Cryptsetup 1.7.5 Release Notes
==============================
Changes since version 1.7.5
* Fixes to luksFormat to properly support recent kernel running in FIPS mode.
Cryptsetup must never use a weak key even if it is just used for testing
of algorithm availability. In FIPS mode, weak keys are always rejected.
A weak key is for example detected if the XTS encryption mode use
the same key for the tweak and the encryption part.
* Fixes accesses to unaligned hidden legacy TrueCrypt header.
On a native 4k-sector device the old hidden TrueCrypt header is not
aligned with the hw sector size (this problem was fixed in later TrueCrypt
on-disk format versions).
Cryptsetup now properly aligns the read so it does not fail.
* Fixes to optional dracut ramdisk scripts for offline re-encryption on initial boot.
