Works on Linux, + FreeBSD, possibly OpenBSD but not on Solaris. + +* Support for tunnels over IPv6 networks. Works on all supported + operating systems. + +* Optional compression of UDP connections using zlib. + +* Optionally let UDP connections inherit TOS field of tunneled packets. + +* Optionally start scripts when certain hosts become (un)reachable. + + +version 1.0pre5 Feb 9 2002 + +* Security enhancements: + + * Added sequence number and optional message authentication code to + the packets. + + * Configurable encryption cipher and digest algorithms. + +* More robust handling of dis- and reconnects. + +* Added a "switch" and a "hub" mode to allow bridging setups. + +* Preliminary support for routing of IPv6 packets. + +* Supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris. + + +It looks like this might be the last release before 1.0. + + +version 1.0pre4 Jan 17 2001 + +* Updated documentation; the documentation now reflects the + configuration as it is. + +* Some internal changes to make tinc scale better for large + networks, such as using AVL trees instead of linked lists for the + connection list. + +* RSA keys can be stored in separate files if needed. See the + documentation for more information. + +* tinc has now been reported to run on Linux PowerPC and FreeBSD x86. + + + +version 1.0pre3 Oct 31 2000 + +* The protocol has been redesigned, and although some details are + still under discussion, this is secure. Care has been taken to + resist most, if not all, attacks. + +* Unfortunately this protocol is not compatible with earlier versions, + nor are earlier versions compatible with this version. Because the + older protocol has huge security flaws, we feel that not + implementing backwards compatibility is justified. + +* Some data about the protocol: + + * It uses public/private RSA keys for authentication (this is the + actual fix for the security hole). + + * All cryptographic functions have been taken out of tinc, instead + it uses the OpenSSL library functions. + + * Offers support for multiple subnets per tinc daemon. + +* New is also the support for the universal tun/tap device. This + means better portability to FreeBSD and Solaris. + +* tinc is tested to compile on Solaris, Linux x86, Linux alpha. + +* tinc now uses the OpenSSL library for cryptographic operations. + More information on getting and installing OpenSSL is in the manual. + This also means that the GMP library is no longer required. + +* Further, thanks to Enrique Zanardi, we have Spanish messages; Matias + Carrasco provided us with a Spanish translation of the manual. + + +What still needs to be done before 1.0: + +* Documentation. Especially since the protocol has changed, and a lot + of configuration directives have been added. + + + + +version 1.0pre2 May 31 2000 + +* This version has been internationalized; and a Dutch translation has + been included. + +* Two configuration variables have been added: + * VpnMask - the IP network mask for the entire VPN, not just our + subnet (as given by MyVirtualIP). The Redhat and Debian packages + use this variable in their system startup scripts, but it is + ignored by tinc. + * Hostnames - if set to `yes', look up the names of IP addresses + trying to connect to us. Default set to `no', to prevent lockups + during lookups. + +* The system startup scripts for Debian and Redhat use + /etc/tinc/nets.boot to find out which networks need to be started + during system boot. + +* Fixes to prevent denial of service attacks by sending random data + after connecting (and even when the connection has been established), + either random garbage or just nonsensical protocol fields. + +* tinc will retry to connect upon startup, does not quit if it doesn't + work the first time. + +* Hosts that are disconnected implicitly if we lose a connection get + deleted from the internal list, to prevent hogging eachother with + add and delete requests when the connection is restored. + + +What still needs to be done before 1.0: + +* Documentation. +* Failover ConnectTo lines, try another one if the first doesn't work. + + + + +version 1.0pre1 May 12 2000 + * New meta-protocol + * Various other bugfixes + * Documentation updates + +version 0.3.3 Feb 9 2000 + * Fixed bug that made tinc stop working with latest kernels (Guus + Sliepen) + * Updated the manual + +version 0.3.2 Nov 12 1999 + * no more `Invalid filedescriptor' when working with multiple + connections + * forward unknown packets to uplink + +version 0.3.1 Oct 20 1999 + * fixed a bug where tinc would exit without a trace + +version 0.3 Aug 20 1999 + * pings now work immediately + * all packet sizes get transmitted correctly + +version 0.2.26 Aug 15 1999 + * fixed some remaining bugs + * --sysconfdir works with configure + * last version before 0.3 + +version 0.2.25 Aug 8 1999 + * improved stability, going towards 0.3 now. + +version 0.2.24 Aug 7 1999 + * added key aging, there's a new config variable, KeyExpire. + * updated man and info pages + +version 0.2.23 Aug 5 1999 + * all known bugs fixed, this is a candidate for 0.3 + +version 0.2.22 Apr 11 1999 + * multiconnection thing is now working nearly perfect :) + +version 0.2.21 Apr 10 1999 + * You shouldn't notice a thing, but a lot has changed wrt key +management - except that it refuses to talk to versions < 0.2.20 + +version 0.2.20 + +version 0.2.19 Apr 3 1999 + * don't install a libcipher.so + +version 0.2.18 Apr 3 1999 + * blowfish library dynamically loaded upon execution + * included Eric Young's IDEA library + +version 0.2.17 Apr 1 1999 + * tincd now re-executes itself in case of a segmentation fault. + +version 0.2.16 Apr 1 1999 + * wrote tincd.conf(5) man page, which still needs a lot of work. + * config file now accepts and tolerates spaces, and any integer base +for integer variables, and better error reporting.
