preferred-chain "DST Root CA X3"
Changed
Allow session tickets to be disabled in Apache when mod_ssl is statically linked.
Generalize UI warning message on renewal rate limits
Certbot behaves similarly on Windows to on UNIX systems regarding umask, and the umask 022 is applied by default: all files/directories are not writable by anyone other than the user running Certbot and the system/admin users.
Read acmev1 Let's Encrypt server URL from renewal config as acmev2 URL to prepare for impending acmev1 deprecation.
Fixed
Cloudflare API Tokens may now be restricted to individual zones.
Don't use StrictVersion, but LooseVersion to check version requirements with setuptools, to fix some packaging issues with libraries respecting PEP404 for version string, with doesn't match StrictVersion requirements.
Certbot output doesn't refer to SSL Labs due to confusing scoring behavior.
Fix paths when calling to programs outside of the Certbot Snap, fixing the apache and nginx plugins on, e.g., CentOS 7.
Certbot 1.5.0
Added
Require explicit confirmation of snap plugin permissions before connecting.
Changed
Improved error message in apache installer when mod_ssl is not available.
Fixed
Add support for OCSP responses which use a public key hash ResponderID, fixing
interoperability with Sectigo CAs.
Fix TLS-ALPN test that fails when run with newer versions of OpenSSL.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
1.4.0:
Added
* Turn off session tickets for apache plugin by default when appropriate.
* Added serial number of certificate to the output of `certbot certificates`
* Expose two new environment variables in the authenticator and cleanup scripts used by
the `manual` plugin: `CERTBOT_REMAINING_CHALLENGES` is equal to the number of challenges
remaining after the current challenge, `CERTBOT_ALL_DOMAINS` is a comma-separated list
of all domains challenged for the current certificate.
* Added TLS-ALPN-01 challenge support in the `acme` library. Support of this
challenge in the Certbot client is planned to be added in a future release.
* Added minimal proxy support for OCSP verification.
* On Windows, hooks are now executed in a Powershell shell instead of a CMD shell,
allowing both `*.ps1` and `*.bat` as valid scripts for Certbot.
Changed
* Reorganized error message when a user entered an invalid email address.
* Stop asking interactively if the user would like to add a redirect.
* `mock` dependency is now conditional on Python 2 in all of our packages.
* Deprecate certbot-auto on Gentoo, macOS, and FreeBSD.
Fixed
* When using an RFC 8555 compliant endpoint, the `acme` library no longer sends the
`resource` field in any requests or the `type` field when responding to challenges.
* Fix nginx plugin crash when non-ASCII configuration file is being read (instead,
the user will be warned that UTF-8 must be used).
* Fix hanging OCSP queries during revocation checking - added a 10 second timeout.
* Standalone servers now have a default socket timeout of 30 seconds, fixing
cases where an idle connection can cause the standalone plugin to hang.
* Parsing of the RFC 8555 application/pem-certificate-chain now tolerates CRLF line
endings. This should fix interoperability with Buypass' services.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
Certbot 1.3.0
Added
Added certbot.ocsp Certbot's API. The certbot.ocsp module can be used to
determine the OCSP status of certificates.
Don't verify the existing certificate in HTTP01Response.simple_verify, for
compatibility with the real-world ACME challenge checks.
Changed
Certbot will now renew certificates early if they have been revoked according
to OCSP.
Fix acme module warnings when response Content-Type includes params (e.g. charset).
Fixed issue where webroot plugin would incorrectly raise Read-only file system
error when creating challenge directories
1.2.0:
Added
Added support for Cloudflare's limited-scope API Tokens
Added support for $hostname in nginx server_name directive

Support for Python 3.4 has been removed.
Fixed
Fix collections.abc imports for Python 3.9.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
1.1.0:
Changed
Removed the fallback introduced with 0.34.0 in acme to retry a POST-as-GET request as a GET request when the targeted ACME CA server seems to not support POST-as-GET requests.
certbot-auto no longer supports architectures other than x86_64 on RHEL 6 based systems. Existing certbot-auto installations affected by this will continue to work, but they will no longer receive updates. To install a newer version of Certbot on these systems, you should update your OS.
Support for Python 3.4 in Certbot and its ACME library is deprecated and will be removed in the next release of Certbot. certbot-auto users on x86_64 systems running RHEL 6 or derivatives 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.
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

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

non-linux distribution are supported only from 1.2.0.
0.38.0:
Added
Disable session tickets for Nginx users when appropriate.
Changed
If Certbot fails to rollback your server configuration, the error message links to the Let's Encrypt forum. Change the link to the Help category now that the Server category has been closed.
Replace platform.linux_distribution with distro.linux_distribution as a step towards Python 3.8 support in Certbot.
Fixed
Fixed OS detection in the Apache plugin on Scientific Linux.

Replace some unnecessary platform-specific line separation.
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
py-certbot: update to 0.35.0

o Scripts in Certbot hook directories are no longer executed when their filenames end in a tilde.
- 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:
o certbot
o certbot-dns-rfc2136
0.34.2:
Fixed
certbot-auto no longer writes a check_permissions.py script at the root of the filesystem.
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 changes in this release were to certbot-auto.

