Change Log: 2004.06.05 -- Version 2.0-beta3
* More changes to TAP-Win32 driver's INF file which affects the placement of the driver in the Windows device namespace. This is done to work around an apparent bug in Windows when short HWIDs are used, and will also ease the upgrade from 1.x to 2.0 by reducing the chances that a reboot will be needed on upgrade. Like beta2, this upgrade will delete existing TAP-Win32 interfaces, and reinstall a single new interface with default properties. * Major rewrite of I/O event wait layer in the style of libevent. This is a precursor to TCP support in --mode server. * New feature: --status. Outputs a SIGUSR2-like status summary to a given file, updated once per n seconds. The status file is comma delimited for easy machine parsing. * --ifconfig-pool now remembers common names and will try to assign a consistent IP to a given common name. Still to do: persist --ifconfig-pool memory across restarts by saving state in file. * Fixed bug in event timer queue which could cause recurring timer events such as --ping to not correctly schedule again after firing. This in turn would cause spurrious ping restarts and possible connection outages. Thanks to Denis Vlasenko for tracking this down. * Possible fix to reported bug where --daemon argument was not printing to syslog correctly after restart. * Fixed bug where pulling --route or --dhcp-option directives from a server would problematically interact with --persist-tun on the client. * Updated contrib/multilevel-init.patch (Farkas Levente). * Added RPM build option to .spec and .spec.in files to optionally disable LZO inclusion (Ian Pilcher). * The latest MingW runtime and headers define 'ssize_t', so a patch is needed (Gisle Vanem).
