@node Release 8_5_0
@section Release 8.5.0
@itemize

@item
Fixed @command{nncp-bundle} workability.

@item
Mistakenly @option{-mcd-wait} option was enabled by default in
@command{nncp-call}.

@item
Ability to override internal default timeout for online protocol through
@env{$NNCPDEADLINE} environment variable. Can be useful for very high
delay links.

@item
NNCP builds on OpenBSD.

@end itemize

@node Release 8_4_0
@section Release 8.4.0
@itemize

@item
Multicast related interface names (@code{mcd-listen} and @code{mcd-send}
configuration options) are now regular expressions. By default
@command{nncp-cfgnew} uncomments them now with @code{.*} interface name.

@item
@command{nncp-call} command has @option{-mcd-wait} option to wait for
multicast packet about node's address.

@item
@command{nncp-file} command skips everything that is neither regular
file nor directory during pax-archive creation.

@itemize

@item
Fixed building issues on 32-bit systems.

@end itemize

@node Release 8_2_0
@section Release 8.2.0
@itemize

@item
Yggdrasil uses pure-Go IPv6+TCP network stack, instead of naked μTP
transport protocol, making it able to work as an ordinary TCP server
inside overlay network.

@item
Yggdrasil's @code{prv;bind1,bind2;pub...}-like configuration strings are
replaced with URL-like ones (@code{yggdrasils://PRV?bind=BIND1&bind=BIND2&pub=PUB}).

@item
Ability to pass multicast-related parameters to Yggdrasil configuration.

@item
@command{nncp-daemon} is able to listen on both TCP and Yggdrasil-driven
sockets simultaneously.

@item
@command{nncp-daemon}'s listening on peering endpoint socket is optional
-- you can be reached through the peers.

@end itemize

@node Release 8_1_0
@section Release 8.1.0
@itemize

@item
@command{nncp-cfgdir} does not require @code{self} section existence in
configuration file.

@item
Ability to act as Yggdrasil network client, using online protocol on top of it.

@end itemize

@node Release 8_0_2
@section Release 8.0.2
@itemize

@item
Fixed sending ability to areas.

@end itemize

@node Release 8_0_1
@section Release 8.0.1
@itemize

@item
Fixed incorrect @code{freq.chunked} value calculation. If it was missed,
then chunked transfer mode was forcefully turned on anyway.

@item
Fixed incorrect full file's size calculation in @file{.nncp.meta}.

@end itemize

@node Release 8_0_0
@section Release 8.0.0
@itemize

@item
@strong{Incompatible} encrypted packet format change: payload and pad
sizes are sent in-bound in the encrypted stream. That gives ability to
streamingly create encrypted packets, without knowing sizes in advance,
without creating temporary file or buffer data in memory.

@item
Proper encrypted packet padding verification is done now. This is not
critical issue, but previously neither padding value, nor its size were
authenticated, giving ability to iteratively strip trailing bytes and
determine payload's size by observing the reaction of the encrypted
packet processing.

@item
@command{nncp-exec} loses its @option{-use-tmp} option, because of
streaming-compatible encrypted packets format.

@item
@command{nncp-file} and @command{nncp-exec} commands have
@option{-maxsize} option, limiting maximal resulting encrypted packet's
maximal size (returning error if it is exceeded). Could be useful,
because no payload size could be known in advance.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_7_0
@section Release 7.7.0
@itemize

@item
Experimental @code{kqueue} and @code{inotify} based notifications
support about spool directory changes, for reducing their often reading
overhead.

@item
@file{.seen} and @file{.hdr} files moved to @file{seen/} and @file{hdr/}
subdirectories, for faster scanning of spool directories.
Current files migration required:

@example
$ find $NNCPSPOOL -type f -name "*.hdr" -exec rm @{@} +

$ find $NNCPSPOOL -type d -name rx | while read rx ; do
    cd $rx
    mkdir -p seen
    find . -type f -name "*.seen" | while read fn ; do
        mv $fn seen/$@{fn%.seen@}
    done
done

$ find $NNCPSPOOL -type d -name area | while read area ; do
    find $area -type f -name "*.seen" | while read fn ; do
        mv $fn $@{fn%.seen@}
    done
done
@end example

@end itemize

@node Release 7_6_0
@section Release 7.6.0
@itemize

@item
Logging may be done to specified opened file descriptor
(@env{$NNCPLOG=FD:5} for example).
That is friendly to use under @command{daemontools}.

