Revert "Raise default crypto algorithms to AES256 and SHA256."
Although it would be better to have the new defaults, only the most recent

OpenSSL that supports SHA256. To ensure people can compile tinc and that nodes
can interact with each other, we revert the default back to Blowfish and SHA1.

Send large packets we cannot handle properly via TCP.
During the path MTU discovery phase, we might not know the maximum MTU yet, but
we do know a safe minimum. If we encounter a packet that is larger than that
the minimum, we now send it via TCP instead to ensure it arrives. We also
allow large packets that we cannot fragment or create ICMP replies for to be
sent via TCP.
Use a mutex to allow the TAP reader to process packets faster on Windows.
The TAP-Win32 device is not a socket, and select() under Windows only works
with sockets. Tinc used a separate thread to read from the TAP-Win32 device,
and passed this via a local socket to the main thread which could then select()
from it. We now use a global mutex, which is only unlocked when the main thread
is waiting for select(), to allow the TAP reader thread to process packets
directly.
Raise default crypto algorithms to AES256 and SHA256.
In light of the recent improvements of attacks on SHA1, the default hash
algorithm in tinc is now SHA256. At the same time, the default symmetric
encryption algorithm has been changed to AES256.
This allows us to use getaddrinfo(), getnameinfo() and related functions, which
allow tinc to make connections over existing IPv6 networks. These functions are
not available on Windows 2000 however. By default, support is enabled, but when
compiling for Windows 2000 the configure switch --with-windows2000 should be
used.
Since getaddrinfo() et al. are not functions but macros on Windows, we have to
use AC_CHECK_DECLS() instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS() in configure.in.
We used both rand() and random() in our code. Since it returns an int, we have
to use %x in our format strings instead of %lx. This fixes a crash under
Windows when cross-compiling tinc with a recent version of MinGW.
Apparently it's impolite to ask GCC to subtract two pointers.
If two pointers do not belong to the same array, pointer subtraction gives
nonsensical results, depending on the level of optimisation and the
architecture one is compiling for. It is apparently not just subtracting the
pointer values and dividing by the size of the object, but uses some kind of
higher magic not intended for mere mortals. GCC will not warn about this at
all. Casting to void * is also a no-no, because then GCC does warn that strict
aliasing rules are being broken. The only safe way to query the ordering of two
pointers is to use the (in)equality operators.
The unsafe implementation of connection_compare() has probably caused the "old
connection_t for ... still lingering" messages. Our implementation of AVL trees
is augmented with a doubly linked list, which is normally what is traversed.
Only when deleting an old connection the tree itself is traversed.
Handle unicast packets larger than PMTU in switch mode.
If PMTUDiscovery is enabled, and we see a unicast packet that is larger than
the path MTU in switch mode, treat it just like we would do in router mode.
Allow PMTUDiscovery in switch and hub modes again.
PMTUDiscovery was disabled in commit d5b56bbba56480b5565ffb38496175a7c1df60ac
because tinc did not handle packets larger than the path MTU in switch and hub
modes. We now allow it again in preparation of proper support, but default to
off.
Put Subnet weight in a separate environment variable.
Commit 5674bba5c54c1aee3a4ac5b3aba6b3ebded91bbc introduced weighted Subnets,
but the weight was included in the SUBNET variable passed to subnet-up/down
scripts. This makes it harder to use in those scripts. The weight is now
stripped from the SUBNET variable and put in the WEIGHT variabel.
Grzegorz Dymarek noted that tinc segfaults at the stat() call in
execute_script() on the iPhone. We can omit the stat() call for the moment,
the subsequent call to system() will fail with just a warning.
This is a slightly modified patch from Grzegorz Dymarek that allows tinc to use
the tunemu device, which allows tinc to be compiled for iPhones and recent
iPods. To enable support for tunemu, the --enable-tunemu option has to be used
when running the configure script.
Tinc is licensed under the GPL version 2 or later. To ensure autoconf does not
install the wrong license if COPYING is missing, we have to put the right one
in place.
These functions wrap asprintf() and vasprintf(), and check the return value. If
the function failed, tinc will exit with an error message, similar to xmalloc()
and friends.
Always remove a node from the UDP tree before freeing it.
Valgrind caught tinc reading free'd memory during a purge(). This was caused by
first removing it from the main node tree, which will already call free_node(),
and then removing it from the UDP tree. This might cause spurious segmentation
faults.

us too, returning false for indirect DEL_SUBNET.
