Changes Since 1.5.0 ------------------- 2004.05.09 -- Version 1.6.0
* Unchanged from 1.6-rc4 except for version number upgrade. 2004.04.01 -- Version 1.6-rc4 * Made minor customizations to devcon and renamed as tapinstall.exe for Windows version. * Fixed "storage size of `iv' isn't known" build problem on FreeBSD. * OpenSSL 0.9.7d bundled with Windows self-install. 2004.03.13 -- Version 1.6-rc3 * Minor Windows fixes for --ip-win32 dynamic, relating to the way the TAP-Win32 driver responds to a DHCP request from the Windows DHCP client. * The net_gateway environmental variable wasn't being set correctly for called scripts (Paul Zuber). * Added code to determine the default gateway on FreeBSD, allowing the --redirect-gateway option to work (Juan Rodriguez Hervella). 2004.03.04 -- Version 1.6-rc2 * Fixed bug in Windows version where the NetBIOS node-type DHCP option might have been passed even if it was not specified. * Fixed bug in Windows version introduced in 1.6-rc1, where DHCP timeout would be set to 0 seconds if --ifconfig option was used and --ip-win32 option was not explicitly specified. * Added some new --dhcp-option types for Windows version. 2004.03.02 -- Version 1.6-rc1 * For Windows, make "--ip-win32 dynamic" the default. * For Windows, make "--route-delay 10" the default unless --ip-win32 dynamic is not used or --route-delay is explicitly specified. * L_TLS mutex could have been left in a locked state for certain kinds of TLS errors. 2004.02.22 -- Version 1.6-beta7 * Allow scheduling priority increase (--nice) together with UID/GID downgrade (--user/--group). * Code that causes SIGUSR1 restart on TLS errors in TCP mode was not activated in pthread builds. * Save the certificate serial number in an environmental variable called tls_serial_{n} prior to calling the --tls-verify script. n is the current cert chain level. * Added NetBSD IPv6 tunnel capability (also requires a kernel patch) (Horst Laschinsky). * Fixed bug in checking the return value of the nice() function (Ian Pilcher). * Bug fix in new FreeBSD IPv6 over TUN code which was originally added in 1.6-beta5 (Nathanael Rensen). * More Socks5 fixes -- extended the struct frame infrastructure to accomodate proxy-based encapsulation overhead. * Added --dhcp-option to Windows version for setting adapter properties such as WINS & DNS servers. * Use a default route-delay of 5 seconds when --ip-win32 dynamic is specified (only applicable when --route-delay is not explicitly specified). * Added "log_append" registry variable to control whether the OpenVPN service wrapper on Windows opens log files in append (log_append="1") or truncate (log_append="0") mode. The default is truncate. 2004.02.05 -- Version 1.6-beta6 * UDP over Socks5 fix to accomodate Socks5 encapsulation overhead (Christof Meerwald). * Minor --ip-win32 dynamic tweaks (use long lease time, invalidate existing lease with DHCPNAK). 2004.02.01 -- Version 1.6-beta5 * Added Socks5 proxy support (Christof Meerwald). * IPv6 tun support for FreeBSD (Thomas Glanzmann). * Special TAP-Win32 debug mode for Windows self-install that was enabled in beta4 is now turned off. * Added some new Solaris notes to INSTALL (Koen Maris). * More work on --ip-win32 dynamic. 2004.01.27 -- Version 1.6-beta4 * For this beta, the Windows self-install is a debug version and will run slower -- use only for testing. * Reverted the --ip-win32 default back to 'ipapi' from 'dynamic'. * Added the offset parameter to '--ip-win32 dynamic' which can be used to control the address of the masqueraded DHCP server which replies to Windows DHCP requests. * Added a wait/nowait option to --inetd (nowait can only be used with TCP sockets, TLS authentication, and over a bridged configuration -- see FAQ for more info) (Stefan `Sec` Zehl). * Added a build-time capability where TAP-Win32 driver debug messages can be output by OpenVPN at --verb 6 or higher. 2004.01.20 -- Version 1.6-beta2 * Added ./configure --enable-iproute2 flag which uses iproute2 instead of route + ifconfig -- this is necessary for the LEAF Linux distro (Martin Hejl). * Added renewal-time and rebind-time to set of DHCP options returned by the TAP-Win32 driver when "--ip-win32 dynamic" is used. 2004.01.14 -- Version 1.6-beta1 * Fixed --proxy bug that sometimes caused plaintext control info generated by the proxy prior to http CONNECT method establishment to be incorrectly parsed as OpenVPN data. * For Windows version, implemented the "--ip-win32 dynamic" method and made it the default. This method sets the TAP-Win32 adapter IP address and netmask by replying to the kernel's DHCP queries. See the man page for more detailed info. * Added --connect-retry parameter which controls the time interval (in seconds) between connect() retries when --proto tcp-client is used. Previously, this value was hardcoded to 5 seconds, and still defaults as such. * --resolv-retry can now be used with a parameter of "infinite" to retry indefinitely. * Added SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() to ssl.c for support of multi-level certificate chains (Sten Kalenda). * Fixed --tls-auth incompatibility with 1.4.x and earlier versions of OpenVPN when the passphrase file is an OpenVPN static key file (as generated by --genkey). * Added shell-escape support in config files using the backslash character ("\") so that (for example) double quotes can be passed to the shell. * Added "contrib" subdirectory on tarball, source zip, and CVS containing user-submitted contributions. * Added an optional patch to the Redhat init script to allow the configuration file directory to be a multi-level directory hierarchy (Farkas Levente). See contrib/multilevel-init.patch * Added some scripts and documentation on using Linux "fwmark" iptables rules to enable fine-grained routing control over the VPN (Sean Reifschneider, <j...@tummy.com>).
