In this release we have upgraded our Let’s Encrypt client Dehydrated to version 0.6.2, which fully supports version 2 of the Let’s Encrypt ACME protocol.

Existing users should not notice any changes, the only difference is that dehydrated should be invoked with the –accept-terms flag if used for the first time:

$ dehydrated --cron --create-dirs --accept-terms

Among the new features in version 0.6.2, Dehydrated now supports alternative names for a given domain:

# ~/.dehydrated/domains.txt
# to let Dehydrated manage SSL for a domain, put it in the config file
domain.com

# to use alternative names for the same domain, using the same certificate, add them on the line
domain.com www.domain.com
