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.
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.
When set to a non-zero value, tinc will try to maintain exactly that number of
meta connections to other nodes. If there are not enough connections, it will
periodically try to set up an outgoing connection to a random node. If there
are too many connections, it will periodically try to remove an outgoing
connection.
Only the very first packet of an SPTPS session should be send with REQ_KEY,
this signals the peer to abort any previous session and start a new one as
well.
Most of the code doesn't care whether requests are terminated with a newline or
not, except that when requests are forwarded, it is assumed they do not have
one and a newline is added. When a node using SPTPS receives a request from
another SPTPS-using node, and forwards it to a non-SPTPS-using node, this will
result in two consecutive newlines, which the latter node will see as an empty,
and thus invalid, request.
The tree functions were never used on the connection_tree, a list is more appropriate.
Also be more paranoid about connections disappearing while traversing the list.
Struct outgoing_ts and connection_ts were depending too much on each other,
causing lots of problems, especially the reuse of a connection_t. Now, whenever
a connection is closed it is immediately removed from the list of connections
and destroyed.
Similar to old style key exchange requests, keep track of whether a key
exchange is already in progress and how long it took. If no key is known yet
or if key exchange takes too long, (re)start a new key exchange.
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.
When starting tincd, tincctl now strips non-options from the command line, and
sets argv[0] to the name of the tincd command instead of copying its own
command name.
When stopping a running tincd, tincctl now waits for it to terminate.
