16 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: core protocol version 1.0.
17 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: node sections are now introduced
18 with "node nodename", not "node = nodename".
19 - add workaround for temporary/rare ENOBUFS condition.
20 - while individual packets couldn't be replayed, a whole session
21 could be replayed - this has been fixed by an extra key exchange.
22 - fix a delete vs. delete [] mismatch in the central logging function.
23 - in addition to rsa key exchange and authentication, the handshake now
24 adds a diffie-hellman key exchange (using curve25119) for perfect
25 forward secrecy. mac and cipher keys are derived using HKDF.
26 - rsa key sizes are now configurable and larger (default is 3072).
27 correspondingly, the minimum mtu is no longer 296 but 576.
28 - fixed a potential (unverified) buffer overrun on rsa decryption.
29 - new per-node low-power setting that tries to reduce cpu/network usage.
30 - router reconnects could cause excessive rekeying on other connections.
31 - gvpectrl no longer generates all missing public keys, but
32 only missing private keys. private keys are also put
33 into the configured location.
34 - the pid-file now accepts %s as nodename as elsewhere.
35 - switch to counter mode (only aes supported at the moment in
36 openssl). this gets rid of the need to generate a random iv,
37 is likely more secure (and, as a side effect, gets rid of
38 slow randomness generation. counter mode is often faster
39 then cbc mode as well, and packets are smaller).
40 - no longer use RAND_bytes to generate session keys - you NEED
41 a real source of entropy now (e.g. egd or /dev/random - see the
42 openssl documentation).
43 - multiple node statements for the same node are now supported
44 and will be merged.
45 - a new directive "global" switches back to the global section
46 of the config file.
47 - if-up scripts can now be specified with absolute paths.
48 - new global option: serial, to detect configuration mismatches.
49 - use HKDF as authentication proof, not HMAC or a plain hash
50 (hint by Ilmari Karonen).
51 - during rekeying or conenction establishments, hmac authentication
52 errors could occur and reset the connection. Transient hmac
53 authentication errors are now being ignored for 3 seconds.
54 - log the reason for a conneciton loss.
55 - use a (hopefully) constant time memcmp to compare internal secrets.
56 - fix a (harmless) errornous out of bounds stack read that would trigger
57 gcc's -fsanitize=address.
58 - bump old packet window size from 512 to 65536.
