proshield (3.8.21) * ProShield would say that AllowUnauthenticated was set, even when it was not (a bug). Resolved incorrect logic flow on this one.
proshield (3.8.20) * Improved wording of notice added in last release. * Two other trivial phrasing changes.
Added note for Debian users that it's OK for them to remove that AllowUnauthenticated flag.
* Removal of case statement in last release led to leftover punctuation. Bash scripts bail on syntax errors. Removed ";;"punctuation on line 743. * Also fixed an echoing of the allowunauthenticated line to the screen near line 366.
* Due to Ubuntu bug #195419, removed ProShield dependency on the APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true"; setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf. If machine has this set, will alert user and ask them if they would like ProShield to remove this flag. The bug would prevent users (particularly users of 7.04) from upgrading to a newer version of Ubuntu. Up until this release, ProShield has set this flag for new users, but after I myself was unable to upgrade a 7.04 box to 7.10, I found this bug. ProShield now specifies --allow-unauthenticated on the command-line to apt-get when it calls it for package operations. If user chooses to remove this flag, ProShield will also be helpful and remove any duplicate lines (sort | uniq) from /etc/apt/apt.conf, which I suspect ProShield puts when it touches /etc/apt/apt.conf upon first-run (the duplicate lines are a trivial thing though).
