* Added a "network" command to list or switch networks.

interface link status accordingly.

SIGALRM.

* Fix tinc-gui on Windows, also allowing it to connect to a 32-bits tincd when
tinc-gui is run in a 64-bits Python environment.
* Added a "ListenAddress" option, which like BindToAddress adds more listening
address/ports, but doesn't bind to them for outgoing sockets.
* Make invitations work better when the "invite" and "join" commands are not
run interactively.
* When creating meta-connections to a node for which no Address statement is
specified, try to use addresses learned from other nodes.
Thanks to Dennis Joachimsthaler and Florent Clairambault for their contribution
to this version of tinc.
# Version 1.1pre9 September 8 2013
* The UNIX socket is now created before tinc-up is called.
* Windows users can now use any extension that is in %PATHEXT% for scripts,
not only .bat.

when there is no ambiguity.
* Added invitation-created and invitation-accepted scripts.
* Invited nodes now learn of the Mode and Broadcast settings of the VPN.
* Joining a VPN with an invitation now also works on Windows.
* The port number tincd is listening on is now always included in the
invitation URL.

* Uses AES-256-CTR and HMAC-SHA256.
* Always provides perfect forward secrecy.
* Used for both meta-connections and VPN packets.
* VPN packets are encrypted end-to-end.

# 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.

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.

# 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.

# 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.
# 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 each other with
add and delete requests when the connection is restored.
