2.2 |
4 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
5 |
- convert from iom.C to libev, a high-performance event loop |
6 |
(http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev). |
7 |
- tcp connections were leaking in some cases. |
8 |
- save a lot of setsockopt calls when the tos doesn't change. |
9 |
- changed callback mechanism to be slightly less portable |
10 |
but more efficient mechanism (standards-compliant c++ compilers |
11 |
should work). |
12 |
- upgraded liblzf to version 3.1. |
13 |
- dropped -fno-exceptions due to ev++.h using it. |
14 |
- bugfixes. |

2.01 Thu Mar 29 19:26:04 CEST 2007 |
17 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
18 |
- bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to |
19 |
be corrupted on architectures like sparc before. |
20 |
- dns transport retries more aggressively. |
21 |
- updated documentation, improved dns transport reliability |
22 |
and throughput. |
23 |
- added experimental support for sha256 and sha512 digests. |

2.0 Mon Dec 5 13:59:26 CET 2005 |
26 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
27 |
- implement allow-direct, deny-direct node config statements. |
28 |
- implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where |
29 |
gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host |
30 |
even though it had received packets from it's new address. |
31 |
This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after |
32 |
your ip address changed, which is *required*. |
33 |
- sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections. This fixes a bug |
34 |
where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused |
35 |
connections to fail when only one side can connect. |
36 |
- fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe |
37 |
accept out-of-window packets in most cases. |
38 |
- tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow |
39 |
conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering. |
40 |
- replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by |
41 |
more useful log messages. |
42 |
- fix spurious extra newline in some log messages. |

1.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005 |
45 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
46 |
- WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc. |
47 |
scripts and exits on failure. |
48 |
- IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh. |
49 |
- IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done |
50 |
automatically in most configurations. |
51 |
- options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too. |
52 |
- make some DNS transport values configurable and document them. |
53 |
- improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5). |
54 |
- new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap |
55 |
driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested |
56 |
it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available. |
57 |
- new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the |
58 |
*bsd-drivers taken from tinc. |
59 |
- fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction |
60 |
when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no |
61 |
cpu time unless it is in use, too. |
62 |
- information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts. |
63 |
- the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up |
64 |
etc. scripts. |
65 |
- skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping |
66 |
parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config. |
67 |
|
68 |
1.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005 |
69 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
70 |
- enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols |
71 |
are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled. |
72 |
- implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future). |
73 |
- remove support for pre-release version protocol. |
74 |
- updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented |
75 |
tincd drivers a bit better. |
76 |
- document icmp configuration values. |
77 |
- document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7). |
78 |
- remove unused ChangeLog file. |
79 |
- created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de. |
80 |
- added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against |
81 |
OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No |
82 |
GNUTLS conversion in sight. |
83 |
- some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls. |
84 |
|
85 |
1.7 Tue Feb 22 23:58:59 CET 2005 |
86 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
87 |
- first gnu release. |
88 |
- documented the special value 1 for router-priority. |
89 |
- renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as |
90 |
vped.conf => gvpe.conf. |
91 |
- new per-node option "max-retry". |
92 |
- asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously. |
93 |
- new configure option --enable-static-daemon. |
94 |
- fix configure --help output. |
95 |
- many documentation layout fixes. |
96 |
- synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode. |
97 |
- try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes. |
98 |
- revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx. |
99 |
- considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc. |

1.6.1 Wed May 12 14:48:20 CEST 2004 |
102 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
103 |
- fix -c switch that has been broken due to a last-minute fix |
104 |
to option and config file parsing. |
105 |
|
106 |
1.6 Mon May 10 20:55:10 CEST 2004 |
107 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
108 |
- do not RESET on out-of-sequence packets (good for wireless). |
109 |
- various non-security-related bugfixes. |
110 |
- c++ify (at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should make |
111 |
it a little bit more standard c++). |
112 |
|
113 |
1.5 Fri Jan 30 00:50:04 CET 2004 |
114 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
115 |
- vped will refuse to start when hostkey and public key do not match. |
116 |
- updated lzf code to version 1.2. |
117 |
- better error reporting for "unusual" conditions, like failing |
118 |
to allocate memory, that should not normally happen and |
119 |
will otherwise result in spurious other error messages. Also |
120 |
adds paranoid checks in case openssl's API changes in a bad way. |
121 |
- fix a bug where queued vpn packets were cleared to zero. while |
122 |
this doesn't affect security, it did cause warning messages and |
123 |
unnecessary connectivity delays. |
124 |
|
125 |
1.4 Sat Jan 17 15:49:21 CET 2004 |
126 |
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. |
127 |
- better retry behaviour on key mismatch. |
128 |
- use select-based io_manager instead of poll-based one. |
129 |
- share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe. |
130 |
- sooo many *BSD workarounds because no BSD I could find is even |
131 |
remotely POSIX-compatible. |
132 |
|
133 |
1.2 Fri Oct 17 03:44:44 CEST 2003 |
134 |
- protocol version 0.1. |
135 |
- tincd kernel interface code imported, more supported platforms |
136 |
(native/linux (2.4), tincd/linux (2.2 and 2.4), tincd/freebsd, |
137 |
native/cygwin). |
138 |
- added primitive ethernet emulation (ipv4 only), which allows |
139 |
the following platforms that only have tun drivers to work: |
140 |
/* none yet tested */ |
141 |
- portability workarounds, especially for unfriendly freebsd |
142 |
- very minor bugfixes |
143 |
- warnings when choosing insecure ciphers/hashes |
144 |
- reduced default hmac length to 8. |
145 |
- cvs now contains configure, Makefile.in and other generated files. |
146 |
- added doc/complex-example to the distribution. |
147 |
|
148 |
1.0 distant past |
149 |
- protocol version 0.1. |
150 |
- tweaked various timeouts to help very slow (486) class |
151 |
machines or nets with many hosts. |
152 |
- tweaked rate-limiting to be more forgiving for hosts |
153 |
connecting through routers (not a fix). |
