# Versioning and stdin key
## 1.5
Due to distraction tomb version 1.5 displays its version as 1.4.
Also version 1.5 did not work when using -k - to pipe keys from
stdin, plus left the encrypted keys laying around in RAM (tmpfs).
This was a minor vulnerability fixed in 1.5.1.
# Key compatibility broken
## 1.3 and 1.3.1
Due to an error in the creation and decoding of key files, release
versions 1.3 and 1.3.1 cannot open older tombs, plus the tombs created
with them will not be opened with older and newer versions of Tomb.
This bug was fixed in commit 551a7839f500a9ba4b26cd63774019d91615cb16
Those who have created tombs with older versions can simply upgrade
to release 1.4 (and any other following release) to fix this issue
and be able to operate their tombs normally.
Those who have used Tomb 1.3 or 1.3.1 to create new tombs should use
Tomb version 1.3.1 (available from https://files.dyne.org/tomb) to
open them and then migrate the contents into a new tomb created using
the latest stable Tomb version.
This bug was due to a typo in the code which appended a GnuPG status
string to the content of keys. All users of Tomb 1.3.* should pay
particular attention to this issue, however that release series was
out as latest for less than a month.
