Version 1.9 of GNU Virtual Private Ethernet
Some OS-specific tunnel drivers have been improved, and
two drivers, native/darwin and tincd/bsd, have been added.
The OS documentation has been improved considerably. A
bug that caused the TCP transport to not work has been
fixed and config parsing is now more robust by skipping
unparseable lines. Options can now also be specified on the
command line. if-up and node-up/down scripts are now run
by the shell and have information relating to other nodes
available. Last but not least, some DNS transport tunable
values can now be configured in the config file.
Other releases
- 15 Feb 2009 07:25
Changes: This release mainly updates the embedded event library and fixes some timer-related issues. Also, ICMP/TCP and HTTP-proxy protocol support is now enabled by default, as those methods are now deemed to be as stable as the existing UDP and raw IP protocols. Also, the DNS tunneling protocol has been tweaked further.

Changes: The licensing was changed to GPLv3 with special permission to distribute binaries linked against openssl. A large number of minor bugs have been fixed. GVPE now uses libev as its event multiplexer and takes advantage of epoll, kqueue, and other high performance kernel interfaces. The on-demand mode has been improved to stop retrying after a while, so much larger networks with mostly dormant links are now possible. Connection routing has been improved and documented, which allows more network configurations, including core network/satellite-style topologies.

Changes: The I/O multiplexer was updated to fix some long-standing bugs surfacing on some architectures. The DNS tunneling protocol has been stabilised, and experimental support for SHA256 and SHA512 has been added.
- 08 Dec 2005 02:45
Changes: This release adds a number of minor bugfixes and a few improvements to error reporting and the documentation. Two new directives (allow-direct and deny-direct) can be used to fine-tune connections between nodes in case a node has access to only a subset of other nodes.
