8 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no longer enable udp protocol if no other
9 protocols are enabled - this is necessary when you have nodes with
10 completely unknown protocols, to force mediated connection requests.
11 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: dns transport protocol bumped to version 2.
12 - core protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
13 - switch to using RSA_generate_key_ex, which is the badly documented
14 and needlessly more complicated replacement for the RSA_generate_key
15 function which is now deprecated.
16 - support additional hmac hashes: sha256 and sha512, usually truncated.
17 - change public exponent for rsa keys from 65535 to 65537, for
18 efficiency reasons - only affects new keys.
19 - nodes would sometimes declare transport endpoints valid despite
20 the protocol not being configured locally.
21 - new global configuration options: chroot, chuser, chuid, chgid,
22 to chroot to a specified or anonymous new root, and change user id.
23 - new global configuration options seed_device and seed_interval,
24 to configure another device than /dev/urandom for random seeds,
25 and to configure a regular imterval to reseed the rng.
26 - prefer inet_aton over gethostbyname, as the latter is not guaranteed
27 to "resolve" literal ip addresses.
28 - configure didn't detect openssl 1.0 because SHA1_version became private
29 (patch by TANIGUCHI Takaki).
30 - fix a bug where nodes would tell the other side that it supports
31 the same protocols as that other side, instead of its own.
32 - add zlib when found, as openssl depends on it in newer versions.
33 - work around append-bugs in uclibc by using an extra seek.
34 - new "include" directive for the config file.
35 - gvpectrl no longer evaluates any "on" directives.
36 - icmp and rawip protocols weren't upgradable to each other.
37 - major, but incremental, dns transport improvements:
38 - do not simply abort in some error cases in the dns transport,
39 but try to recover.
40 - allow lowercase/uppercase alises for base-n encodings that do
41 not rely on case.
42 - use base26 instead of base22 encoding for dns syn's, and
43 base36 instead of base22 for headers (saves one byte/packet).
44 - back off far quicker in dns tunnel when idling - increases
45 latency on an idle link somewhat, but avoids hundreds of
46 needless packets.
47 - poll more aggressively when idling in dns (poll once per
48 second as opposed to once per 5 seconds).
49 - reduce dns send payload size to allow greater rate of ack
50 messages (should help sack and ipv6).
51 - allow for ip options in rawip/icmp transports, even though gvpe
52 doesn't generate them.
53 - upgrade to libev 4 API.
54
552.24 Sat Feb 12 05:15:48 CET 2011
56 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
57 - due to a bug, when packets were lost, a connection could go into a
58 state where a ping/connection request from another node would be
59 ignored, leading to connections not being re-established.
60 - due to a bug, compression was almost always enabled.
61 - enable-max-mtu was actually enable-mtu, contrary to documentation.
62 - add nfmark support.
63 - add node-change script support.
64 - new DESTSI variable for node-xxx scripts.
65 - updated codingstyle a bit, declared truly static stuff as static.
66 - clarify compression docs.
67
682.22 Sun Feb 1 17:25:28 CET 2009
69 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
70 - enabled icmp/tcp/http-proxy protocols by default.
71 - updated copyright in program greetings.
72 - fix some configure messages.
73 - updated to libev 3.52.
74
752.21 Wed Sep 3 06:56:27 CEST 2008
76 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
77 - add missing ev++.h include header to tarball, which everybody
78 who tested it apparently had in their include path :(. Caught
79 by Karl Kleinpaste and Marcus Kong.
80
812.2 Mon Sep 1 06:28:09 CEST 2008
82 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
83 but upgrade is recommended to due changed ondemand behaviour.
84 - new per-node options max-ttl and max-queue.
85 - convert from iom.C to libev, a high-performance event loop
86 (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
87 - tcp connections were leaking in some cases.
88 - retry more aggressively (once/s) to establish a connection if
89 new packets arrive for it.
90 - save a lot of setsockopt calls when the tos doesn't change.
91 - honor disabled even on initial connect attempt.
92 - changed callback mechanism to be slightly less portable
93 but more efficient mechanism (standards-compliant c++ compilers
94 should work).
95 - increased receive window positive size, to allow for massive
96 packet loss due to occasional longer drop-outs.
97 - send RST when a positive window size violation is detected, but
98 not in other cases, to reconnect more quickly.
99 - upgraded liblzf to version 3.4.
100 - dropped -fno-exceptions due to ev++.h using it.
101 - node-up/down scripts are now run in sequence.
102 - new -q switch for gvpectrl, for when you run it often.
103 - work around the horribly inconsistent, ad-hoc, ever-changing
104 and broken texinfo syntax. YMMV. avoid texinfo.
105 - keepalive is more aggressive now, sensding ping's every 3 seconds
106 and killing the conenction after 15 seconds.
107 - bugfixes.
108 - autoconf 2.69, automake 1.11.
109
1102.01 Thu Mar 29 19:26:04 CEST 2007
111 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
112 - bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to
113 be corrupted on architectures like sparc before.
114 - dns transport retries more aggressively.
115 - updated documentation, improved dns transport reliability
116 and throughput.
117 - added experimental support for sha256 and sha512 digests.
