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.
0.39.0:
Added
Support for Python 3.8 was added to Certbot and all of its components.
Support for CentOS 8 was added to certbot-auto.
Changed
Don't send OCSP requests for expired certificates
Return to using platform.linux_distribution instead of distro.linux_distribution in OS fingerprinting for Python < 3.8
Updated the Nginx plugin's TLS configuration to keep support for some versions of IE11.
Fixed
Fixed OS detection in the Apache plugin on RHEL 6.
### Added
- A new security enhancement which we're calling AutoHSTS has been
added to Certbot's Apache plugin. This enhancement configures your
webserver to send a HTTP Strict Transport Security header with a low
max-age value that is slowly increased over time. The max-age value is
not increased to a large value until you've successfully managed to
renew your certificate. This enhancement can be requested with the
--auto-hsts flag.
- New official DNS plugins have been created for Gehirn Infrastracture
Service, Linode, OVH, and Sakura Cloud. These plugins can be found
on our Docker Hub page at https://hub.docker.com/u/certbot and on
PyPI.
- The ability to reuse ACME accounts from Let's Encrypt's ACMEv1
endpoint on Let's Encrypt's ACMEv2 endpoint has been added.
- Certbot and its components now support Python 3.7.
- Certbot's install subcommand now allows you to interactively choose
which certificate to install from the list of certificates managed
by Certbot.
- Certbot now accepts the flag `--no-autorenew` which causes any
obtained certificates to not be automatically renewed when it
approaches expiration.
- Support for parsing the TLS-ALPN-01 challenge has been added back to
the acme library.
### Changed
- Certbot's default ACME server has been changed to Let's Encrypt's
ACMEv2 endpoint. By default, this server will now be used for both
new certificate lineages and renewals.
- The Nginx plugin is no longer marked labeled as an "Alpha" version.
- The `prepare` method of Certbot's plugins is no longer called before
running "Updater" enhancements that are run on every invocation of
`certbot renew`.
### Added
- Support for the ready status type was added to acme. Without this change,
Certbot and acme users will begin encountering errors when using Let's
Encrypt's ACMEv2 API starting on June 19th for the staging environment and
July 5th for production. See
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/acmev2-order-ready-status/62866 for more
information.
- Certbot now accepts the flag --reuse-key which will cause the same key to be
used in the certificate when the lineage is renewed rather than generating a
new key.
- You can now add multiple email addresses to your ACME account with Certbot by
providing a comma separated list of emails to the --email flag.
- Support for Let's Encrypt's upcoming TLS-ALPN-01 challenge was added to acme.
For more information, see
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/tls-alpn-validation-method/63814/1.
- acme now supports specifying the source address to bind to when sending
outgoing connections. You still cannot specify this address using Certbot.
- If you run Certbot against Let's Encrypt's ACMEv2 staging server but don't
already have an account registered at that server URL, Certbot will
automatically reuse your staging account from Let's Encrypt's ACMEv1 endpoint
if it exists.
- Interfaces were added to Certbot allowing plugins to be called at additional
points. The `GenericUpdater` interface allows plugins to perform actions
every time `certbot renew` is run, regardless of whether any certificates are
due for renewal, and the `RenewDeployer` interface allows plugins to perform
actions when a certificate is renewed. See `certbot.interfaces` for more
information.
### Changed
- When running Certbot with --dry-run and you don't already have a staging
account, the created account does not contain an email address even if one
was provided to avoid expiration emails from Let's Encrypt's staging server.
- certbot-nginx does a better job of automatically detecting the location of
Nginx's configuration files when run on BSD based systems.
- acme now requires and uses pytest when running tests with setuptools with
`python setup.py test`.
- `certbot config_changes` no longer waits for user input before exiting.
### Fixed
- Misleading log output that caused users to think that Certbot's standalone
plugin failed to bind to a port when performing a challenge has been
corrected.
- An issue where certbot-nginx would fail to enable HSTS if the server block
already had an `add_header` directive has been resolved.
- certbot-nginx now does a better job detecting the server block to base the
configuration for TLS-SNI challenges on.
### Added
- Support for obtaining wildcard certificates and a newer version of the ACME
protocol such as the one implemented by Let's Encrypt's upcoming ACMEv2
endpoint was added to Certbot and its ACME library. Certbot still works with
older ACME versions and will automatically change the version of the protocol
used based on the version the ACME CA implements.
- The Apache and Nginx plugins are now able to automatically install a wildcard
certificate to multiple virtual hosts that you select from your server
configuration.
- The `certbot install` command now accepts the `--cert-name` flag for
selecting a certificate.
