## New Features between 2.0.x and 2.1.x
- Better ming Windows build support. ## Version Update
- Added `-E` flag to allow multicast ethernet traffic.
## Draft changelog between 2.8 and 3.0 (as of September 27, 2021) - change `VERSION` file to new version, e.g. `4.0.1`
- `git add VERSION`
- `git commit -m "moved to version 4.0.1"`
- `git tag -a 4.0.1 -m "moved to version 4.0.1"`
- `git push --tags`
### New Features
- Federated supernodes to allow multiple supernodes for load balancing and fail-over (`doc/Federation.md`) ## Draft changelog between 3.0 and 3.2 (as of 2022)
- 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) ### New Features
- 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
- Optionally bind edge to one local IP address only (extension to `-p`)
- A preferred local socket can be advertised to other edges for better local peer-to-peer connections (`-e`)
- Optional edge user and password authentication (`-J`, `-P`, `doc/Authentication.md`)
- Optional json format at management port allows for machine-driven handling such as `.html` page generation (`scripts/n2n-httpd`) or script-based evaluation (`scripts/n2n-ctl`)
- Completely overhauled build system including GitHub's action runners performing code syntax and formal checks, creating and running test builds, providing binairies and packages as artifacts and running verification tests
- Enhanced management port JSON interface to let n2n interact with external tools
- Added UPnP and PMP support at edge
- Furthered the build system
### Improvements ### Improvements
- Increased edges' resilience to temporary supernode failure - Fixed a federation related bug
- Fixed a compression-related memory leak
- Ciphers partly come with platform-specific hardware acceleration
- Added a test framework (`tools/test-*.c` and `tests/`)
- Clean-up management port output
- Polished benchmark tool output
- Spun-off the name resolution into a separate thread avoiding lags
- Added support for additional environment variables (`N2N_COMMUNITY`, `N2N_PASSWORD`, and `N2N_FEDERATION`)
- 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 (`-h` and more detailed `--help`)
- Self-monitoring time stamp accuracy for use on systems with less accurate clocks
- Fixed man pages' and config files' paths
- Code clean-up - Code clean-up
