27 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0. 28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
28 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced 29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced
29 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename". 30 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename".
30 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session 31 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session
31 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.
33 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect 34 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect
34 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF. 35 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
35 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072). 36 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
36 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576. 37 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.
37 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption. 38 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption.
39 - new per-node low-power setting that tries to reduce cpu/network usage.
40 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections.
38 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but 41 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
39 only missing private keys. private keys are also put 42 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
40 into the configured location. 43 into the configured location.
41 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. 44 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
42 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED 45 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED
53 take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs 56 take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs

56 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths. 59 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths.
57 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches. 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.
