+Since pre5, tinc can operate in several routing modes. The default mode,
+"router", works exactly like the older version, and uses Subnet lines to
+determine the destination of packets. The other two modes, "switch" and "hub",
+allow the tinc daemons to work together like a single network switch or hub.
+This is useful for bridging networks.
+
+The algorithms used for encryption and generating message authentication codes
+can now be changed in the configuration files. All cipher and digest algorithms
+supported by OpenSSL can be used. Useful ciphers are "blowfish" (default),
+"bf-ofb", "des", "des3", etcetera. Useful digests are "sha1" (default), "md5",
+etcetera.
+
+Preliminary support for routing IPv6 packets has been added. Just add Subnet
+lines with IPv6 addresses (without using :: abbreviations) and use ifconfig to
+give the virtual network interface corresponding IPv6 addresses.
+Autoconfiguration will not work in router mode.
