This should + fix switch mode (again). + + * Generic host-up and host-down scripts. + + * Optionally dump graph in graphviz format to a file or a script. + + * Support LZO 2.0 and later. + +version 1.0.4 May 4 2005 + + * Fix switch and hub modes. + + * Optionally start scripts when a Subnet becomes (un)reachable. + +version 1.0.3 Nov 11 2004 + +* Show error message when failing to write a PID file. + +* Ignore spaces at end of lines in config files. + +* Fix handling of late packets. + +* Unify BSD tun/tap device handling. This allows IPv6 on tun devices and + anything on tap devices as long as the underlying OS supports it. + +* Handle IPv6 on Solaris tun devices. + +* Allow tinc to work properly under Windows XP SP2. + +* Allow VLAN tagged Ethernet frames in switch and hub mode. + +* Experimental PMTUDiscovery, TunnelServer and BlockingTCP options. + +version 1.0.2 Nov 8 2003 + +* Fix address and hostname resolving under Windows. + +* Remove warnings about non-existing scripts and unsupported address families. + +* Use the event logger under Windows. + +* Fix quoting of filenames and command line arguments under Windows. + +* Strict checks for length incoming network packets and return values of + cryptographic functions, + +* Fix a bug in metadata handling that made the tinc daemon abort. + +version 1.0.1 Aug 14 2003 + +* Allow empty lines in config files. + +* Fix handling of spaces and backslashes in filenames under native Windows. + +* Allow scripts to be executed under native Windows. + +* Update documentation, make it less Linux specific. + +version 1.0 Aug 4 2003 + +* Lots of small bugfixes and code cleanups. + +* Throughput doubled and latency reduced. + +* Added support for LZO compression. + +* No need to set MAC address or disable ARP anymore. + +* Added support for Windows 2000 and XP, both natively and in a Cygwin + environment. + +version 1.0pre8 Sep 16 2002 + +* More fixes for subnets with prefixlength undivisible by 8. + +* Added support for NetBSD and MacOS/X. + +* Switched from undirected graphs to directed graphs to avoid certain race + conditions and improve scalability. + +* Generalized broadcasting and forwarding of protocol messages. + +* Cleanup of source code. + + +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
