tinc

The DeviceType option can now be used to select dummy, raw socket, UML, and VDE devices without needing to recompile tinc. Multiple BindToAddress statements are now allowed. The TTL value of IPv4 and IPv6 packets is decremented. The LocalDiscovery option has been added, allowing tinc to detect peers which are behind the same NAT. Subnets passed with the -o option when StrictSubnets = yes are now accepted. Disabling old RSA keys when generating new ones now also works properly on Windows.

This release fixes a performance issue with TCP communication under Windows, and fixes code that, during network outages, could cause tinc to exit when it thought two nodes with identical names were on the same VPN.

This release improves logging to files, reduces the amount of process wakeups on platforms that support pselect(), and fixes the ProcessPriority option on Windows, which was broken in 1.0.14.

This release fixes reading configuration files that do not end with a newline, allows arbitrary configuration options to be specified on the command line, allows all options in both tinc.conf and the local host config file, and has configurable replay window, UDP send and receive buffers for performance tuning. It tries harder to get UDP communication back after falling back to TCP. There is now support for running tinc on DragonFly BSD and for attaching tinc to a VDE switch.

tinc may now be built without LZO or Zlib. MSS of TCP packets can be clamped in both directions. Experimental StrictSubnets, Forwarding, and DirectOnly options were added, giving you more control over information and packets received from or sent to other nodes. tinc never sends symbolic names for ports over the wire anymore.
