71.5 3 - bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to
4 be corrupted on architectures like sparc before.

62.0 Mon Dec 5 13:59:26 CET 2005
8 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases. 7 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
8 - implement allow-direct, deny-direct node config statements.
9 - implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where
10 gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host
11 even though it had received packets from it's new address.
12 This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after
13 your ip address changed, which is *required*.
14 - sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections. This fixes a bug
15 where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused
16 connections to fail when only one side can connect.
17 - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe
18 accept out-of-window packets in most cases.
19 - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow
20 conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering.
21 - replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by
22 more useful log messages.
23 - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages.
24
251.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005
26 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
27 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
28 scripts and exits on failure.
29 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
30 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
31 automatically in most configurations.
32 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
33 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
34 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
35 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
36 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
37 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
38 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
39 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
40 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
41 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
42 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
43 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
44 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
45 etc. scripts.
46 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
47 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.
48
491.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
50 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
51 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
52 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
53 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
54 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
55 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
56 tincd drivers a bit better.
57 - document icmp configuration values.
58 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
59 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
60 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
61 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
62 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
63 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
64 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.
65
661.7 Tue Feb 22 23:58:59 CET 2005
67 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
68 - first gnu release.
69 - documented the special value 1 for router-priority.
70 - renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as
71 vped.conf => gvpe.conf.
72 - new per-node option "max-retry".
73 - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously.
74 - new configure option --enable-static-daemon.
75 - fix configure --help output.
76 - many documentation layout fixes.
77 - synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode.
78 - try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes.
79 - revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx.
80 - considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc.
81
821.6.1 Wed May 12 14:48:20 CEST 2004
83 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
84 - fix -c switch that has been broken due to a last-minute fix
85 to option and config file parsing.
86
871.6 Mon May 10 20:55:10 CEST 2004
88 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
89 - do not RESET on out-of-sequence packets (good for wireless).
90 - various non-security-related bugfixes.
91 - c++ify (at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should make
92 it a little bit more standard c++).
93
941.5 Fri Jan 30 00:50:04 CET 2004
95 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
96 - vped will refuse to start when hostkey and public key do not match.
97 - updated lzf code to version 1.2.
98 - better error reporting for "unusual" conditions, like failing
99 to allocate memory, that should not normally happen and
100 will otherwise result in spurious other error messages. Also
101 adds paranoid checks in case openssl's API changes in a bad way.
9 - fix a bug where queued vpn packets were cleared to zero. while 102 - fix a bug where queued vpn packets were cleared to zero. while
10 this doesn't affect security, it did cause warning messages and 103 this doesn't affect security, it did cause warning messages and
11 unnecessary connectivity delays. 104 unnecessary connectivity delays.
