=============================================================================

Detailed changelog is available via Git history via web:
http://opennhrp.git.sf.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=opennhrp;a=blob;f=NEWS;hb=HEAD

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.13 - released 25/Dec/2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - feature: add admin "interfaces show" command to display information about
   the interface cache
 - feature: support GRE interface binding changes (update gre nbma address
   properly, and purge peer cache) to support dual ISP setups with failover
 - fix: send registration reply even when all bindings are rejected
 - fix: fix really the holding-time to apply to shortcut-target
 - fix: fix hop count handling
 - fix: various memory leaks fixed
 - fix: fix memory corruption in the hlist structure (would be visible when
   opennhrp is acting as NHS with heavy traffic)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.12.3 - released 19/Aug/2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - feature: export reason why peer-down trigger was executed; and implement
   'lowerdown' opennhrpctl command for racoon hook to indicate that the
   IPsec SA has died (opennhrp-script can then avoid the unneccessary and
   possibly harmful call to racoonctl)
 - fix: route NHRP queries always via NHS (because ipsec initial-contact
   mechanism for purging dead IPsec SAs triggers after NHRP rediscovery,
   and if remote peer was rebooted, the direct link might be dead)
 - fix: don't negative cache entries on timeout (timeout is indication of
   temporary error: none of NHS' is reachable)
 - fix: don't reply to kernel's ARP queries using local route entries.
   this also prevents bad shortcut-routes if the local GRE prefix is
   a sub-prefix of routed subnet over the GRE

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.12.2 - released 07/Jul/2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - fix: regression introduced in 0.12's policy routing changes that
   shortcuts for in-NBMA network would not work unless using dynamic-map
   NHS configuration (from David Ward)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.12.1 - released 24/Mar/2011
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - feature: export tunnel GRE key to opennhrp-script
 - fix: build error against certain kernel versions and architectures
 - fix: update registrations when 1/3 of the holding-time has passed as
   per rfc recommendation
 - fix: fix holding-time to apply properly to shortcut-target blocks

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.12 - released 01/Nov/2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - feature: preliminary support for policy routing. cache kernel routes for
   each gre device and use them for routing lookups. nhrp shortcut routes
   should be in separate routing table. this allows nhrp message routing to
   always happen using bgp/ospf routes (for shortcut refreshes) and fixes
   shortcuts to converge with the main routing information.
 - feature: shortcut-target config option for subnet specific holding-time
   overrides and aggregation of local subnet to "summary shortcut"
 - fix: delete shortcut-routes if their gateway is removed to force renewal
   of the route (shortcut gateway can change due to bgp/ospf routing change)
 - fix: actually remove dynamic-nhs from peers if it's A entry is removed
 - fix: disallow duplicate cached entries with dynamic-nhs entries
 - randomize retry timer and increase script timeouts
 - improve logging a bit

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.11.5 - released 16/Mar/2010
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - clear negative cached entries for peers which sends resolution request

 opennhrp 0.11.2 - released 25/Sep/2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - fixed libev usage bug that could cause crash on script timeout
 - make lock file closed on exec so opennhrp-script instances won't keep
   opennhrp daemon lock

   not right)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.11.1 - released 31/Aug/2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - update libev version to 3.8

 opennhrp 0.11 - released 18/Jun/2009

   from a domain name with multiple A entries
 - 'multicast' directive to better control softswitching of multicast
   packets
 - use libev instead of the self written event handling code
 - enable Forward NHS extension for Traffic Indications to drop the message
   after it has visited all NHS:es (otherwise it would loop between them
   until ttl expires)

   switching, handling of registration requests and logging
 - fix 64-bit compatibility issues
 - some code documentation and clean ups

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 - try to combine shortcut routes to get less nhrp cache entries

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.10.1 - released 22/Apr/2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.9.3 - released 20/Feb/2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - when public IP changes purge all related peer entries (opennhrp should
   now survive and automatically re-register when dhcp enforces IP change)
 - remove an assertation that was invalid (could cause opennhrp to abort
   when acting as NHS in some situation)
 - make monotonic clock work with old uclibc

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.9.2 - released 31/Dec/2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.9.1 - released 31/Dec/2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - fix a crash in peer cache enumeration
 - update opennhrp-script to show how to add host route with mtu
 - lock pid file as first thing (to prevent accidental startup when opennhrp
   is already running)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - use monotonic system clock if available
 - allow startup even if dns names are unresolveable

 - Cisco NHS specific feature: send cisco compatible purge if unique NBMA
   mapping already exists (to re-register when NBMA address changes)
 - additional opennhrp-script example with ipsec certificate checking
 - some effort to make opennhrp compile on old system (in limited mode)
 - detect NBMA MTU from interface and transmit it over NHRP and pass it to
   opennhrp-script (to insert manual NBMA routes if path MTU discovery
   does not work)

   on startup) and peer-register (to e.g. validate peer protocol ip address
   from the ipsec certificate)
 - parse nat-oa for cached entries
 - routing regression fixes (don't try to resolve unreachable statically
   mapped peers)
 - fix deletion of multiple cache entries from enumeration code
   (crashed in some rare circumstances) 
 - check for IFA_LOCAL attribute presence before using it (fixes a crash)
 - fix bug which caused negative cache entries to prevent registration
   of the protocol address
 - code cleanups and some optimizations

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 opennhrp 0.6.2 - released 04/Apr/2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - accept shortcuts when a route to shortcut-destination interface exists
   (in addition to local addresses in that interface)
 - handle netlink link, address and route deleted notifications properly
 - print error if opennhrp-script fails for some reason
 - change peer flags: 'lower-up' means opennhrps-script was ran succesfully,
   'up' means registration has been also done (if it was required)
 - fix matching of local-nbma selector when gre interface has no remote
   address and is not explicitely bound to other interface