@item
Added additional checks of public keys existence in configuration file,
preventing some commands from failing.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_5_1
@section Release 7.5.1
@itemize

@item
NNCP builds on NetBSD.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_5_0
@section Release 7.5.0
@itemize

@item
@command{nncp-daemon} is compatible with UCSPI-TCP interface, so log
will contain remote side's address (when running under appropriate
utility). @option{-ucspi} option should be used instead of @option{-inetd}.

@item
@command{nncp-call} can be UCSPI-TCP client, using @option{-ucspi} option.

@item
Do not exit if some of MCD network interfaces can not be listened --
only warn about that.

@end itemize

Small optimizations in online commands.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_2_0
@section Release 7.2.0
@itemize

@item
@command{nncp-trns} command appeared for manual transition packets creation.

@item
If destination node of transitional packet has non empty @option{via}
route, then do not ignore, but use it.

@item
Do not relay multicast packet to area message's originator, that
obviously has seen its own packet.

@item
Much less memory usage during MTH hashing when offset is zero: when
packet is not resumed, but for example checked with @command{nncp-check}
command.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_1_1
@section Release 7.1.1
@itemize

@item
Fixed failing directories fsync after @file{.seen} file creation.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_1_0
@section Release 7.1.0
@itemize

@item
Multicasting areas feature appeared. Implemented merely by an additional
plain packet type with @command{nncp-toss}, @command{nncp-file} and
@command{nncp-exec} commands modification.

@item
Fixed workability of @command{nncp-file} and @command{nncp-exec}
commands, that use temporary file (stdin and @option{-use-tmp}).

@item
Fixed disappearing bad return code in @command{nncp-exec} command.

@item
Fixed invalid @file{.hdr} generation when transitional packets are used.

@item
@option{-all} option appeared in @command{nncp-rm} command, applying to
all the nodes at once.

@item
@option{-cycle} option appeared in @command{nncp-check} command, looping
the check in infinite cycle.

@item
@command{nncp-rm} command can take node alias name.

@item
@command{nncp-pkt} can parse @file{.hdr} files.

@end itemize

@node Release 7_0_0
@section Release 7.0.0
@itemize

@item
Minimal required Go version 1.13.

@item
Merkle Tree-based Hashing with BLAKE3 (MTH) is used instead of BLAKE2b.
Because of that, there are backward @strong{incompatible} changes of
encrypted files (everything laying in the spool directory) and
@file{.meta} files of chunked transfer.

Current implementation is far from being optimal: it lacks
parallelizable calculations and has higher memory consumption: nearly
512 KiB for each 1 GiB of file's data. Future performance and memory
size optimizations should not lead to packet's format change. But it is
still several times faster than BLAKE2b.

@item
Resumed online downloads, because of MTH, require reading only of the
preceding part of file, not the whole one as was before.

@item
@command{nncp-hash} utility appeared for calculating file's MTH hash.

@item
BLAKE2 KDF and XOF functions are replaced with BLAKE3 in encrypted
packets. Lowering number of used primitives. Also, its encrypted
packet's header is used as an associated data during encryption.

@item
MultiCast Discovery uses
@verb{|ff02::4e4e:4350|} address instead of @verb{|ff02::1|}.

@item
@command{nncp-cfgenc} mistakenly asked passphrase three times during encryption.

@item
@command{nncp-stat} reports about partly downloaded packets.

@item
Updated dependencies.

@end itemize

@node Release 6_6_0
@section Release 6.6.0
@itemize

@item
@command{nncp-daemon}, @command{nncp-call} and @command{nncp-caller}
commands wait for all background checksummers completion after
connection is finished.

@item
Added possibility of address determining through multicast announcement
in local area network, so called MCD (MultiCast Discovery).

@end itemize

@node Release 6_5_0
@section Release 6.5.0
@itemize

@item
Fixed segfault in @command{nncp-daemon} when SP handshake did not succeed.

@item
Fixed possible bad return code ignoring in automatic tosser.

