1TODO: EDNS0 option to increase dns mtu?
2
31.9
4 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
5 scripts and exits on failure.
6 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
7 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
8 automatically in most configurations.
9 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
10 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
11 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
12 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
13 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
14 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
15 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
16 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
17 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
18 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
19 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
20 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
21 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
22 etc. scripts.
23 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
24 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.

261.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
27 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
28 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
29 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
30 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
31 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
32 tincd drivers a bit better.
33 - document icmp configuration values.
34 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
35 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
36 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
37 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
38 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
39 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
40 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.

43 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
44 - first gnu release.
45 - documented the special value 1 for router-priority.
46 - renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as
47 vped.conf => gvpe.conf.
48 - new per-node option "max-retry".
49 - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously.
50 - new configure option --enable-static-daemon.
51 - fix configure --help output.
52 - many documentation layout fixes.
53 - synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode.
54 - try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes.
55 - revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx.
56 - considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc.
