With pleasure we announce the release of version 1.0.10. Here is a
summary of the changes:

 * Fixed potential crashes during shutdown and (in rare conditions) when other
   nodes disconnected from the VPN.

 * Improved NAT handling: tinc now copes with mangled port numbers, and will
   automatically fall back to TCP if direct UDP connection between nodes is not
   possible. The TCPOnly option should not have to be used anymore.

 * Allow configuration files with CRLF line endings to be read on UNIX.

 * Disable old RSA keys when generating new ones, and raise the default size of
   new RSA keys to 2048 bits.

 * Many fixes in the path MTU discovery code, especially when Compression is
   being used.

 * Tinc can now drop privileges and/or chroot itself.

 * The TunnelServer code now just ignores information from clients instead of
   disconnecting them.

 * Improved performance on Windows by using the new ProcessPriority option and
   by making the handling of packets received from the TAP-Win32 adapter more
   efficient.

 * Code cleanups: tinc now follows the C99 standard, copyright headers have
   been updated to include patch authors, checkpoint tracing and localisation
   features have been removed.

 * Support for (jailbroken) iPhone and iPod Touch has been added.

Thanks to Florian Forster, Grzegorz Dymarek and especially Michael Tokarev for
their contributions to this version of tinc.

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

The Windows installer for 1.0.10 is now compatible with XP and later, but not
with 2000. It does fully support tunneling over existing IPv6 networks though,
which was not possible while being compatible with 2000.
