24 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
25 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session
26 could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange.
27 - in addition to rsa key exchange and authentication, the handshake now
28 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect
29 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
30 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
31 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.
32 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption.
33 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
34 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
35 into the configured location.
36 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
37 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED
38 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the
39 openssl documentation).
