tinc - Aug 2013 - 10th anniversary of tinc 1.0

Hello everyone,

Today is exactly 10 years ago that tinc 1.0 was released. I would have hoped to
celebrate this by releasing 1.0.22 and 1.1pre8 today, but this will instead 
happen in one week.

Tinc 1.1 is close to becoming stable, and I hope to release 1.1.0 before the
end of the year. The main features of tinc 1.1 are the improved security over
tinc 1.0, and a much nicer interface that makes it very easy to set up new
VPNs, and allows you to easily get live information from a running VPN. Tinc
1.1 will also feature an invitation protocol which allows you to easily invite
others to join a VPN, by simply giving them an invitation URL that you can
create with a simple command. No central servers are involved, invitees will
directly connect to your own tinc node to redeem invitations. The invitation
protocol will be available in the 1.1pre8 release.

Tinc is the work of many people. For those of you who haven't read the
THANKS file in the source code distribution, here is a list of all the
contributors:

Alexander Reil and Gemeinde Berg, Allesandro Gatti, Andreas van Cranenburgh,
Anthony G. Basile, Armijn Hemel, Brandon Black, Cheng LI, Cris van Pelt, 
Darius Jahandarie, Delf Eldkraft, dnk, Enrique Zanardi, Erik Tews, 
Etienne Dechamps, Flynn Marquardt, Grzegorz Dymarek, Hans Bayle, 
Ivo Timmermans, Ivo van Dong, James MacLean, Jamie Briggs, Jason Harper, 
Jeroen Ubbink, Jerome Etienne, Julien Muchembled, Lo?c Greni?, Lubom?r Bulej, 
Mads Kiilerich, Marc A. Lehmann, Mark Glines, Markus Goetz, Martin Kihlgren, 
Martin Schobert, Martin Sch?rrer, Matias Carrasco, Max Rijevski, Menno Smits, 
Mesar Hameed, Michael Tokarev, Miles Nordin, Nick Hibma, Nick Patavalis, 
Paul Littlefield, Philipp Babel, Robert van der Meulen, Rumko, Scott Lamb, 
Sven-Haegar Koch, Teemu Kiviniemi, Timothy Redaelli, Tonnerre Lombard, 
Vil Brekin, Wessel Dankers and Wouter van Heyst.

And finally, thank you for using tinc!
