29 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0. 7 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
30 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sextions are now introduced 8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sections are now introduced
31 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename". 9 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename".
10 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: gvpectrl -g will now generate a single
11 keypair, while -G will try to generate all keypairs as before.
12 - openssl 1.0.2 is the latest supported openssl release,
13 openssl 1.1.0 is not supported at the moment as the work to
14 make it compatible to both versions is just too much. a switch
15 to openssl 1.1 or another library will be done in a future release.
16 - update examples to not generate keys centrally, but locally on each
17 node.
18 - add workaround for temporary/rare ENOBUFS condition.
32 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session 19 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session
33 could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange. 20 could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange.
21 - fix a delete vs. delete [] mismatch in the central logging function.

35 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect 23 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect
36 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF. 24 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
37 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072). 25 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
38 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576. 26 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.

41 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections. 29 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections.
42 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but 30 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
43 only missing private keys. private keys are also put 31 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
44 into the configured location. 32 into the configured location.
45 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. 33 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
34 - switch to counter mode (only aes supported at the moment in
35 openssl). this gets rid of the need to generate a random iv,
36 is likely more secure (and, as a side effect, gets rid of
37 slow randomness generation. counter mode is often faster
38 then cbc mode as well, and packets are smaller).
46 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED 39 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED
47 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the 40 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the
48 openssl documentation). 41 openssl documentation).
49 - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported 42 - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported
50 and will be merged. 43 and will be merged.
51 - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section 44 - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section
52 of the config file. 45 of the config file.
53 - 12 random prefix bytes are now properly supported, leading to
54 a fully random IV.
55 - use aes with a random key in counter-mode to generate IVs,
56 for speed reasons (generating 12 random bytes with openssl can
57 take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs
58 do not need to be cryptographically strong random numbers
59 (and in fact, shouldn't be)).
60 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths. 46 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths.
61 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches. 47 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches.
62 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash 48 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash
63 (hint by Ilmari Karonen). 49 (hint by Ilmari Karonen).
64 - during rekeying or conenction establishments, hmac authentication 50 - during rekeying or connection establishments, hmac authentication
65 errors could occur and reset the connection. Transient hmac 51 errors could occur and reset the connection. Transient hmac
66 authentication errors are now being ignored for 3 seconds. 52 authentication errors are now being ignored for 3 seconds.
67 - log the reason for a conneciton loss. 53 - log the reason for a conneciton loss.
68 - use a (hopefully) constant time memcmp to compare internal secrets. 54 - use a (hopefully) constant time memcmp to compare internal secrets.
55 - fix a (harmless) errornous out of bounds stack read that would trigger
56 gcc's -fsanitize=address.
57 - bump old packet window size from 512 to 65536.
58 - update for big changes in openssl 1.1 API, wrap primitives
59 to make further changes easier.
60 - correctly check return values for openssl 1.0.0 and later.
61 - check for both public and private key file when deciding whether
62 to skip generating a key to avoid accidental overwrites.
