The changelog is:

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 the cryptography project, compilation can now be avoided on most systems when using certbot-auto. This eliminates many problems people have had in the past such as running out of memory, having invalid headers/libraries, and changes to the OS packages on their system after compilation breaking Certbot.
  • The --renew-hook flag has been hidden in favor of --deploy-hook. This new flag works exactly the same way except it is always run when a certificate is issued rather than just when it is renewed.
  • 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.
