> With pleasure we announce the release of tinc version 1.1pre11. Here is
> a summary of the changes:
>
>  * Added a "network" command to list or switch networks.
>
>  * Switched to Ed25519 keys and the ChaCha-Poly1305 cipher for the new
>    protocol.
>
>  * AutoConnect is now a boolean option, when enabled tinc always tries
>    to keep at least three meta-connections open.
>
>  * The new protocol now uses UDP much more often.
>
>  * Tinc "del" and "get" commands now return a non-zero exit code when
>    they don't find the requested variable.
>
>  * Updated documentation.
>
>  * Added a "DeviceStandby" option to defer running tinc-up until a
>    working connection is made, and which on Windows will also change the
>    network interface link status accordingly.
>
>  * Tinc now tells the resolver to reload /etc/resolv.conf when it
>    receives SIGALRM.
>
>  * Improved error messages and event loop handling on Windows.
>
>  * LocalDiscovery now uses local address learned from other nodes, and
>    is enabled by default.
>
>  * Added a "BroadcastSubnet" option to change the behavior of broadcast
>    packets in router mode.
>
>  * Added support for dotted quad notation in IPv6 (e.g. ::1.2.3.4).
>
>  * Improved format of printed Subnets, MAC and IPv6 addresses.
>
>  * Added a "--batch" option to force the tinc CLI to run in
>    non-interactive mode.
>
>  * Improve default Device selection on *BSD and Mac OS X.
>
>  * Allow running tinc without RSA keys.
>
> Thanks to Etienne Dechamps, Sven-Haegar Koch, William A. Kennington III,
> Baptiste Jonglez, Alexis Hildebrandt, Armin Fisslthaler, Franz Pletz,
> Alexander Ried and Saverio Proto for their contributions to this version
> of tinc.
>
> Please note that although tinc 1.1pre11 is backwards compatible with
> tinc 1.0.x, it is NOT compatible with tinc 1.1pre1 through 1.1pre10.