- `acme.client.BackwardsCompatibleClientV2` was added to Certbot's ACME library
which automatically handles most of the differences between new and old ACME
versions. `acme.client.ClientV2` is also available for people who only want
to support one version of the protocol or want to handle the differences
between versions themselves.
- certbot-auto now supports the flag --install-only which has the script
install Certbot and its dependencies and exit without invoking Certbot.
- Support for issuing a single certificate for a wildcard and base domain was
added to our Google Cloud DNS plugin. To do this, we now require your API
credentials have additional permissions, however, your credentials will
already have these permissions unless you defined a custom role with fewer
permissions than the standard DNS administrator role provided by Google.
These permissions are also only needed for the case described above so it
will continue to work for existing users. For more information about the
permissions changes, see the documentation in the plugin.
### Changed
- We have broken lockstep between our ACME library, Certbot, and its plugins.
This means that the different components do not need to be the same version
to work together like they did previously. This makes packaging easier
because not every piece of Certbot needs to be repackaged to ship a change to
a subset of its components.
- Support for Python 2.6 and Python 3.3 has been removed from ACME, Certbot,
Certbot's plugins, and certbot-auto. If you are using certbot-auto on a RHEL
6 based system, it will walk you through the process of installing Certbot
with Python 3 and refuse to upgrade to a newer version of Certbot until you
have done so.
- Certbot's components now work with older versions of setuptools to simplify
packaging for EPEL 7.
### Fixed
- Issues caused by Certbot's Nginx plugin adding multiple ipv6only directives
has been resolved.
- A problem where Certbot's Apache plugin would add redundant include
directives for the TLS configuration managed by Certbot has been fixed.
- Certbot's webroot plugin now properly deletes any directories it creates.
### Added
- Support for the HTTP-01 challenge type was added to our Apache and Nginx
plugins.
- IPv6 support was added to the Nginx plugin.
- Support for automatically creating server blocks based on the default server
block was added to the Nginx plugin.
- The flags --delete-after-revoke and --no-delete-after-revoke were added
allowing users to control whether the revoke subcommand also deletes the
certificates it is revoking.
### Changed
- We deprecated support for Python 2.6 and Python 3.3 in Certbot and its ACME
library.
- We split our implementation of JOSE (Javascript Object Signing and
Encryption) out of our ACME library and into a separate package named josepy.
- We updated the ciphersuites used in Apache to the new values recommended by
Mozilla
### Fixed
- An issue with our Apache plugin on Gentoo due to differences in their
apache2ctl command have been resolved.
### Added
- Support in our nginx plugin for modifying SSL server blocks that do
not contain certificate or key directives.
- A `--max-log-backups` flag to allow users to configure or even completely
disable Certbot's built in log rotation.
- A `--user-agent-comment` flag to allow people who build tools around Certbot
to differentiate their user agent string by adding a comment to its default
value.
### Changed
- Due to some awesome work by cryptography project, compilation can now be
avoided on most systems when using certbot-auto.
- The `--renew-hook` flag has been hidden in favor of `--deploy-hook`.
- We have started printing deprecation warnings in certbot-auto for
experimentally supported systems with OS packages available.
- A certificate lineage's name is included in error messages during renewal.
### Fixed
- Encoding errors that could occur when parsing error messages from the ACME
server containing Unicode have been resolved.
- certbot-auto no longer prints misleading messages about there being a newer
pip version available when installation fails.
- Certbot's ACME library now properly extracts domains from critical SAN
extensions.
Use ALTERNATIVES to handle different Python versions better.
0.14.0 - 2017-05-04
Added
- Python 3.3+ support for all Certbot packages. certbot-auto still
currently only supports Python 2, but the acme, certbot,
certbot-apache, and certbot-nginx packages on PyPI now fully support
Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3+.
- Certbot's Apache plugin now handles multiple virtual hosts per file.
- Lockfiles to prevent multiple versions of Certbot running
simultaneously.
Changed
- When converting an HTTP virtual host to HTTPS in Apache, Certbot
only copies the virtual host rather than the entire contents of the
file it's contained in.
- The Nginx plugin now includes SSL/TLS directives in a separate file
located in Certbot's configuration directory rather than copying the
contents of the file into every modified server block.
Fixed
- Ensure logging is configured before parts of Certbot attempt to log
any messages.
- Support for the --quiet flag in certbot-auto.
- Reverted a change made in a previous release to make the acme and
certbot packages always depend on argparse. This dependency is
conditional again on the user's Python version.
- Small bugs in the Nginx plugin such as properly handling empty
server blocks and setting server_names_hash_bucket_size during
challenges.

Certbot, previously the Let's Encrypt Client, is EFF's tool to
obtain certs from Let's Encrypt, and (optionally) autoenable HTTPS
on your server. It can also act as a client for any other CA that
uses the ACME protocol.
