11.7 1gvpe NEWS
2 - started to gnuify vpe. 2
3TODO: udpoate dcumentation, algorithm
4todo: keepalive more aggressive?
5
62.2
7 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases,
8 but upgrade is recommended to due changed ondemand behaviour.
9 - new per-node options max-ttl and max-queue.
10 - convert from iom.C to libev, a high-performance event loop
11 (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
12 - tcp connections were leaking in some cases.
13 - retry more aggressively (once/s) to establish a connection if
14 new packets arrive for it.
15 - save a lot of setsockopt calls when the tos doesn't change.
16 - honor disabled even on initial connect attempt.
17 - changed callback mechanism to be slightly less portable
18 but more efficient mechanism (standards-compliant c++ compilers
19 should work).
20 - increased receive window positive size, to allow for massive
21 packet loss due to occasional longer drop-outs.
22 - send RST when a positive window size violation is detected, but
23 not in other cases, to reconnect more quickly.
24 - upgraded liblzf to version 3.2.
25 - dropped -fno-exceptions due to ev++.h using it.
26 - node-up/down scripts are now run in sequence.
27 - new -q switch for gvpectrl, for when you run it often.
28 - bugfixes.
29
302.01 Thu Mar 29 19:26:04 CEST 2007
31 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
32 - bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to
33 be corrupted on architectures like sparc before.
34 - dns transport retries more aggressively.
35 - updated documentation, improved dns transport reliability
36 and throughput.
37 - added experimental support for sha256 and sha512 digests.
38
392.0 Mon Dec 5 13:59:26 CET 2005
40 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
41 - implement allow-direct, deny-direct node config statements.
42 - implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where
43 gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host
44 even though it had received packets from it's new address.
45 This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after
46 your ip address changed, which is *required*.
47 - sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections. This fixes a bug
48 where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused
49 connections to fail when only one side can connect.
50 - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe
51 accept out-of-window packets in most cases.
52 - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow
53 conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering.
54 - replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by
55 more useful log messages.
56 - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages.
57
581.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005
59 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
60 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
61 scripts and exits on failure.
62 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
63 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
64 automatically in most configurations.
65 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
66 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
67 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
68 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
69 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
70 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
71 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
72 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
73 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
74 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
75 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
76 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
77 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
78 etc. scripts.
79 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
80 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.
81
821.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
83 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
84 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
85 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
86 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
87 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
88 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
89 tincd drivers a bit better.
90 - document icmp configuration values.
91 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
92 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
93 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
94 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
95 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
96 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
97 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.

100 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
101 - first gnu release.
102 - documented the special value 1 for router-priority.
103 - renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as
104 vped.conf => gvpe.conf.
105 - new per-node option "max-retry".
3 - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously. 106 - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously.
4 - new configure option --enable-static-daemon. 107 - new configure option --enable-static-daemon.
5 - fix configure --help output. 108 - fix configure --help output.
109 - many documentation layout fixes.
110 - synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode.
111 - try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes.
112 - revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx.
113 - considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc.
