## Draft changelog between 2.8.x and 2.9.x (as of June 4, 2021)

|
### New Features
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Federated supernodes to allow multiple supernodes for load balancing and fail-over (`doc/Federation.md`)
|
|
|
|
|
- Automatic IP address assignment allows edges to draw IP addresses from the supernode (just skip `-a`)
|
|
|
|
|
- Allowed community names can be restricted by regular expressions (`community.list` file)
|
|
|
|
|
- Network filter for rules (`-R`) allowing and denying specific traffic to tunnel
|
|
|
|
|
- Experimental TCP support (`-S2`) lets edges connect to the supernodes via TCP in case firewalls block UDP (not available on Windows yet)
|
|
|
|
|
- All four supported ciphers offer integrated versions rendering OpenSSL dependency non-mandatory (optionally still available)
|
|
|
|
|
- MAC and IP address spoofing prevention
|
|
|
|
|
- Network interface metric can be set by command-line option `-x` (Windows only)
|
|
|
|
|
- Re-enabled local peer detection by multicast on Windows
|
|
|
|
|
- Edge identifier (`-I`) helps to identify edges more easily in management port output
|
|
|
|
|
- Optional edge user and password authentication (`-J`, `-P`, `doc/Authentication.md`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Improvements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Increased edges' resiliance to temporary supernode failure
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a compression-related memory leak
|
|
|
|
|
- Ciphers partly come with platform-specific hardware acceleration
|
|
|
|
|
- Clean-up management port output
|
|
|
|
|
- Polished benchmark tool output
|
|
|
|
|
- Spun-off the name resolution into a seperate thread avoiding lags
|
|
|
|
|
- Implemented new `reload_communities` command to make supernode hot-reload the `-c` provided `community.list` file, issued through management port
|
|
|
|
|
- Reactivated send out of gratuitous ARP packet on establishing connection
|
|
|
|
|
- Enhanced documentation (`doc/` folder) including the man pages and command-line help text
|
|
|
|
|
- Self-monitoring time stamp accuracy for use on systems with less accurate clocks
|
|
|
|
|
- Fixed man pages' and config files' paths
|
|
|
|
|
- Code clean-up
