I am happy to announce the release of GVPE version 2.2, after way too much
time has passed without a release.
Changes include:
- Finally changed to GPL 3 with a special permission to distribute the
resulting binaries when linked with openssl.
- gvpe now uses libev as event multiplexer instead of it's own homegrown
event system, which reduces code size and takes avdantage of
modern kernel interfaces such as epoll and kqueue.
- ondemand retry behaviour is now much more reasonable, in that gvpe will
no longer try to create ondemand conencitons indefinitely. This allows
much larger networks where most links are normally down.
- A large number of minor bugs have been fixed, such as leaking TCP
connections, incorrect retry times.
- Years of experience with actual failure modes have resulted in
tuning a lot of messages, such as when to warn about sliding window
violations and when not to.
- Retry is now much more aggressive, connections will be created earlier.
The on-write protocol is still the same, and 2.2 daemons are still
compatible to older releases w.r.t. the network protocol.
