Hello, I would like to announce the release of 1.7.0-rc1 with the following CHANGELOG: ### 1.7.0-rc1 - 2021-09-10   * DB Schema Change from 5 to 7.     - **Backup your DB before upgrading**   * Fixed compilation issues with GCC11.   * Fixed errors on releases due to newer compilers from failing by only adding `-Werror` for non-release builds.   * Fixed error message when the DB is too new in tpm2\_ptool.   * Added support for tpm2\_ptool import with ssh-keygen format keys. Note: Requires cryptography >= 3.0.   * Changed default long level from error to warning.   * Added better error message for FAPI backend errors along with [docs/FAPI.md](docs/FAPI.md) document.   * Changed `tpm2_ptool` make `--algorithm` optional.   * Fixed error message of wrong attribute name on expected attribute check to be false.   * Added support for ECDSA 256, 384 and 512.   * Fixed a bug in the Python code DB upgrade path from 4 to 5 where it didn't add AES mode CTR to     CKA\_ALLOWED\_MECHANISMS.   * Added tpm2\_ptool support for ECC key size 192.   * Added support passwordless login for tokens, ie not setting CKF\_LOGIN\_REQUIRED.   * Fixed Running integration tests when Java version has the `-ea`, like on Debian 11 and OpenJDK 17.   * Added support for HMAC keys using tpm2\_ptool and the C\_Sign and C\_Verify interfaces.     The following interfaces in ptool have support:       - addkey: previous working versions of tpm2-tools will support this.       - link: previous working versions of tpm2-tools will support this.       - import: requires tpm2-tools 5.2+ for support.   * Fixed leaking of temp file descriptors in tpm2\_ptool.   * Fixed wrong free in tpm code, should use Esys\_Free.   * Fixed a space formatting issue in tpm2\_ptool verify.   * Fixed leaked file descriptor in tpm2\_ptool.   * Fixed a few suspicious sizeof usages in str\_padded\_copy   * Fixed a memory leak of the token list on a failure condition in initialization.
