+Do 31. Dez 15:32:40 CET 2009 Gert Doering
+
+ * Basic IPv6 p2mp functionality implemented
+
+ * new options:
+ - server-ipv6
+ - ifconfig-ipv6
+ - ifconfig-ipv6-pool
+ - route-ipv6
+ - iroute-ipv6
+
+ * modules touched:
+ - init.c: init & setup IPv6 route list & add/delete IPv6 routes
+ - tun.c: add "ifconfig" and "route" handling for IPv6
+ - multi.c: IPv6 ifconfig-pool assignments
+ put to route-hash table
+ push to client
+ - pool.c: extend pools to handle IPv4+IPv6, and also return IPv6 address
+ IPv6 address saved to file if ifconfig-pool-persist is set
+ (but ignored on read due to the way pools work)
+ - mroute.c: handle reading src/dst addresses from IPv6 packets
+ (so multi.c can check against route-hash table)
+ handle printing of IPv6 mroute_addr structure
+ - helper.c: implement "server-ipv6" macro (->ifconfig-ipv6, pool, ...)
+ - options.c: implement all the new options
+ add helper functions for IPv6 address handling
+ - forward.c: tell do_route() about IPv6 routes
+ - route.c: handle IPv6 route lists + route option lists
+ extend add_routes() to do IPv4 + IPv6 route lists
+ extend delete_routes() to do IPv4 + IPv6 route lists
+ implement add_route_ipv6(), delete_route_ipv6() to call
+ system-dependend external program to do the work
+ - push.c: handle pushing of "ifconfig-ipv6" option
+ - socket.c: helper function to check & print IPv6 address strings
+
+ * known issues:
+ - operating system support on all but Linux (ifconfig, route)
+ - route-ipv6 gateway handling
+ - iroute-ipv6 not implemented
+ - TAP support: ifconfig, routing (route needs gateway!)
+
+ * release as patch 20091231-1
+
+Thu Dec 31 17:02:08 CET 2009
+
+ * NetBSD port (NetBSD 3.1 on Sparc64)
+
+ * mroute.c, socket.c: make byte/word access to in6_addr more portable
+
+ * tun.c: fix IPv6 ifconfig arguments on NetBSD
+
+ still doesn't work on NetBSD 3.1, "ifconfig tun0 inet6..." errors with
+
+ ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Address family not supported by protocol family
+
+ (sys/net/if_tun.c, needs to be revision 1.80 or later, NetBSD PR 32944,
+ included in NetBSD 4.0 and up)
+
+
+Fri Jan 1 14:07:15 CET 2010
+
+ * FreeBSD port (FreeBSD 6.3-p12 on i386)
+
+ * tun.c: implement IPv6 ifconfig setting for FreeBSD
+
+ * route.c: fix %s/%s argument to IPv6 route add/delete command for *BSD
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: FreeBSD 6.3-p12, server-ipv6, route-ipv6, ccd/iroute-ipv6
+
+ * multi.c: implement setting and deleting of iroute-ipv6
+ (multi_add_iroutes(), multi_del_iroutes())
+ * mroute.c: add mroute_helper_add_iroute6(), mroute_helper_del_iroute6()
+ * mroute.h: add prototypes, increase MR_HELPER_NET_LEN to 129 (/0.../128)
+ * multi.c: zeroize host part of IPv6 iroutes in multi_learn_in6_addr()
+ * mroute.c: implement mroute_addr_mask_host_bits() for IPv6
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: Linux 2.6.30 (Gentoo)/iproute2, server-ipv6, ccd/iroute-ipv6
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: Linux 2.6.30 (Gentoo)/ifconfig, client-ipv6
+
+ * TEST FAIL: NetBSD 5.0, IPv6 client
+ - "ifconfig tun0 .../64" does not create a "connected" route
+ - adding routes fails
+
+ --> more work to do here.
