The fix makes it use no + cpu time unless it is in use, too. + - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts. + - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up + etc. scripts. + - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping + parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config. + +1.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005 + - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols + are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled. + - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future). + - remove support for pre-release version protocol. + - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented + tincd drivers a bit better. + - document icmp configuration values. + - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7). + - remove unused ChangeLog file. + - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de. + - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against + OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No + GNUTLS conversion in sight. + - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls. + +1.7 Tue Feb 22 23:58:59 CET 2005 + - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. + - first gnu release. + - documented the special value 1 for router-priority. + - renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as + vped.conf => gvpe.conf. + - new per-node option "max-retry". + - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously. + - new configure option --enable-static-daemon. + - fix configure --help output. + - many documentation layout fixes. + - synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode. + - try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes. + - revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx. + - considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc. + +1.6.1 Wed May 12 14:48:20 CEST 2004 + - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. + - fix -c switch that has been broken due to a last-minute fix + to option and config file parsing. + +1.6 Mon May 10 20:55:10 CEST 2004 + - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. + - do not RESET on out-of-sequence packets (good for wireless). + - various non-security-related bugfixes. + - c++ify (at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should make + it a little bit more standard c++). + +1.5 Fri Jan 30 00:50:04 CET 2004 + - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. + - vped will refuse to start when hostkey and public key do not match. + - updated lzf code to version 1.2. + - better error reporting for "unusual" conditions, like failing + to allocate memory, that should not normally happen and + will otherwise result in spurious other error messages. Also + adds paranoid checks in case openssl's API changes in a bad way. + - fix a bug where queued vpn packets were cleared to zero. while + this doesn't affect security, it did cause warning messages and + unnecessary connectivity delays. + +1.4 Sat Jan 17 15:49:21 CET 2004 + - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. + - better retry behaviour on key mismatch. + - use select-based io_manager instead of poll-based one. + - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe. + - sooo many *BSD workarounds because no BSD I could find is even + remotely POSIX-compatible. + +1.2 Fri Oct 17 03:44:44 CEST 2003 + - protocol version 0.1. + - tincd kernel interface code imported, more supported platforms + (native/linux (2.4), tincd/linux (2.2 and 2.4), tincd/freebsd, + native/cygwin). + - added primitive ethernet emulation (ipv4 only), which allows + the following platforms that only have tun drivers to work: + /* none yet tested */ + - portability workarounds, especially for unfriendly freebsd + - very minor bugfixes + - warnings when choosing insecure ciphers/hashes + - reduced default hmac length to 8. + - cvs now contains configure, Makefile.in and other generated files. + - added doc/complex-example to the distribution. + +1.0 distant past + - protocol version 0.1. + - tweaked various timeouts to help very slow (486) class + machines or nets with many hosts. + - tweaked rate-limiting to be more forgiving for hosts + connecting through routers (not a fix). +
