3 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no longer enable udp protocol if no other 8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no longer enable udp protocol if no other
4 protocols are enabled - this is necessary when you have nodes with 9 protocols are enabled - this is necessary when you have nodes with
5 completely unknown protocols, to force mediated connection requests. 10 completely unknown protocols, to force mediated connection requests.
6 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: dns transport protocol bumped to version 2. 11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: dns transport protocol bumped to version 2.
7 - core protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. 12 - core protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
13 - switch to using RSA_generate_key_ex, which is the badly documented
14 and needlessly more complicated replacement for the RSA_generate_key
15 function which is now deprecated.
16 - support additional hmac hashes: sha256 and sha512, usually truncated.
17 - change public exponent for rsa keys from 65535 to 65537, for
18 efficiency reasons - only affects new keys.
19 - nodes would sometimes declare transport endpoints valid despite
20 the protocol not being configured locally.
21 - new global configuration options: chroot, chuser, chuid, chgid,
22 to chroot to a specified or anonymous new root, and change user id.
23 - new global configuration options seed_device and seed_interval,
24 to configure another device than /dev/urandom for random seeds,
25 and to configure a regular imterval to reseed the rng.
26 - prefer inet_aton over gethostbyname, as the latter is not guaranteed
27 to "resolve" literal ip addresses.
28 - configure didn't detect openssl 1.0 because SHA1_version became private
29 (patch by TANIGUCHI Takaki).
8 - fix a bug where nodes would tell the other side that it supports 30 - fix a bug where nodes would tell the other side that it supports
9 the same protocols as that other side, instead of its own. 31 the same protocols as that other side, instead of its own.
10 - add zlib when found, as openssl depends on it in newer versions. 32 - add zlib when found, as openssl depends on it in newer versions.
11 - work around append-bugs in uclibc by using an extra seek. 33 - work around append-bugs in uclibc by using an extra seek.

13 - gvpectrl no longer evaluates any "on" directives. 35 - gvpectrl no longer evaluates any "on" directives.
36 - icmp and rawip protocols weren't upgradable to each other.

22 latency on an idle link somewhat, but avoids hundreds of 45 latency on an idle link somewhat, but avoids hundreds of
23 needless packets. 46 needless packets.
24 - poll more aggressively when idling in dns (poll once per 47 - poll more aggressively when idling in dns (poll once per
25 second as opposed to once per 5 seconds). 48 second as opposed to once per 5 seconds).
49 - reduce dns send payload size to allow greater rate of ack
50 messages (should help sack and ipv6).
51 - allow for ip options in rawip/icmp transports, even though gvpe
52 doesn't generate them.
26 - upgrade to libev 4 API. 53 - upgrade to libev 4 API.
