Previously, tinc used a fixed address and port for each node for UDP packet
exchange. The port was the one advertised by that node as its listening port.
However, due to NAT the port might be different. Now, tinc sends a different
session key to each node. This way, the sending node can be determined from
incoming packets by checking the MAC against all session keys. If a match is
found, the address and port for that node are updated.
Previously an outgoing_t was maintained for each outgoing connection,
but the pointer to it was either stored in a connection_t or in an event_t.
This made it very hard to keep track of and to clean up.
Now a list is created when tinc starts and reads all the ConnectTo variables,
and which is recreated when tinc receives a HUP signal.
When no session key is known for a node, or when it is doing PMTU discovery but
no MTU probes have returned yet, packets are sent via TCP. Some logic is added
to make sure intermediate nodes continue forwarding via TCP. The per-node
packet queue is now no longer necessary and has been removed.
- Convert cp to cp(); so that automatic indenters work.
- Convert constructions like if(x == NULL) to if(!x).
- Move all assignments out of conditions.
- Socket handling revamped to use sockaddr_t.
- tinc can now tunnel over IPv6.
- Handle all addresses and subnets in network byte order.
Only convert them when they need to be printed.
- IPv6 subnets bigger than /128 now work.
- Use %s and strerror(errno) instead of %m.
- More control over tap device, ability to set interface name to something
other than the netname.
- Export NETNAME, DEVICE and INTERFACE environment variables to scripts.
- Transition to new node/vertex/connection structures
- Use new configuration handling everywhere
- Linux tun/tap device handling cleanup
- Start of IPv6 support in route.c
It compiles, but it won't link.