+
+ * release as patch 20100101-1
+
+ * TEST FAIL:
+ FreeBSD 6.3-p12 server "--topology subnet"
+ Linux/ifconfig client
+ - BSD sends ICMP6 neighbor solicitations, which are ignored by Linux
+ - server tun interface is not in p2p mode, client tun interface *is*
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: non-ipv6 enabled client -> "--server-ipv6" server
+ (warnings in the log file, but no malfunctions)
+
+
+Sat Jan 2 19:48:35 CET 2010
+
+ * tun.c: change "ipv6_support()", do not turn off tt->ipv6 unconditionally
+ if we don't know about OS IPv6 support - just log warning
+
+ * tun.c: implement "ifconfig inet6" setting for MacOS X / Darwin
+
+ * route.c: split *BSD system dependent part of add/delete_route_ipv6()
+ into FreeBSD/Dragonfly and NetBSD/Darwin/OpenBSD variants
+ ("2001:db8::/64" vs. "2001:db8:: --prefixlen 64").
+
+ * tun.c: on MacOS X, NetBSD and OpenBSD, explicitely set on-link route
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: MacOS X, client-ipv6 with route-ipv6
+
+
+Sun Jan 3 10:55:31 CET 2010
+
+ * route.c: NetBSD fails with "-iface tun0", needs gateway address
+ (assume that the same syntax is needed for OpenBSD)
+
+ * route.h: introduce "remote_endpoint_ipv6" into "struct route_ipv6_list"
+
+ * init.c: pass "ifconfig_ipv6_remote" as gateway to init_route_ipv6_list()
+
+ * route.c:
+ - init_route_ipv6(): use "remote_endpoint_ipv6" as IPv6 gateway address
+ if no gateway was specified explicitely
+
+ - init_route_ipv6_list(): fill in "remote_endpoint_ipv6", if parseable
+
+ - get rid of "GATEWAY-LESS ROUTE6" warning
+
+ * route.c, add_route_ipv6()
+ - explicitely clear host bits of base address, to be able to more
+ easily set up "connected" /64 routes on NetBSD+Darwin
+
+ - split system-dependent part between Darwin and NetBSD/OpenBSD
+ (Darwin can use "-iface tun0", NetBSD/OpenBSD get gateway address)
+
+ - change Solaris comments from "known-broken" to "unknown"
+
+ * tun.c: rework NetBSD tunnel initialization and tun_read() / tun_write()
+ to work the same way OpenBSD and NetBSD do - tunnel is put into
+ "multi-af" mode, and all packet read/write activity is prepended by
+ a 32 bit value specifying the address family.
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: NetBSD 5.0/Sparc64: client-ipv6 with route-ipv6
+
+ * TEST SUCCESS: MacOS X 10.5: client-ipv6 with route-ipv6
+
+ * (RE-)TEST SUCCESS: Linux/iproute2: server-ipv6
+ Linux/ifconfig: client-ipv6
+ FreeBSD 6.3: server-ipv6
+
+ * release as patch 20100103-1
+
+ * options.c: document all new options in "--help"
+
+ * tun.c: fix typo in Solaris-specific section
+
+ * socket.h, socket.c: change u_int32_t to uint32_t
+ (Solaris - and all the rest of the code uses "uintNN" anyway)
+
+Mon Jan 4 17:46:58 CET 2010
+
+ * socket.c: rework add_in6_addr() to use 32-bit access to struct in6_addr
+ (Solaris has no 16-bit values in union, but this is more elegant as well)
+
+ * tun.c: fix "ifconfig inet6" command for Solaris
+
+ * tun.c: make sure "tun0 inet6" is unplumbed first, cleanup leftovers
+
+ * route.c: add routes with "metric 0" on solaris, otherwise they just
+ don't work (someone who understands Solaris might want to fix this).
+
+ * Solaris "sort of" works now - ifconfig works, route add does not give
+ errors, "netstat -rn" looks right, but packets are discarded unless
+ the routes are installed with "metric 0". So we just use "metric 0"...
+
+ * CAVEAT: Solaris "ifconfig ... preferred" interferes with source address
+ selection. So if there are any active IPv6 interfaces configured with
+ "preferred", packets leaving out the tunnel will use the wrong source
+ IPv6 address. Not fixable from within OpenVPN.
+
+ * CAVEAT2: Solaris insists on doing DHCPv6 on tun0 interfaces by default,
+ so DHCPv6 solicitation packets will be seen. Since the server end has
+ no idea what to do with them, they are a harmless nuisance. Fixable
+ on the Solaris side via "ndpd.conf" (see ``man ifconfig'').
+
+ * release as patch 20100104-1
