32.2 Mon Sep 1 06:28:09 CEST 2008
4 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases,
5 but upgrade is recommended to due changed ondemand behaviour.
6 - new per-node options max-ttl and max-queue.
7 - convert from iom.C to libev, a high-performance event loop
8 (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
9 - tcp connections were leaking in some cases.
10 - retry more aggressively (once/s) to establish a connection if
11 new packets arrive for it.
12 - save a lot of setsockopt calls when the tos doesn't change.
13 - honor disabled even on initial connect attempt.
14 - changed callback mechanism to be slightly less portable
15 but more efficient mechanism (standards-compliant c++ compilers
16 should work).
17 - increased receive window positive size, to allow for massive
18 packet loss due to occasional longer drop-outs.
19 - send RST when a positive window size violation is detected, but
20 not in other cases, to reconnect more quickly.
21 - upgraded liblzf to version 3.4.
22 - dropped -fno-exceptions due to ev++.h using it.
23 - node-up/down scripts are now run in sequence.
24 - new -q switch for gvpectrl, for when you run it often.
25 - work around the horribly inconsistent, ad-hoc, ever-changing
26 and broken texinfo syntax. YMMV. avoid texinfo.
27 - keepalive is more aggressive now, sensding ping's every 3 seconds
28 and killing the conenction after 15 seconds.
29 - bugfixes.

312.01 Thu Mar 29 19:26:04 CEST 2007
32 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
33 - bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to
34 be corrupted on architectures like sparc before.
35 - dns transport retries more aggressively.
36 - updated documentation, improved dns transport reliability
37 and throughput.
38 - added experimental support for sha256 and sha512 digests.

402.0 Mon Dec 5 13:59:26 CET 2005
41 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
42 - implement allow-direct, deny-direct node config statements.
43 - implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where
44 gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host
45 even though it had received packets from it's new address.
46 This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after
47 your ip address changed, which is *required*.
48 - sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections. This fixes a bug
49 where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused
50 connections to fail when only one side can connect.
51 - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe
52 accept out-of-window packets in most cases.
53 - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow
54 conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering.
55 - replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by
56 more useful log messages.
57 - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages.

591.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005
60 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
61 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
62 scripts and exits on failure.
63 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
64 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
65 automatically in most configurations.
66 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
67 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
68 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
69 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
70 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
71 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
72 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
73 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
74 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
75 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
76 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
77 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
78 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
79 etc. scripts.
80 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
81 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.

831.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
84 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
2 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols 85 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
3 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled. 86 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
4 - dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future). 87 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
5 - remove support for pre-release version protocol. 88 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
89 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
90 tincd drivers a bit better.
91 - document icmp configuration values.
92 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
93 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
94 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
95 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
96 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
97 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
98 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.
