27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced
29 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename".
30 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session
31 could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange.
32 - in addition to rsa key exchange and authentication, the handshake now
33 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect
34 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
35 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
36 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.
37 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption.
38 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections.
39 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
40 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
41 into the configured location.
42 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
43 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED
44 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the
45 openssl documentation).
46 - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported
47 and will be merged.
48 - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section
49 of the config file.
50 - 12 random prefix bytes are now properly supported, leading to
51 a fully random IV.
52 - use aes with a random key in counter-mode to generate IVs,
53 for speed reasons (generating 12 random bytes with openssl can
54 take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs
55 do not need to be cryptographically strong random numbers
56 (and in fact, shouldn't be)).
57 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths.
58 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches.
59 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash
60 (hint by Ilmari Karonen).
61 - during rekeying or conenction establishments, hmac authentication
62 errors could occur and reset the connection. Transient hmac
63 authentication errors are now being ignored for 3 seconds.
64 - log the reason for a conneciton loss.
