What's new in tinc 1.1 Pre9
Jan 29, 2014
- 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.
- Outgoing sockets are bound to the address of the listening sockets again, 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.
- A running tincd is now correctly informed when a new invitation has been generated.
- Several bug fixes for the new protocol.
- Added a test suite.
New in tinc 1.0.23 (Jan 28, 2014)
- Start authentication immediately on outgoing connections (useful for sslh).
- Fixed segfault when Name = $HOST but $HOST is not set.
- Updated the build system and the documentation.
- Clean up child processes left over from Proxy = exec.
New in tinc 1.0.19 (Jun 26, 2012)
- This version adds basic support for SOCKS and HTTP proxies, as well as proxying through an external command. Support for systemd style socket activation has been added.
- Environment variables can now be used in the Name configuration option, and :: notation in IPv6 Subnet options is now also allowed.
New in tinc 1.0.16 (Jul 25, 2011)
- This version 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.
New in tinc 1.0.14 (May 9, 2011)
- Fixed reading configuration files that do not end with a newline. Again.
- Allow arbitrary configuration options being specified on the command line.
- Allow all options in both tinc.conf and the local host config file.
- Configurable replay window, UDP send and receive buffers for performance tuning.
- Try harder to get UDP communication back after falling back to TCP.
- Initial support for attaching tinc to a VDE switch.
- DragonFly BSD support.
- Allow linking with OpenSSL 1.0.0.
New in tinc 1.0.13 (Apr 13, 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.
New in tinc 1.0.12 (Feb 4, 2010)
- Really allow fast roaming of hosts to other nodes in a switched VPN.
- Fixes missing or incorrect environment variables when calling host-up/down 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.
New in tinc 1.0.10 (Oct 19, 2009)
- This release fixes potential crashes during shutdown and in rare conditions.
- It improves 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.
- Old RSA keys are disabled when generating new ones, and the default size of new RSA keys has been raised to 2048 bits.
- There are many fixes in the path MTU discovery code.
- Tinc can now drop privileges and/or chroot itself.
- The performance on Windows is improved.
New in tinc 1.0.9 (Dec 27, 2008)
- This release lets tinc work as a service under Windows 2003, properly handles configuration files that do not end with a newline, fixes crashes in some situations, fixes a memory leak, and has better default settings.
