2 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
3 scripts and exits on failure.
4 - run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
5 - interface initialization (mac, mtu) is now done automatically
6 in most configurations.
7 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
8 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
9 - new low-level device native/darwin, that supports the tap
10 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
11 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
12 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
13 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
14 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
15 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
16 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.

18 1.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
19 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
20 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
21 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
22 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
23 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
24 tincd drivers a bit better.
25 - document icmp configuration values.
26 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
27 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
28 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
29 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
30 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
31 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
32 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.
33
34 1.7 Tue Feb 22 23:58:59 CET 2005
35 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
36 - first gnu release.
37 - documented the special value 1 for router-priority.
38 - renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as
39 vped.conf => gvpe.conf.
40 - new per-node option "max-retry".
41 - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously.
42 - new configure option --enable-static-daemon.
43 - fix configure --help output.
44 - many documentation layout fixes.
45 - synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode.
46 - try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes.
47 - revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx.
48 - considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc.

50 1.6.1 Wed May 12 14:48:20 CEST 2004
51 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
52 - fix -c switch that has been broken due to a last-minute fix
53 to option and config file parsing.
54
55 1.6 Mon May 10 20:55:10 CEST 2004
56 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
57 - do not RESET on out-of-sequence packets (good for wireless).
58 - various non-security-related bugfixes.
59 - c++ify (at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should make
60 it a little bit more standard c++).
61
62 1.5 Fri Jan 30 00:50:04 CET 2004
63 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
64 - vped will refuse to start when hostkey and public key do not match.
65 - updated lzf code to version 1.2.
66 - better error reporting for "unusual" conditions, like failing
67 to allocate memory, that should not normally happen and
68 will otherwise result in spurious other error messages. Also
69 adds paranoid checks in case openssl's API changes in a bad way.
70 - fix a bug where queued vpn packets were cleared to zero. while
71 this doesn't affect security, it did cause warning messages and
72 unnecessary connectivity delays.
73
74 1.4 Sat Jan 17 15:49:21 CET 2004
75 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
76 - better retry behaviour on key mismatch.
77 - use select-based io_manager instead of poll-based one.
78 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe.
79 - sooo many *BSD workarounds because no BSD I could find is even
80 remotely POSIX-compatible.
81
82 1.2 Fri Oct 17 03:44:44 CEST 2003
83 - protocol version 0.1.
84 - tincd kernel interface code imported, more supported platforms
85 (native/linux (2.4), tincd/linux (2.2 and 2.4), tincd/freebsd,
86 native/cygwin).
87 - added primitive ethernet emulation (ipv4 only), which allows
88 the following platforms that only have tun drivers to work:
89 /* none yet tested */
90 - portability workarounds, especially for unfriendly freebsd
91 - very minor bugfixes
92 - warnings when choosing insecure ciphers/hashes
93 - reduced default hmac length to 8.
94 - cvs now contains configure, Makefile.in and other generated files.
95 - added doc/complex-example to the distribution.
96
97 1.0 distant past
98 - protocol version 0.1.
99 - tweaked various timeouts to help very slow (486) class
100 machines or nets with many hosts.
101 - tweaked rate-limiting to be more forgiving for hosts
102 connecting through routers (not a fix).
