22TODO: protocol magic fixen(!!!)

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