tinc - Nov 2004 - [Announcement] Version 1.0.3 released

With pleasure we announce the release of version 1.0.3. Here is a
summary of the changes:

* Show error message when failing to write a PID file.

* Ignore spaces at end of lines in config files.

* Fix handling of late packets.

* Unify BSD tun/tap device handling. This allows IPv6 on tun devices and
  anything on tap devices as long as the underlying OS supports it.

* Handle IPv6 on Solaris tun devices.

* Allow tinc to work properly under Windows XP SP2.

* Allow VLAN tagged Ethernet frames in switch and hub mode.

* Experimental PMTUDiscovery, TunnelServer and BlockingTCP options.

This version of tinc is compatible with 1.0pre8, 1.0 and later,
but not with earlier version of tinc.

Ok, here's a weird one for ya.  Remember the system that was giving me lots
of late/replayed packet msgs?  It ("titan") is part of a multi-node
vpn
running in switch mode.  I upgraded it this morning from the subversion code
from 2 days ago to 1.0.3.  No problems after that.  Then I upgraded a second
host ("holden") from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3.  Suddenly those two hosts
can't talk to
each other through the vpn. ARPs from one to the other just sit incomplete. 
Sending tincd a SIGUSR2 shows that they do have a tinc-to-tinc connection
established between them in both directions.  They can both talk to a 3rd
host that is running an older version (not sure which ver, but its 1.0.2 or
less).

In troubleshooting, I've discovered that if either titan or holden is
running 1.0.3 and the other is running 1.0.2, or if both are running 1.0.2,
then they can talk to each other.  But if both are running 1.0.3, they can't
talk to each other.  I'm not sure what info may help since it has all worked
fine until now.

For now, I've reverted holden back to 1.0.2 (and left titan at 1.0.3 because
I've been enjoying a clean syslog log) so that things will work.

and possibly not with itself :-)

Thanks again for all your work on tinc
