4 2.0
5 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
6 - implemented != for sockinfo. This fixes a bug where
7 gvpe sent packets to the old ip address of another host
8 even though it had received packets from it's new address.
9 This only causes problems if you forget to -HUP your gvpe after
10 your ip address changed, which is *required*.
11 - tighter limit for the maximum sequence # to avoid overflow
12 conditions + allow more headroom for packet reordering.
13 - fixed a bug in receive sequence checking that made gvpe
14 accept out-of-window packets in most cases.
15 - replace some asserts that trapped config msimatches by
16 more useful log messages.
17 - sets close-on-exec flag on tcp connections.
18 - fix spurious extra newline in some log messages.

20 1.9 Tue Apr 19 06:21:50 CEST 2005
21 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
22 - WARNING: this version checks the return value of if-up etc.
23 scripts and exits on failure.
24 - IMPORTANT: run if-up/node-up etc. scripts via /bin/sh.
25 - IMPORTANT: interface initialization (MAC, MTU) is now done
26 automatically in most configurations.
27 - options can now be specified on the gvpe command line, too.
28 - make some DNS transport values configurable and document them.
29 - improved OS specific information in gvpe.osdep(5).
30 - new tap device type "native/darwin", that supports the tap
31 driver available for darwin (thanks to matthew mead who tested
32 it out with me in a long session). tincd/darwin is still available.
33 - new device type "tincd/bsd", which is a newer version of the
34 *bsd-drivers taken from tinc.
35 - fixed a bug in relying on the order of global construction
36 when tcp transport was enabled. The fix makes it use no
37 cpu time unless it is in use, too.
38 - information about other nodes is now available to if-up etc. scripts.
39 - the value of the config variable if-up-data is passed to the if-up
40 etc. scripts.
41 - skip unparsable config lines with a warning instead of stopping
42 parsing and continuing with a certainly unusable config.
43
44 1.8 Fri Mar 18 00:58:55 CET 2005
45 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
46 - enable-udp = yes is now default only when no other protocols
47 are enabled. otherwise it is disabled unless explicitly enabled.
48 - implemented dns tunneling (experimental now and in the future).
49 - remove support for pre-release version protocol.
50 - updated tincd drivers (rev 1433), added uml_socket driver, documented
51 tincd drivers a bit better.
52 - document icmp configuration values.
53 - document transport protocols in gvpe.protocol(7).
54 - remove unused ChangeLog file.
55 - created a mailinglist at gvpe@lists.schmorp.de.
56 - added an exemption to allow distribution of binaries linked against
57 OpenSSL, as suggested by Guus Sliepen (author of tinc). No
58 GNUTLS conversion in sight.
59 - some portability fixes with respect to --disable-nls.

61 1.7 Tue Feb 22 23:58:59 CET 2005
62 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
63 - first gnu release.
64 - documented the special value 1 for router-priority.
65 - renamed vped => gvpe and vpectrl => gvpectrl, as well as
66 vped.conf => gvpe.conf.
67 - new per-node option "max-retry".
68 - asymmetric rekeying behaviour, so hosts don't rekey simultaneously.
69 - new configure option --enable-static-daemon.
70 - fix configure --help output.
71 - many documentation layout fixes.
72 - synced iom.[Ch] from rxvt-unicode.
73 - try to cope with some non-monotonic time changes.
74 - revert to locale.h - a usual, clocale is nonfunctioning on macosx.
75 - considerably improved pod2texi and the resulting texi doc.
76
77 1.6.1 Wed May 12 14:48:20 CEST 2004
78 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
79 - fix -c switch that has been broken due to a last-minute fix
80 to option and config file parsing.
81
82 1.6 Mon May 10 20:55:10 CEST 2004
83 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
84 - do not RESET on out-of-sequence packets (good for wireless).
85 - various non-security-related bugfixes.
86 - c++ify (at least make it compile with g++-3.4, which should make
87 it a little bit more standard c++).
88
89 1.5 Fri Jan 30 00:50:04 CET 2004
90 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
91 - vped will refuse to start when hostkey and public key do not match.
92 - updated lzf code to version 1.2.
93 - better error reporting for "unusual" conditions, like failing
94 to allocate memory, that should not normally happen and
95 will otherwise result in spurious other error messages. Also
96 adds paranoid checks in case openssl's API changes in a bad way.
97 - fix a bug where queued vpn packets were cleared to zero. while
98 this doesn't affect security, it did cause warning messages and
99 unnecessary connectivity delays.
100
101 1.4 Sat Jan 17 15:49:21 CET 2004
102 - protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
103 - better retry behaviour on key mismatch.
104 - use select-based io_manager instead of poll-based one.
105 - share io manager between rxvt-unicode and vpe.
106 - sooo many *BSD workarounds because no BSD I could find is even
107 remotely POSIX-compatible.
108
109 1.2 Fri Oct 17 03:44:44 CEST 2003
110 - protocol version 0.1.
111 - tincd kernel interface code imported, more supported platforms
112 (native/linux (2.4), tincd/linux (2.2 and 2.4), tincd/freebsd,
113 native/cygwin).
114 - added primitive ethernet emulation (ipv4 only), which allows
115 the following platforms that only have tun drivers to work:
116 /* none yet tested */
117 - portability workarounds, especially for unfriendly freebsd
118 - very minor bugfixes
119 - warnings when choosing insecure ciphers/hashes
120 - reduced default hmac length to 8.
121 - cvs now contains configure, Makefile.in and other generated files.
122 - added doc/complex-example to the distribution.
123
124 1.0 distant past
125 - protocol version 0.1.
126 - tweaked various timeouts to help very slow (486) class
127 machines or nets with many hosts.
128 - tweaked rate-limiting to be more forgiving for hosts
129 connecting through routers (not a fix).
