-TODO: udpoate dcumentation, algorithm
-todo: keepalive more aggressive?
+	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: no longer enable udp protocol if no other
+          protocols are enabled - this is necessary when you have nodes with
+          completely unknown protocols, to force mediated connection requests.
+        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: dns transport protocol bumped to version 2.
+	- core protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
+        - fix a bug where nodes would tell the other side that it supports
+          the same protocols as that other side, instead of its own.
+        - add zlib when found, as openssl depends on it in newer versions.
+        - work around append-bugs in uclibc by using an extra seek.
+        - new "include" directive for the config file.
+        - major, but incremental, dns transport improvements:
+           - do not simply abort in some error cases in the dns transport,
+             but try to recover.
+           - allow lowercase/uppercase alises for base-n encodings that do
+             not rely on case.
+           - use base26 instead of base22 encoding for dns syn's, and
+             base36 instead of base22 for headers (saves one byte/packet).
+           - back off far quicker in dns tunnel when idling - increases
+             latency on an idle link somewhat, but avoids hundreds of
+             needless packets.
+           - poll more aggressively when idling in dns (poll once per
+             second as opposed to once per 5 seconds).

+	- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
+	- due to a bug, when packets were lost, a connection could go into a
+          state where a ping/connection request from another node would be
+          ignored, leading to connections not being re-established.
+        - due to a bug, compression was almost always enabled.
+	- enable-max-mtu was actually enable-mtu, contrary to documentation.
+	- add nfmark support.
+        - add node-change script support.
+        - new DESTSI variable for node-xxx scripts.
+        - updated codingstyle a bit, declared truly static stuff as static.
+        - clarify compression docs.

         - bugfixes.
