Lynis Changelog
===============
Lynis 2.2.1 (not released, development version)
Lynis 2.3.0 (2016-07-13)
-----------------------------------------------
We are excited to announce this major release of auditing tool Lynis. Several big
changes have been made to core functions of Lynis. These changes are the next of
simplification improvements we made. There is a risk of breaking your existing
configuration. See the tips below to upgrade.
This release will soon also be available in our software repository. For more
details see https://packages.cisofy.com to install and upgrade Lynis.
Upgrade tips
============
Several changes have been made to core functions of Lynis. These are to simplify
its usage, but might cause differences after upgrading. See the tips below to
make.
Custom profiles:
Instead of making changes to default.prf, copy your changes to custom.prf. Only
include the changes, as the values in default.prf are considered to be defaults.
Default profile and custom profiles:
Settings of multiple profiles can now be merged. Instead of making changes to
default.prf, copy your changes to custom.prf. Use 'lynis show profiles' to show
any detected profiles. Only include your changes in custom.prf, to keep the
configuration clean and tidy. They will then overwrite the defaults. Use
'lynis show settings' to see if they are applied.
Check your cron jobs:
When using --quiet, the output will be really quiet now.
Use --show-warnings-only if you still want to see warnings.
When using --quiet, the output will be really quiet now. Use --show-warnings-only
if you still want to see the warnings. Lynis will now exit with error 0, even
when warnings have been found. Use option error-on-warnings=yes (custom.prf) to
exit with code 78 when it has any warnings.
Lynis will exit with error 0, even when warnings have been found. Use option
error-on-warnings=yes (custom.prf) to exit with code 78 warnings.
Do not define a profile with --profile. Instead, put only your changes in the
new custom.prf.