@item
Fixed race during file descriptors closing when online protocol call is
finished, that could lead to write error of received packet fragment.

@item
Kill all packet transmission progress bars in @command{nncp-daemon},
@command{nncp-call} and @command{nncp-caller} when call is finished.

@end itemize

@itemize

@item
Returned @command{nncp-caller}'s @option{-autotoss*} options workability.

@item
Yet another logging refactoring and simplification.
Should be no visible differences to the end user.

@end itemize

@node Release 6_1_0
@section Release 6.1.0
@itemize

@item
Optimization: most commands do not keep opened file descriptors now.
Previously you can exceed maximal number of opened files if you have got
many packets in the spool directory.

@item
Optimization: do not close file descriptor of the file we download
online. Previously each chunk lead to expensive open/close calls.

@item
Online downloaded files are saved with @file{.nock} (non-checksummed)
suffix, waiting either for @command{nncp-check}, or online daemons to
perform integrity check.

@item
Optimization: files, that are not resumed, are checksummed immediately
during the online download, skipping @file{.nock}-intermediate step.

@item
Ability to store encrypted packet's header in @file{.hdr} file, close to
the packet itself. That can greatly increase performance of packets
listing on filesystems with big block's size.

@end itemize

@node Release 6_0_0
@section Release 6.0.0
@itemize

@item
Log uses human readable and easy machine parseable
@url{https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/, recfile} format for the
records, instead of structured RFC 3339 lines. Old logs are not readable
by @command{nncp-log} anymore.

@item
@option{-autotoss*} option workability with @command{nncp-daemon}'s
@option{-inetd} mode.

@item
Call's @option{when-tx-exists} allows to make a call only when outbound
packets exists. Combined with seconds-aware cron expression that can be
used as some kind of auto dialler.

@item
@command{nncp-cronexpr} command allows you to check validity and
expectations of specified cron expression.

@end itemize

@node Release 5_6_0
@section Release 5.6.0
@itemize

@item
@option{-autotoss*} option runs tosser not after the call, but every
second while it is active.

@item
@option{autotoss}, @option{autotoss-doseen},
@option{autotoss-nofile}, @option{autotoss-nofreq},
@option{autotoss-noexec}, @option{autotoss-notrns} options available in
@option{calls} configuration section. You can configure per-call
automatic tosser options.

@item
Use vendoring, instead of @env{$GOPATH} overriding during tarball
installation, because current minimal Go's version is 1.12 and it
supports modules.

@end itemize

@node Release 5_5_1

Bugfixes in @command{nncp-call(er)}/@command{nncp-daemon},
@command{nncp-bundle} and @command{nncp-stat}.

@item
@command{nncp-rm} has @option{-dryrun} and @option{-older} options now.

@item
@command{nncp-exec} has @option{-use-tmp} and @option{-nocompress}
options now. Uncompressed packets are not compatible with previous NNCP
versions.

@item
@command{nncp-call}, @command{nncp-caller} and @command{nncp-daemon} commands
have @option{-autotoss*} options for running tosser after call is ended.

@itemize

@item
Updated dependencies.

@item
Build system is moved from Makefiles to @url{http://cr.yp.to/redo.html, redo}.

@section Release 5.3.0
@itemize

@item
Progress messages contain prefix, describing the running action.

@item
Fixed not occurring handshake messages padding.

@item
Finish all SP protocol related goroutines, less memory leak.

@item
SP protocol generates less socket write calls, thus generating less TCP
packets.

@item
Check @option{onlinedeadline} and @option{maxonlinetime} options every
second, independently from socket reads (up to 10 seconds).

@item
Once per minute, if no other traffic exists, PING packets are sent in
SP-connection. That allows faster determining of connection unworkability.

@item
@command{nncp-toss} uses lock-file to prevent simultaneous tossing.

@end itemize

@node Release 5_2_1
@section Release 5.2.1
@itemize

@item
Fixed SP protocol error handling, sometimes causing program panic.

@end itemize

@option{noprogress} configuration file option appeared.

@item
Fixed incorrect @command{nncp-check} command return code, that returned
bad code when everything is good.

@item
Free disk space check during @command{nncp-bundle -rx} call.

