[Announcement] Tinc version 1.1pre10 released

[Raul Dias]

Does this means that when upgrading from 1.1pre9 vpn, all nodes have
to be updated at once or will it fallback to old protocol for 1.1pre9
nodes?

> With pleasure we announce the release of tinc version 1.1pre10. Here is a
> summary of the changes:
>
>  * Added a benchmark tool (sptps_speed) for the new protocol.
>
>  * Fixed a crash when using Name = $HOST while $HOST is not set.
>
>  * Use AES-256-GCM for the new protocol.
>
>  * Updated support for Solaris.
>
>  * Allow running tincd without a private ECDSA key present when
>    ExperimentalProtocol is not explicitly set.
>
>  * Enable various compiler hardening flags by default.
>
>  * Added support for a "conf.d" configuration directory.
>
>  * Fix tinc-gui on Windows, also allowing it to connect to a 32-bits tincd when
>    tinc-gui is run in a 64-bits Python environment.
>
>  * Added a "ListenAddress" option, which like BindToAddress adds more listening
>    address/ports, but doesn't bind to them for outgoing sockets.
>
>  * Make invitations work better when the "invite" and "join" commands are not
>    run interactively.
>
>  * When creating meta-connections to a node for which no Address statement is
>    specified, try to use addresses learned from other nodes.
>
> Thanks to Dennis Joachimsthaler and Florent Clairambault for their contribution
> to this version of tinc.
>
> Please note that although tinc 1.1pre10 is backwards compatible with tinc 1.0.x,
> it is NOT compatible with tinc 1.1pre1 through 1.1pre9.
