Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

NEWS for user.

- Policy based routing. Routing decisions are made on the basis
|
|
not only of destination address, but also source address,
|
|
TOS and incoming interface.
|
|
- Complete set of IP level control messages.
|
|
Now Linux is the only OS in the world complying to RFC requirements.

Great win 8)

- New interface addressing paradigm.
|
|
Assignment of address ranges to interface,
|
|
multiple prefixes etc. etc.
|
|
Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover:
|
|
- You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore,
|
|
it is done automatically.
|
|
- "Abstract" UNIX sockets and security enhancements.
|
|
This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library.
|
|
|
|
NEWS for hacker.
|
|
|
|
- New destination cache. Flexible, robust and just beautiful.
|
|
- Network stack is reordered, simplified, optimized, a lot of bugs fixed.
|
|
(well, and new bugs were introduced, but I haven't seen them yet 8))
|
|
It is difficult to describe all the changes, look into source.
|
|
|
|
If you see this file, then this patch works 8)
