- # 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.
