28 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections. 28 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections.
29 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but 29 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
30 only missing private keys. private keys are also put 30 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
31 into the configured location. 31 into the configured location.
32 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere. 32 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
33 - switch to counter mode (only aes supported at the moment in
34 openssl). this gets rid of the need to generate a random iv,
35 is likely more secure (and, as a side effect, gets rid of
36 slow randomness generation. counter mode is often faster
37 then cbc mode as well).
33 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED 38 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED
34 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the 39 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the
35 openssl documentation). 40 openssl documentation).
36 - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported 41 - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported
37 and will be merged. 42 and will be merged.
38 - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section 43 - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section
39 of the config file. 44 of the config file.
40 - 12 random prefix bytes are now properly supported, leading to
41 a fully random IV.
42 - use aes with a random key in counter-mode to generate IVs,
43 for speed reasons (generating 12 random bytes with openssl can
44 take longer than encrypting and mac'ing a 1.5kb packet, and IVs
45 do not need to be cryptographically strong random numbers
46 (and in fact, shouldn't be)).
47 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths. 45 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths.
48 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches. 46 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches.
49 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash 47 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash
