Better optional argument handling.
Some options can take an optional argument. However, in this case GNU getopt
requires that the optional argument is right next to the option without
whitespace inbetween. If there is whitespace, getopt will treat it as a
non-option argument, but tinc ignored those without a warning. Now tinc will
allow optional arguments with whitespace inbetween, and will give an error when
it encounters any other non-option arguments.
Drop packets forwarded via TCP if they are too big (CVE-2013-1428).
Normally all requests sent via the meta connections are checked so that they
cannot be larger than the input buffer. However, when packets are forwarded via
meta connections, they are copied into a packet buffer without checking whether
it fits into it. Since the packet buffer is allocated on the stack, this in
effect allows an authenticated remote node to cause a stack overflow.

Detect increases in PMTU.
Tinc never restarts PMTU discovery unless a node becomes unreachable. However,
it can be that the PMTU was very low during the initial discovery, but has
increased later. To detect this, tinc now tries to send an extra packet every
PingInterval, with a size slightly higher than the currently known PMTU. If
this packet is succesfully received back, we partially restart PMTU discovery
to find out the new maximum.

Send broadcast packets using a random socket, and properly support IPv6.
Before it would always use the first socket, and always send an IPv4 broadcast packet. That
works fine in a lot of situations, but it is better to try all sockets, and to send IPv6 packets
on IPv6 sockets. This is especially important for users that are on IPv6-only networks or that
have multiple physical network interfaces, although in the latter case it probably requires
them to use the ListenAddress variable to create a separate socket for each interface.

Make sure PMTU discovery works in switch mode with VLAN tags.
Before, when tinc saw a packet larger than the PMTU with a VLAN tag, it would
not know what to do with it, and would just forward it via TCP. Now, tinc
handles 802.1q packets correctly, as long as there is only one tag.

Clear connection options and status fields in free_connection_partially().
Most fields should be zero when reusing a connection. In particular, when an
outgoing connection to a node which is reachable on more than one address is
made, the second connection to that node will have status.encryptout set but
outctx will be NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference when
EVP_EncryptUpdate() is called in send_meta() when it shouldn't.

Replace hard-code with new ScriptsInterpreter configuration property.
This new setting allows choosing a custom script interpreter used for the various tinc callbacks.
If none is specified, the script itself is called as executable (as before).

add (errnum) in front of windows error messages
On localized, non-English versions of windows, it is
common to have two active charsets -- for console applications
and for GUI applications, together with localized error messages
returned by windows. But two charsets are rarely compatible,
so sending the same byte sequence to console and to windows
event log makes one or another to be unreadable. So at least
include the error number, this way it will be possible to
lookup the actual error test using external ways.
Add support for proxying through an external command.
Proxy type "exec" can be used to have an external script or binary set
up an outgoing connection. Standard input and output will be used to
exchange data with the external command. The variables REMOTEADDRESS and
REMOTEPORT are set to the intended destination address and port.
Add basic support for SOCKS 4 and HTTP CONNECT proxies.
When the Proxy option is used, outgoing connections will be made via the
specified proxy. There is no support for authentication methods or for having
the proxy forward incoming connections, and there is no attempt to proxy UDP.
Allow broadcast packets to be sent directly instead of via the MST.
When the "Broadcast = direct" option is used, broadcast packets are not sent
and forwarded via the Minimum Spanning Tree to all nodes, but are sent directly
to all nodes that can be reached in one hop.
One use for this is to allow running ad-hoc routing protocols, such as OLSR, on
top of tinc.

When the Name starts with a $, the rest will be interpreted as the name of an

Add support for systemd style socket activation.

There is no dependency on systemd or on libsystemd-daemon.
The current configure.in file does not correctly make use of these

Add support for multicast communication with UML/QEMU/KVM.
DeviceType = multicast allows one to specify a multicast address and port with

Always try next Address when an outgoing connection fails to authenticate.
When making outgoing connections, tinc goes through the list of Addresses and
tries all of them until one succeeds. However, before it would consider
establishing a TCP connection a success, even when the authentication failed.
This would be a problem if the first Address would point to a hostname and port
combination that belongs to the wrong tinc node, or perhaps even to a non-tinc
service, causing tinc to endlessly try this Address instead of moving to the
next one.

Make sure disabling old RSA keys works on Windows.
Seeking in files and rewriting parts of them does not seem to work properly on
Windows. Instead, when old RSA keys are found when generating new ones, the
file containing the old keys is copied to a temporary file where the changes
are made, and that file is renamed back to the original filename. On Windows,
we cannot atomically replace files with a rename(), so we need to move the
original file out of the way first. If anything fails, the new code will warn
that the user has to solve the problem by hand.
