version 1.0pre7              Apr  7 2002
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Don't do blocking read()s when getting a signal.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Remove RSA key checking code, since it sometimes thinks perfectly good RSA
 | 
						|
  keys are bad.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Fix handling of subnets when prefixlength isn't divisible by 8.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
version 1.0pre6              Mar 27 2002
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Improvement of redundant links:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  * Non-blocking connects.
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
  * Protocol broadcast messages can no longer go into an infinite loop.
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
  * Graph algorithm updated to look harder for direct connections.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Good support for routing IPv6 packets over the VPN. 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.                      
 | 
						|
                                                                                
 | 
						|
                                                                                
 | 
						|

 |

 | 
						|
* Failover ConnectTo lines, try another one if the first doesn't work.
