gvpe-2.24 (the GNU Virtual Private Ethernet) has just been released.
It is mainly a minor cleanup/bugfix release - the most noteworthy bugfix
is fixing a longstanding bug where, after the right sequence of packet
losses, one node failed to establish a connection to another node until
the other node tried to communicate first.
This release also fixes a problem with the compression setting that caused
compression to be enabled "almost always".
On the feature side, you can now set an nfmark on outgoing packets, there
is support for a node-change script, in addition to node-up and node-down,
and DESTSI is available in all the scripts now.
Gvpe has moved it's wbe presence to http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/gvpe.html,
which also describes how to access the CVS repository and other resources.
Releases cna be downlaoded from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gvpe/
The whole NEWS entry for this release is:
2.24 Sat Feb 12 05:15:48 CET 2011
- protocol version 0.1, compatible with older releases.
- due to a bug, when packets were lost, a connection could go into a
state where a ping/connection request from another node would be
ignored, leading to connections not being re-established.
- due to a bug, compression was almost always enabled.
- enable-max-mtu was actually enable-mtu, contrary to documentation.
- add nfmark support.
- add node-change script support.
- new DESTSI variable for node-xxx scripts.
- updated codingstyle a bit, declared truly static stuff as static.
- clarify compression docs.
