Version 1.0.18 March 25 2012
|
|
|
|
* Fixed IPv6 in switch mode by turning off DecrementTTL by default.
|
|
|
|
* Allow a port number to be specified in BindToAddress, which also allows tinc
|
|
to listen on multiple ports.
|
|
|
|
* Add support for multicast communication with UML/QEMU/KVM.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.17 March 10 2012
|
|
|
|
* The DeviceType option can now be used to select dummy, raw socket, UML and
|
|
VDE devices without needing to recompile tinc.
|
|
|
|
* Allow multiple BindToAddress statements.
|
|
|
|
* Decrement TTL value of IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
|
|
|
|
* Add LocalDiscovery option allowing tinc to detect peers that are behind the
|
|
same NAT.
|
|
|
|
* Accept Subnets passed with the -o option when StrictSubnets = yes.
|
|
|
|
* Disabling old RSA keys when generating new ones now also works properly on
|
|
Windows.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.16 July 23 2011
|
|
|
|
* Fixed a performance issue with TCP communication under Windows.
|
|
|
|

|
|
thought two nodes with identical Names were on the VPN.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.15 June 24 2011
|
|

Thanks to Brandon Black, Julien Muchembled, Michael Tokarev, Rumko and Timothy
|
|
Redaelli for their contributions to this version of tinc.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
their contributions to this version of tinc.

|
|
|
|

version 1.0.5 Nov 14 2006
|
|
|
|

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