3 * Lots of small bugfixes and code cleanups.
5 * Throughput doubled and latency reduced.
7 * Added support for LZO compression.
9 * No need to set MAC address or disable ARP anymore.
11 * Added support for Windows 2000 and XP, both natively and in a Cygwin
14 version 1.0pre8 Sep 16 2002
16 * More fixes for subnets with prefixlength undivisible by 8.
18 * Added support for NetBSD and MacOS/X.
20 * Switched from undirected graphs to directed graphs to avoid certain race
21 conditions and improve scalability.
23 * Generalized broadcasting and forwarding of protocol messages.
25 * Cleanup of source code.
28 version 1.0pre7 Apr 7 2002
30 * Don't do blocking read()s when getting a signal.
32 * Remove RSA key checking code, since it sometimes thinks perfectly good RSA
35 * Fix handling of subnets when prefixlength isn't divisible by 8.
38 version 1.0pre6 Mar 27 2002
40 * Improvement of redundant links:
42 * Non-blocking connects.
44 * Protocol broadcast messages can no longer go into an infinite loop.
46 * Graph algorithm updated to look harder for direct connections.
48 * Good support for routing IPv6 packets over the VPN. Works on Linux,
49 FreeBSD, possibly OpenBSD but not on Solaris.
51 * Support for tunnels over IPv6 networks. Works on all supported
54 * Optional compression of UDP connections using zlib.
56 * Optionally let UDP connections inherit TOS field of tunneled packets.
58 * Optionally start scripts when certain hosts become (un)reachable.
61 version 1.0pre5 Feb 9 2002
63 * Security enhancements:
65 * Added sequence number and optional message authentication code to
68 * Configurable encryption cipher and digest algorithms.
70 * More robust handling of dis- and reconnects.
72 * Added a "switch" and a "hub" mode to allow bridging setups.
74 * Preliminary support for routing of IPv6 packets.
76 * Supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris.
79 It looks like this might be the last release before 1.0.
82 version 1.0pre4 Jan 17 2001
84 * Updated documentation; the documentation now reflects the
85 configuration as it is.
87 * Some internal changes to make tinc scale better for large
88 networks, such as using AVL trees instead of linked lists for the
91 * RSA keys can be stored in separate files if needed. See the
92 documentation for more information.
94 * tinc has now been reported to run on Linux PowerPC and FreeBSD x86.
98 version 1.0pre3 Oct 31 2000
100 * The protocol has been redesigned, and although some details are
101 still under discussion, this is secure. Care has been taken to
102 resist most, if not all, attacks.
104 * Unfortunately this protocol is not compatible with earlier versions,
105 nor are earlier versions compatible with this version. Because the
106 older protocol has huge security flaws, we feel that not
107 implementing backwards compatibility is justified.
109 * Some data about the protocol:
111 * It uses public/private RSA keys for authentication (this is the
112 actual fix for the security hole).
114 * All cryptographic functions have been taken out of tinc, instead
115 it uses the OpenSSL library functions.
117 * Offers support for multiple subnets per tinc daemon.
119 * New is also the support for the universal tun/tap device. This
120 means better portability to FreeBSD and Solaris.
122 * tinc is tested to compile on Solaris, Linux x86, Linux alpha.
124 * tinc now uses the OpenSSL library for cryptographic operations.
125 More information on getting and installing OpenSSL is in the manual.
126 This also means that the GMP library is no longer required.
128 * Further, thanks to Enrique Zanardi, we have Spanish messages; Matias
129 Carrasco provided us with a Spanish translation of the manual.
132 What still needs to be done before 1.0:
134 * Documentation. Especially since the protocol has changed, and a lot
135 of configuration directives have been added.
140 version 1.0pre2 May 31 2000
142 * This version has been internationalized; and a Dutch translation has
145 * Two configuration variables have been added:
146 * VpnMask - the IP network mask for the entire VPN, not just our
147 subnet (as given by MyVirtualIP). The Redhat and Debian packages
148 use this variable in their system startup scripts, but it is
150 * Hostnames - if set to `yes', look up the names of IP addresses
151 trying to connect to us. Default set to `no', to prevent lockups
154 * The system startup scripts for Debian and Redhat use
155 /etc/tinc/nets.boot to find out which networks need to be started
158 * Fixes to prevent denial of service attacks by sending random data
159 after connecting (and even when the connection has been established),
160 either random garbage or just nonsensical protocol fields.
162 * tinc will retry to connect upon startup, does not quit if it doesn't
165 * Hosts that are disconnected implicitly if we lose a connection get
166 deleted from the internal list, to prevent hogging eachother with
167 add and delete requests when the connection is restored.
170 What still needs to be done before 1.0:
173 * Failover ConnectTo lines, try another one if the first doesn't work.
