package albatross

v1.5.0 (2022-05-16)

• Revise Name.t to use ':' as path separation, and allow '.' in labels. Previously the path was built by the common name in the X.509 certificate chain and the leaf certificate was appended (i.e. chain certificate "foo", chain certificate "bar", leaf certificate "my.unikernel" lead to the name "foo.bar.my.unikernel" -- and chain certificate "foo", leaf "bar.my.unikernel" lead to the identical name). Since the holder of the certificate and private key "foo" could issue at any point another intermediate certificate for "bar", this is not security critical -- but for resource management this was confusing and lead to some issues (policy could be violated). Now, the path separator is ':' (i.e. "foo:bar:my.unikernel" and "foo:bar.my.unikernel"). In addition, various test cases have been added, for vmm_trie, vmm_resources and also for old and new wire versions (albatross daemon state, command execution) to ensure that old clients continue to work with new server components. The wire version has been bumped to WV5, since the Name.t encoding was changed. (#111, @hannesm @reynir)
