 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fixed IPv6 in switch mode by turning off DecrementTTL by default.

 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fixed a performance issue with TCP communication under Windows.

 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 1.0.13               Apr 11 2010
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Allow building tinc without LZO and/or Zlib.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Clamp MSS of TCP packets in both directions.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Experimental StrictSubnets, Forwarding and DirectOnly options,
 | |
|    giving more control over information and packets received from/sent to other
 | |
|    nodes.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Ensure tinc never sends symbolic names for ports over the wire.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 1.0.12               Feb  3 2010
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Really allow fast roaming of hosts to other nodes in a switched VPN.

 | |
|    and subnet-up/down scripts in some cases.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Allow port to be specified in Address statements.

| 
 | |
|  * Clamp MSS of TCP packets to the discovered path MTU.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Let two nodes behind NAT learn each others current UDP address and port via
 | |
|    a third node, potentially allowing direct communications in a similar way to
 | |
|    STUN.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 1.0.11               Nov  1 2009
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fixed potential crash when the HUP signal is sent.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fixes handling of weighted Subnets in switch and hub modes, preventing
 | |
|    unnecessary broadcasts.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Works around a MinGW bug that caused packets to Windows nodes to always be
 | |
|    sent via TCP.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Improvements to the PMTU discovery code, especially on Windows.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Use UDP again in certain cases where 1.0.10 was too conservative and fell
 | |
|    back to TCP unnecessarily.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Allow fast roaming of hosts to other nodes in a switched VPN.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Version 1.0.10               Oct 18 2009
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Fixed potential crashes during shutdown and (in rare conditions) when other
 | |
|    nodes disconnected from the VPN.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Improved NAT handling: tinc now copes with mangled port numbers, and will
 | |
|    automatically fall back to TCP if direct UDP connection between nodes is not
 | |
|    possible. The TCPOnly option should not have to be used anymore.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Allow configuration files with CRLF line endings to be read on UNIX.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Disable old RSA keys when generating new ones, and raise the default size of
 | |
|    new RSA keys to 2048 bits.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Many fixes in the path MTU discovery code, especially when Compression is
 | |
|    being used.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Tinc can now drop privileges and/or chroot itself.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * The TunnelServer code now just ignores information from clients instead of
 | |
|    disconnecting them.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Improved performance on Windows by using the new ProcessPriority option and
 | |
|    by making the handling of packets received from the TAP-Win32 adapter more
 | |
|    efficient.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Code cleanups: tinc now follows the C99 standard, copyright headers have
 | |
|    been updated to include patch authors, checkpoint tracing and localisation
 | |
|    features have been removed.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Support for (jailbroken) iPhone and iPod Touch has been added.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  Thanks to Florian Forster, Grzegorz Dymarek and especially Michael Tokarev for
 | |
|  their contributions to this version of tinc.

 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Lots of small fixes.
 | |

 | |
|    fix switch mode (again).
 | |
|  
 | |
|  * Generic host-up and host-down scripts.
 | |
| 
 | |
|  * Optionally dump graph in graphviz format to a file or a script.

 | |
| * Cleanup of source code.
 | |
| 
 | |
|

 | |
| 
 | |
| * Don't do blocking read()s when getting a signal.
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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:                                         
 | |
