New versions will be coming fast and furious for a bit as bugs get fixed and
testing is done in prep to the first binary release.
This version fixes a problem with WAN path discovery and a possible security
issue in PacketDecoder. (see previous comments)
(1) The changes to path learning in the two previous releases were poorly thought out,
and this version should remedy that by introducing PROBE. This is basically a kind of
ECHO request and is used to authenticate endpoints that are not learned via a valid
request/response pair. Thus we will still passively learn endpoints, but securely.
(2) Turns out there was a security oversight in _doHELLO() that could have permitted...
well... I'm not sure it was exploitable to do anything particularly interesting since
a bad identity would be discarded anyway, but fix it just the same.
This version contains few changes that are visible to users building from source.
It contains an almost-complete version of the Qt-based GUI in ZeroTierUI, though
this is still a work in progress. It also contains the software update infrastructure,
which is not yet enabled by default but does basically work. Some cleanup and
dead code removal has also occurred.
The next release will probably be the first binary release with auto-update and a
full UI experience for Linux and Mac. Windows will follow later, as more work has
to be done on the Windows port.
This version fixes a recurrent gremlin in the tap driver for Mac. If you are
having this issue, you should reinstall the tap.
If you're already running ZT1, shut it down (sudo killall zerotier-one) and
then do:
sudo kextunload /Library/Application\ Support/ZeroTier/One/tap.kext
This should unload the old version. Then type 'sudo make install-mac-tap' in
the ZT1 source home directory and the new version will be installed. ZT1 will
load the module again when it next starts.
In addition to a fix, I am now distributing tap binaries and it is no longer
built in the default Makefile. This is because Apple's in the midst of some
changes that have made building it somewhat difficult.
Another note for Mavericks users:
The first time you use ZT1, you will get a popup about unsigned kernel
extensions. This will vanish once we're out of beta and have signing keys
and signed drivers.
Other changes in this version:
* Minor improvement to Utils::getSecureRandom
* Bug fixes and a small change to certificates of membership for private
networks, which now appear to be working very well!
* Stubbed out messages for auto-update, which will be done in-band via
the ZT1 protocol. Not implemented yet.
This version removes the peer DBM present in earlier releases. It is not necessary for
regular clients and has been a source of problems.
There is a long-term identity cache that can be enabled by making a directory called
"iddb.d" in the home folder and restarting ZT1. This is probably something only our
supernodes would need, since regular nodes can easily WHOIS peers they've forgotten
about.
On shutdown, the peer database is dumped to disk. It's then restored on startup.
Peers that have not been used in a while are cleaned out, so this keeps this data
set small.
A DBM may re-appear later if it's needed, but for now it was YAGNI.
Version 0.6.0 marks the transition of ZeroTier One from ALPHA to BETA.
Major updates to the web site and binary packages for MacOS and Linux
are coming soon, followed by Windows soon thereafter.
This version contains a number of changes including:
* Speed improvements to encryption
* A new much-improved identity algorithm, which unfortunately requires an
identity regeneration. This should happen automatically, and should be
the last time for a good long while assuming there's nothing wrong with
what's here.
* Cleaned up the Network::Config mess in the code, factored out Config
into its own NetworkConfig class.
* Lots of work to support private networks, which are still in testing.
Concurrent with the web site update will be another minor release to
include any fixes there.
* Some changes to the protocol for better future-proofing.
* Netconf support for ARP caching parameters configurable on per-network
basis.
You must update to stay connected to the network; this version will not
talk to 0.5.0. After this, I'm going to be much more reluctant to make
incompatible changes.
ZeroTier One creates flat virtual Ethernet networks of almost unlimited size. [Visit ZeroTier Networks on the web](https://www.zerotier.com/) for more information.
This code is presently in **ALPHA** testing. That means that the protocol spec may change in incompatible ways, and it certainly has bugs. Testers should "git pull," rebuild, and restart fairly often. If things mysteriously stop working, do that.
This project is now in beta, which means that major incompatible protocol shifts should now become considerably more rare. You should still update very often if you plan to use it. Binary packages with auto-update are coming very soon.
Follow the [ZeroTier blog](http://blog.zerotier.com/) and the [GitHub project](https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne) to stay up to date.
See BUILDING.txt and RUNNING.txt for instructions. It currently builds on Mac and Linux. A Windows port is well along the way to completion. If you're brave you can load the Visual Studio 2012 solution and play around.

Once you have it running you can join the Earth network -- a LAN for the planet -- by using the 'zerotier-cli' tool: 'sudo zerotier-cli join bc8f9a8ee3000001'. Right now Earth is the only network. Ability to create private networks, as well as some additional special-purpose public ones, will be coming soon. (Note: previous alpha versions auto-joined Earth, but since 0.5.0 it no longer does this.)

Note that this won't work if your firewall does not allow outbound UDP. It must allow two way UDP conversations on port 9993 at a minimum.
