Certbot 0.16.0 has been released

The changelog for this release is:

Added

  • A plugin for performing DNS challenges using dynamic DNS updates as defined
    in RFC 2316. This plugin is packaged separately from Certbot and is available
    at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/certbot-dns-rfc2136. It supports Python 2.6,
    2.7, and 3.3+. At this time, there isn’t a good way to install this plugin
    when using certbot-auto, but this should change in the near future.
  • Plugins for performing DNS challenges for the providers
    DNS Made Easy and
    LuaDNS. These plugins are
    packaged separately from Certbot and support Python 2.7 and 3.3+. Currently,
    there isn’t a good way to install these plugins when using certbot-auto,
    but that should change soon.
  • Support for performing TLS-SNI-01 challenges when using the manual plugin.
  • Automatic detection of Arch Linux in the Apache plugin providing better
    default settings for the plugin.

Changed

  • The text of the interactive question about whether a redirect from HTTP to
    HTTPS should be added by Certbot has been rewritten to better explain the
    choices to the user.
  • Simplified HTTP challenge instructions in the manual plugin.

Fixed

  • Problems performing a dry run when using the Nginx plugin have been fixed.
  • Resolved an issue where certbot-dns-digitalocean’s test suite would sometimes
    fail when ran using Python 3.
  • On some systems, previous versions of certbot-auto would error out with a
    message about a missing hash for setuptools. This has been fixed.
  • A bug where Certbot would sometimes not print a space at the end of an
    interactive prompt has been resolved.
  • Nonfatal tracebacks are no longer shown in rare cases where Certbot
    encounters an exception trying to close its TCP connection with the ACME
    server.
