Gary Coady's Debian/Ubuntu update:
- Use dpkg-buildpackage to generate deb files
- Remove configuration checks from Debian init script
- Use common print functions in Debian init script
- Add 'tunnels' parameter to aiccu, which reports available tunnels
- Return non-zero exit code if unable to successfully authenticate to PoP
- Log to stderr instead of stdout
- end signal 0 to existing aiccu binary instead of SIGHUP
- Add debconf support
Due to debconf support one gets a really nice menu for selecting tunnels etc, thanks Gary!
Added OpenBSD PortInfo by Thomas Kaschwig
Added Makefile changes to support FreeBSD6, noted by Meno Abels
Added _NETBSD_SOURCE define as mentioned by Maarten Dammers
Changed aiccu_kame to do configuration differently depending if the interface is a proto-41 one or a tun device
Solaris and AIX support, also fixing some Endian issues
Multiple Tunnelbroker Support
AYIYA port number has been assigned (5072) and will now be used
DragonFlyBSD (which uses the FreeBSD4 interface) added as noted by Geert Hendrickx
defaultroute option (default: yes): can be used to disable default route creation
no-configure option: doesn't configure any interfaces nor routes, only does heartbeat or AYIYA
Post setup script, when specified will be called from AICCU to setup subnets or other things
AYIYA fixes: header alignment, TAP-Win32 8.1 driver support which is now required
Fedora packaging and fixups provided by Matt Domsch

2006.07.25

Versions: Unix, Released: 2006.07.25

DragonFlyBSD fixup for AYIYA and configuration

2006.08.06

Version number change for the package so that apt-get knows this version is newer than the one in the Debian repository

2007.01.07

Versions: Unix, Released: 2001.01.07
What: License change, Darwin and Linux fixes, OpenBSD 4.0, MTU support
The fixlist:

2007 Edition of AICCU
License change to standard 3-clause BSD license. With thanks to Theo de Raadt, Marco d'Itri and Philipp Kern for their wise words and reasoning for coming to this decision
High urgency because of the above and it fixing large problems.
Fixed Mac OS X / Darwin support on the MacBookPro of Pim van Pelt.
Added MTU, from TIC, configuration on most platforms.
Fixed up silly linux bug, adding LL address to tunnels but not to tun/taps.
Removed Win32 Alpha Endianess (reported by Christian Weisgerber).
Fixed up alignment error in parseline() (reported by Christian Weisgerber).
OpenBSD 4.0 support (patch provided by Christian Weisgerber).
OpenBSD AYIYA fixup (patch provided by Pim van Pelt).
Fedora/RPM init script fixup (bash case's don't fall through) reported and patch supplied by Matt Domsch.
NetBSD AYIYA support (noted by Tobias Riediger) Works on NetBSD 4.x, for NetBSD 3.0 one needs to patch tun/tap to support IPv6. Patch is available from the archives.
local_ipv4_override option so one can use AICCU behind a NAT that has been configured correctly to do proto-41 forwarding. This is usually called a DMZ setup.

2007.01.15

NetBSD fixes as there is not always a Tunnel Device that supports IPv6 (thanks to Geert Hendrickx).
Gentoo ebuild update, adding depends and require ntp-client.
RPM spec update, add build-requirement.
Check return values of system commands.
Added a big warning about running AICCU from Daemontools and similar programs which run AICCU in a loop, thus hammering the TIC server.
Be a bit smarter in checking for support of IPv6.

Tunnel Name/Labelling support

Future Updates / Wishlist / Known bugs and issues

See also the Changelog that is currently in CVS. Following is a list of items where the SixXS team is currently busy with:

New cross platform user interface
Additional support for OpenSSL next to GnuTLS (selectable at run and build time)
Windows AYIYA implementation doesn't route correctly, requires mac-based fixup.
Sanatize incoming data before passing it to system() alike functions, this could be a possible attack vector (reported by Jan Behrens) [one just has to trust us for the time being]
TLS support for the TIC server.
Configuration caching, avoiding to contact the TIC server.
Refetching of configuration data to test if they are still valid.
Reconfigure/fetch information on SIG-HUP.
Windows and Mac installer (For AYIYA tap driver and GNUTLS dlls).
L2TP Support (Yes, even under Windows one can do IPv6 in PPP in L2TP :) [works but needs to be 'prettyfied' for release].
TSP (Tunnel Setup Protocol) Support [experimental, no demand, thus low priority].

non-SSL IPv4 connection from 38.103.63.17
