|
|
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. |
|
|

|
31 | 2.01 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. |
|

40 | 2.0 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. |
|
|

|
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. |
| 2 | - make some dns transport values configurable and document them. |

72 | - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the |

|
|
78 | - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up |
|
|
79 | etc. scripts. |