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 changes in this release were to certbot-auto.
More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.
0.34.0:
Changed
Apache plugin now tries to restart httpd on Fedora using systemctl if a configuration test error is detected. This has to be done due to the way Fedora now generates the self signed certificate files upon first restart.
Updated Certbot and its plugins to improve the handling of file system permissions on Windows as a step towards adding proper Windows support to Certbot.
Updated urllib3 to 1.24.2 in certbot-auto.
Removed the fallback introduced with 0.32.0 in acme to retry a challenge response with a keyAuthorization if sending the response without this field caused a malformed error to be received from the ACME server.
Linode DNS plugin now supports api keys created from their new panel at cloud.linode.com
Adding a warning noting that future versions of Certbot will automatically configure the webserver so that all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access. You can control this behavior and disable this warning with the --redirect and --no-redirect flags.
certbot-auto now prints warnings when run as root with insecure file system permissions. If you see these messages, you should fix the problem by following the instructions at https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/certbot-auto-deployment-best-practices/91979/, however, these warnings can be disabled as necessary with the flag --no-permissions-check.
acme module uses now a POST-as-GET request to retrieve the registration from an ACME v2 server
Convert the tsig algorithm specified in the certbot_dns_rfc2136 configuration file to all uppercase letters before validating. This makes the value in the config case insensitive.
0.33.1:
Fixed
A bug causing certbot-auto to print warnings or crash on some RHEL based systems has been resolved.
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 changes in this release were to certbot-auto.
0.33.0:
Added
Fedora 29+ is now supported by certbot-auto. Since Python 2.x is on a deprecation path in Fedora, certbot-auto will install and use Python 3.x on Fedora 29+.
CLI flag --https-port has been added for Nginx plugin exclusively, and replaces --tls-sni-01-port. It defines the HTTPS port the Nginx plugin will use while setting up a new SSL vhost. By default the HTTPS port is 443.
Changed
Support for TLS-SNI-01 has been removed from all official Certbot plugins.
Attributes related to the TLS-SNI-01 challenge in acme.challenges and acme.standalone modules are deprecated and will be removed soon.
CLI flags --tls-sni-01-port and --tls-sni-01-address are now no-op, will generate a deprecation warning if used, and will be removed soon.
Options tls-sni and tls-sni-01 in --preferred-challenges flag are now no-op, will generate a deprecation warning if used, and will be removed soon.
CLI flag --standalone-supported-challenges has been removed.
Fixed
Certbot uses the Python library cryptography for OCSP when cryptography>=2.5 is installed. We fixed a bug in Certbot causing it to interpret timestamps in the OCSP response as being in the local timezone rather than UTC.
Issue causing the default CentOS 6 TLS configuration to ignore some of the HTTPS VirtualHosts created by Certbot. mod_ssl loading is now moved to main http.conf for this environment where possible.
Added
If possible, Certbot uses built-in support for OCSP from recent cryptography versions instead of the OpenSSL binary: as a consequence Certbot does not need the OpenSSL binary to be installed anymore if cryptography>=2.5 is installed.
Changed
Certbot and its acme module now depend on josepy>=1.1.0 to avoid printing the warnings described at https://github.com/certbot/josepy/issues/13.
Apache plugin now respects CERTBOT_DOCS environment variable when adding command line defaults.
The running of manual plugin hooks is now always included in Certbot's log output.
Tests execution for certbot, certbot-apache and certbot-nginx packages now relies on pytest.
An ACME CA server may return a "Retry-After" HTTP header on authorization polling, as specified in the ACME protocol, to indicate when the next polling should occur. Certbot now reads this header if set and respect its value.
The acme module avoids sending the keyAuthorization field in the JWS payload when responding to a challenge as the field is not included in the current ACME protocol. To ease the migration path for ACME CA servers, Certbot and its acme module will first try the request without the keyAuthorization field but will temporarily retry the request with the field included if a malformed error is received. This fallback will be removed in version 0.34.0.
0.31.0:
Added
Avoid reprocessing challenges that are already validated when a certificate is issued.
Support for initiating (but not solving end-to-end) TLS-ALPN-01 challenges with the acme module.
Changed
Certbot's official Docker images are now based on Alpine Linux 3.9 rather than 3.7. The new version comes with OpenSSL 1.1.1.
Lexicon-based DNS plugins are now fully compatible with Lexicon 3.x (support on 2.x branch is maintained).
Apache plugin now attempts to configure all VirtualHosts matching requested domain name instead of only a single one when answering the HTTP-01 challenge.
Fixed
Fixed accessing josepy contents through acme.jose when the full acme.jose path is used.
Clarify behavior for deleting certs as part of revocation.
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:
acme
certbot
certbot-apache
certbot-dns-cloudxns
certbot-dns-dnsimple
certbot-dns-dnsmadeeasy
certbot-dns-gehirn
certbot-dns-linode
certbot-dns-luadns
certbot-dns-nsone
certbot-dns-ovh
certbot-dns-sakuracloud

Upstream changes:
================================================================================
## 0.30.0 - 2019-01-02
### Added
* Added the `update_account` subcommand for account management commands.
### Changed
* Copied account management functionality from the `register` subcommand
to the `update_account` subcommand.
* Marked usage `register --update-registration` for deprecation and
removal in a future release.
### Fixed
* Older modules in the josepy library can now be accessed through acme.jose
like it could in previous versions of acme. This is only done to preserve
backwards compatibility and support for doing this with new modules in josepy
will not be added. Users of the acme library should switch to using josepy
directly if they haven't done so already.
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:

### Added
* Noninteractive renewals with `certbot renew` (those not started from a
terminal) now randomly sleep 1-480 seconds before beginning work in
order to spread out load spikes on the server side.
* Added External Account Binding support in cli and acme library.
Command line arguments --eab-kid and --eab-hmac-key added.
