== Version 0.9 March 2012 ==
 +
The changes featured in the release are:
 +
* relicensed using the MIT Expat license instead of the GPLv2 license
 +
* enforce GNU coding style using uncrustify, include vim/emacs mode lines
 +
* reimplement mobile router using netfilter queue instead of libipq
 +
* removed GPLed header files and assembly language
 +
* removed outdated kernel support, libipsec, and i3 protocol code
 +
* removed PF_KEY thread, replacing with direct SADB calls
 +
* fix compilation under Ubuntu 11.10 and Fedora 15 (gcc 4.6.1/4.6.0)
 +
* added 'make check' target that launches automated testing using [http://code.google.com/p/coreemu/ CORE]
 +
* implemented RFC 4303 ESP anti-replay protection with 64-bit ESN
 +
* implemented experimental multihoming triggered by lost ESP seq. numbers
 +
* added hip.conf options for ignored_address, save_my_identities
 +
* for HIP_VPLS/endbox mode pass layer-2 traffic: include ethernet headers in tunnel; use hello protocol for endbox multicast election; allow default endbox for unresolvable legacy addresses
 +
* use pbuilder-dist and mock for building deb and RPM packages
 +
 +
== Version 0.8 July 2011 ==
 +
 +
The changes featured in the release are:
 +
* numerous bugfixes since the 0.7 release (see the [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=132288&atid=723838 bug tracker])
 +
* use IANA allocated HIP UDP port 10500 instead of 50500
 +
* contribution from Alexander Kiening: process RVS addresses from DNS response
 +
* improved mobile router to allow a mobile node behind one mobile router to connect to a mobile node behind another mobile router
 +
* support for mobile router double-jump
 +
* implement SA timeout, expiration
 +
* various endbox improvements
 +
* code to support OpenWRT compilation under ARM architecture
 +
 +
The deb files were built using Ubuntu 10.10, and the rpm files using Fedora 13.
 +
 +
== Version 0.7 October 2009 ==
 +
 +
The big changes are:
 +
* HIP now operates over UDP by default, allowing you to initiate connections from behind a NAT
 +
* mobility handovers between IPv4 and IPv6 now possible in the mobile router mode
 +
 +
Here is a list of changes with greater detail:
 +
* changes from 0.7_RC1 to 0.7 include fixing a shutdown bug, mobility bug, secret key issue, and not sending locator parameters in R1 messages (unless --enable-mobile-router is used)
 +
* cleanup of the NAT code and implementation of the nat-08 draft for HIP/ESP over UDP that shares the same port 50500; removed all STUN code and options, now uses UDP by default for IPv4
 +
* cleanup command-line options
 +
* rewrite and cleanup of registration and rendezvous code in support of RFC 5203 and RFC 5204
 +
* update to mobile router code to allow address family handovers when changing the MR's public address; cleanup of mobile router code, globals changed to static locals; support IPv4 in mobile router
 +
* update to --enable-sma-crawler=(config) option, files-based configuration library; now uses OpenSSL engine interface, removing OpenSC dependencies
 +
* restructure the HIP configuration library code to put common code in a base class
 +
* tested on Windows Vista, XP, Fedora 11, Ubuntu 9.04, CentOS 5.3, Mac OS X
 +
 
== Version 0.6 May 2009 ==
 
== Version 0.6 May 2009 ==
 +
This is a maintenance release that fixes several bugs, and introduces the following new code:
 +
* Boeing's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Mobile_Architecture_(SMA) Secure Mobile Architecture] (SMA) implementation
 +
* Smartcard support with LDAP configuration API
 +
* Mobile router implementation of draft-melen-hip-mr-02.txt  (Note:  This is not an interoperable implementation with a draft-conformant implementation, but more of a demo-level implementation of the key features of HIP mobile router).
 +
 +
Note that instructions for building and configuring these new options
 +
are being developed, check this wiki ([[Usage]]) for updated information.

Version 0.5.1 June 2008

This is just a small maintenance release, for interoperability.

  • Update Protocol Number to "139" to align with published RFC 5201.
  • Add known host identities for infrahip machines
  • Fix a parameter ordering problem

Version 0.5 October 2007

This version implements the following IETF Internet Drafts:

  • draft-ietf-hip-base-09.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-esp-06.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-mm-05.txt
  • draft-ahrenholz-hiprg-dht-01.txt

In addition, one can follow draft-ietf-hip-applications-01 and use this implementation with legacy applications and APIs.

This version also provides (largely unmaintained) support for some earlier other HIP drafts:

  • draft-nikander-hiprg-hi3-00.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-registration-00.txt
  • draft-ietf-hip-rvs-00.txt
  • draft-schmitt-hip-nat-traversal-02.txt
