1GVPE NEWS
2
3 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no longer enable udp protocol if no other
4 protocols are enabled - this is necessary when you have nodes with
5 completely unknown protocols, to force mediated connection requests.
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: dns transport protocol bumped to version 2.
7 - configure didn't detect openssl 1.0 because SHA1_version became private
8 (patch by TANIGUCHI Takaki).
9 - core protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
10 - fix a bug where nodes would tell the other side that it supports
11 the same protocols as that other side, instead of its own.
12 - add zlib when found, as openssl depends on it in newer versions.
13 - work around append-bugs in uclibc by using an extra seek.
14 - new "include" directive for the config file.
15 - gvpectrl no longer evaluates any "on" directives.
16 - icmp and rawip protocols weren't upgradable to each other.
17 - major, but incremental, dns transport improvements:
18 - do not simply abort in some error cases in the dns transport,
19 but try to recover.
20 - allow lowercase/uppercase alises for base-n encodings that do
21 not rely on case.
22 - use base26 instead of base22 encoding for dns syn's, and
23 base36 instead of base22 for headers (saves one byte/packet).
24 - back off far quicker in dns tunnel when idling - increases
25 latency on an idle link somewhat, but avoids hundreds of
26 needless packets.
27 - poll more aggressively when idling in dns (poll once per
28 second as opposed to once per 5 seconds).
29 - upgrade to libev 4 API.
30
312.24 Sat Feb 12 05:15:48 CET 2011
32 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
33 - due to a bug, when packets were lost, a connection could go into a
34 state where a ping/connection request from another node would be
35 ignored, leading to connections not being re-established.
36 - due to a bug, compression was almost always enabled.
37 - enable-max-mtu was actually enable-mtu, contrary to documentation.
38 - add nfmark support.
39 - add node-change script support.
40 - new DESTSI variable for node-xxx scripts.
41 - updated codingstyle a bit, declared truly static stuff as static.
42 - clarify compression docs.
43
442.22 Sun Feb 1 17:25:28 CET 2009
45 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
46 - enabled icmp/tcp/http-proxy protocols by default.
47 - updated copyright in program greetings.
48 - fix some configure messages.
49 - updated to libev 3.52.
50
512.21 Wed Sep 3 06:56:27 CEST 2008
52 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
53 - add missing ev++.h include header to tarball, which everybody
54 who tested it apparently had in their include path :(. Caught
55 by Karl Kleinpaste and Marcus Kong.
56
572.2 Mon Sep 1 06:28:09 CEST 2008
58 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
59 but upgrade is recommended to due changed ondemand behaviour.
60 - new per-node options max-ttl and max-queue.
61 - convert from iom.C to libev, a high-performance event loop
62 (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
63 - tcp connections were leaking in some cases.
64 - retry more aggressively (once/s) to establish a connection if
65 new packets arrive for it.
66 - save a lot of setsockopt calls when the tos doesn't change.
67 - honor disabled even on initial connect attempt.
68 - changed callback mechanism to be slightly less portable
69 but more efficient mechanism (standards-compliant c++ compilers
70 should work).
71 - increased receive window positive size, to allow for massive
72 packet loss due to occasional longer drop-outs.
73 - send RST when a positive window size violation is detected, but
74 not in other cases, to reconnect more quickly.
75 - upgraded liblzf to version 3.4.
76 - dropped -fno-exceptions due to ev++.h using it.
77 - node-up/down scripts are now run in sequence.
78 - new -q switch for gvpectrl, for when you run it often.
79 - work around the horribly inconsistent, ad-hoc, ever-changing
80 and broken texinfo syntax. YMMV. avoid texinfo.
81 - keepalive is more aggressive now, sensding ping's every 3 seconds
82 and killing the conenction after 15 seconds.
83 - bugfixes.
84
852.01 Thu Mar 29 19:26:04 CEST 2007
86 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
87 - bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to
88 be corrupted on architectures like sparc before.
89 - dns transport retries more aggressively.
90 - updated documentation, improved dns transport reliability
91 and throughput.
92 - added experimental support for sha256 and sha512 digests.
93
942.0 Mon Dec 5 13:59:26 CET 2005
95 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
96 - implement allow-direct, deny-direct node config statements.
97 - implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where
98 gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host
99 even though it had received packets from it's new address.
100 This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after
101 your ip address changed, which is *required*.
102 - sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections. This fixes a bug
103 where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused
104 connections to fail when only one side can connect.
105 - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe
106 accept out-of-window packets in most cases.
107 - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow
108 conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering.
109 - replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by
110 more useful log messages.
111 - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages.
112
1131.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005
114 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
115 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
116 scripts and exits on failure.
117 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
118 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
119 automatically in most configurations.
120 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
121 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
122 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
123 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
124 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
125 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
126 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
127 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
128 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
129 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
130 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
131 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
132 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
133 etc. scripts.
134 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
135 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.