@end itemize

@node Release 5_1_2
@section Release 5.1.2
@itemize

@item
@strong{Critical} vulnerability: remote peers authentication could lead
to incorrect identification of remote side, allowing foreign encrypted
packets downloading.

@item
Bugfix: private and public Noise keys were swapped in newly created
configuration files, that lead to inability to authenticate online peers.

archive on the fly.

@item
Free disk space is checked during outbound packets creation.

@item
@option{freq}, @option{freqminsize}, @option{freqchunked} configuration
file options replaced with the structure:
@option{freq: @{path: @dots{}, minsize: @dots{}, chunked: @dots{}@}}.

@item
Added @option{freq.maxsize} configuration file option, forbidding of
freq sending larger than specified size.

@item
Ability to notify about successfully executed commands (exec) with
@option{notify.exec} configuration file option.

@end itemize

@node Release 5_0_0
@section Release 5.0.0
@itemize

@item
@strong{Incompatible} configuration file format change: YAML is
replaced with Hjson, due to its simplicity, without noticeable lack
of either functionality or convenience.

@item
@strong{Incompatible} plain packet format changes. Older versions are
not supported. @code{zlib} compression is replaced with
@code{Zstandard}, due to its speed and efficiency, despite library
version is not mature enough.

@item
Ability to call remote nodes via pipe call of external command, not only
through TCP.

@item
@command{nncp-cfgnew} generates configuration file with many
comments. @option{-nocomments} option can be used for an old
behaviour.

@item
Duplicate filenames have @file{.CTR} suffix, instead of @file{CTR}, to
avoid possible collisions with @file{.nncp.chunkCTR}.

@item
Ability to override process umask through configuration file option.

@node Release 4_0
@section Release 4.0
@itemize

@item
@strong{Incompatible} encrypted and eblob packet format change: AEAD
encryption mode with 128 KiB blocks is used now, because previously
@command{nncp-toss} did not verify encrypted packet's MAC before feeding
decrypted data to external command. Older versions are not supported.

@item
Available free space checking before copying in @command{nncp-xfer},
@command{nncp-daemon}, @command{nncp-call(er)}.

@item
@command{nncp-daemon}, @command{nncp-call}, @command{nncp-caller} check
if @file{.seen} exists and treat it like file was already downloaded.
Possibly it was transferred out-of-bound and remote side needs to be
notifier about that.

@item
If higher priority packet is spooled, then @command{nncp-daemon} will
queue its sending first, interrupting lower priority transmissions.

@item
Simple packet rate limiter added to online-related tools
(@command{nncp-daemon}, @command{nncp-call}, @command{nncp-caller}).

@item
Ability to specify niceness with symbolic notation:
@verb{|NORMAL|}, @verb{|BULK+10|}, @verb{|PRIORITY-5|}, etc.

@item
Changed default niceness levels:
for @command{nncp-exec} from 64 to 96,
for @command{nncp-freq} from 64 to 160,
for @command{nncp-file} from 196 to 224.

@item
@strong{Incompatible} @emph{bundle} archive format changes and
@command{nncp-bundle} workability with Go 1.10+. Bundles must be
valid tar archives, but Go 1.9 made them invalid because of long paths
inside. NNCP accidentally was dependant on that bug. Explicit adding of
@file{NNCP/} directory in archive restores workability with valid tar
archives.

@item
Ability to override @option{via} configuration option for destination
node via @option{-via} command line option for following commands:
@command{nncp-file}, @command{nncp-freq}, @command{nncp-exec}.

@item
Chunked files, having size less than specified chunk size, will be sent
as an ordinary single file.

@item
Exec commands are invoked with additional @env{$NNCP_NICE} and
@env{$NNCP_SELF} environment variables.

@item
Files, that are sent as a reply to freq, have niceness level taken from
the freq packet. You can set desired niceness during @command{nncp-freq}
invocation using @option{-replynice} option.

@item
@command{nncp-toss} command can ignore specified packet types during
processing: @option{-nofile}, @option{-nofreq}, @option{-noexec},
@option{-notrns}.

@item
@command{nncp-file} command uses
@option{FreqMinSize}/@option{FreqChunked} configuration file options
for @option{-minsize}/@option{-chunked} by default. You can turn this

@item
@command{nncp-toss} is able to create @file{.seen} files preventing
