Recent releases
- 10 Nov 2003 12:43
Changes: This release fixes a bug that caused amvpn to become CPU bound when there's a congestion/break in the outbound link. Basic flow control has been added. A keepalive message option has been added to help detect connection breaks as quickly as possible so that a fast reconnect can take place.
- 17 Aug 2003 11:32
Changes: A problem that prevented amvpn from binding to low ports and a potential problem associated with uninitialized heap objects have been fixed. The initialization logic has been modified so that any startup problems will be logged before going into daemon mode. There is enhanced error/message logging and some code cleanup.
