1GVPE NEWS
1 2
3 - due to a bug, when packets were lost, a connection could go into a
4 state where a ping/connection request from another node would be
5 ignored, leading to connections not being re-established.
6 - due to a bug, compression was almost always enabled.
7 - enable-max-mtu was actually enable-mtu, contrary to documentation.
8 - add nfmark support.
9 - add node-change script support.
10 - new DESTSI variable for node-xxx scripts.
11 - updated codingstyle a bit, declared truly static stuff as static.
12 - clarify compression docs.
13
142.22 Sun Feb 1 17:25:28 CET 2009
15 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases,
16 - enabled icmp/tcp/http-proxy protocols by default.
17 - updated copyright in program greetings.
18 - fix some configure messages.
19 - updated to libev 3.52.
20
212.21 Wed Sep 3 06:56:27 CEST 2008
22 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases,
23 - add missing ev++.h include header to tarball, which everybody
24 who tested it apparently had in their include path :(. Caught
25 by Karl Kleinpaste and Marcus Kong.
26
272.2 Mon Sep 1 06:28:09 CEST 2008
28 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases,
29 but upgrade is recommended to due changed ondemand behaviour.
30 - new per-node options max-ttl and max-queue.
31 - convert from iom.C to libev, a high-performance event loop
32 (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev).
33 - tcp connections were leaking in some cases.
34 - retry more aggressively (once/s) to establish a connection if
35 new packets arrive for it.
36 - save a lot of setsockopt calls when the tos doesn't change.
37 - honor disabled even on initial connect attempt.
38 - changed callback mechanism to be slightly less portable
39 but more efficient mechanism (standards-compliant c++ compilers
40 should work).
41 - increased receive window positive size, to allow for massive
42 packet loss due to occasional longer drop-outs.
43 - send RST when a positive window size violation is detected, but
44 not in other cases, to reconnect more quickly.
45 - upgraded liblzf to version 3.4.
46 - dropped -fno-exceptions due to ev++.h using it.
47 - node-up/down scripts are now run in sequence.
48 - new -q switch for gvpectrl, for when you run it often.
49 - work around the horribly inconsistent, ad-hoc, ever-changing
50 and broken texinfo syntax. YMMV. avoid texinfo.
51 - keepalive is more aggressive now, sensding ping's every 3 seconds
52 and killing the conenction after 15 seconds.
53 - bugfixes.
54
552.01 Thu Mar 29 19:26:04 CEST 2007
56 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
57 - bugfix of callback.h, might have cause callback return values to
58 be corrupted on architectures like sparc before.
59 - dns transport retries more aggressively.
60 - updated documentation, improved dns transport reliability
61 and throughput.
62 - added experimental support for sha256 and sha512 digests.
63
642.0 Mon Dec 5 13:59:26 CET 2005
65 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
66 - implement allow-direct, deny-direct node config statements.
67 - implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where
68 gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host
69 even though it had received packets from it's new address.
70 This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after
71 your ip address changed, which is *required*.
72 - sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections. This fixes a bug
73 where child processes kept tcp connections open and caused
74 connections to fail when only one side can connect.
75 - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe
76 accept out-of-window packets in most cases.
77 - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow
78 conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering.
79 - replace some asserts that trapped config mismatches by
80 more useful log messages.
81 - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages.
82
831.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005
84 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
85 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
86 scripts and exits on failure.
87 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
88 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
89 automatically in most configurations.
90 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
91 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
92 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
93 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
94 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
95 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
96 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
97 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
98 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
99 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
100 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
101 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
102 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
103 etc. scripts.
104 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
105 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.
106
1071.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
108 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
2 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols 109 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
3 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled. 110 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
4 - dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future). 111 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
112 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
113 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
114 tincd drivers a bit better.
115 - document icmp configuration values.
116 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
117 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
118 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
119 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
120 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
121 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
122 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.
