27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0. 29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced 30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced
29 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename". 31 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename".

34 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF. 36 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
35 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072). 37 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
36 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576. 38 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.
37 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption. 39 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption.
40 - new per-node low-power setting that tries to reduce cpu/network usage.
41 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections.
38 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but 42 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
39 only missing private keys. private keys are also put 43 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
40 into the configured location. 44 into the configured location.
41 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. 45 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.

56 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths. 60 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths.
61 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches.
62 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash
63 (hint by Ilmari Karonen).
64 - during rekeying or conenction establishments, hmac authentication
65 errors could occur and reset the connection. Transient hmac
66 authentication errors are now being ignored for 3 seconds.
67 - log the reason for a conneciton loss.
68 - use a (hopefully) constant time memcmp to compare internal secrets.
