This works around a problem + with the DHCP client implementation using a stale MAC address after updating + the network interface's address. + o Update compilation to only produce 64 bit binaries, which is appropriate for + Mavericks and onwards. + o Modernize package generation to use pkgbuild and productbuild. + o Replace the startup items with launchd jobs. + o Code signatures for the kernel extensions as well as the installer, the + signed extensions now work on Mavericks and Yosemite. + o Add extra synchronization in tap.kext to avoid a kernel crash triggered by + quickly re-attaching an interface. + o Fix MTU enforcement calculation when writing to the character device. + +November 1, 2011: + o Make the netmask address family fix work without knowledge of the struct + ifaddr definition. This fixes a crash on Lion, where the layout of the + structure has been changed, but at the cost of the fix no longer working for + IPv6. I think this is OK though, since mDNSResponder has been fixed on + Leopard and beyond to no longer require the hack. + o Proper multicast address checking for tun; multicast should now work reliably + with IP and IPv6 on tun also. + o A quite comprehensive test suite has been added that allows for quick release + testing. + o PPC support has been dropped due to XCode 4 no longer supporting PPC arch. + +September 13, 2009: + o Change linker options to produce 64 bit kext bundle for Snow Leopard. + o Switch from kmem_alloc and friends to OSAlloc for memory allocation and + avoid the delay() call. Respective symbols are not available on 64 bit + kernels anymore. + +September 5, 2009: + o Initial Snow Leopard port. Thanks to various people contributing patches in + the bugtracker. The new official version can only be compiled on Snow + Leopard but has been tested to work on all Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard + o Clean up unused locking code and switch to rwlocks even for simple mutexes, + which avoids a symbol incompatibility for Tiger and Leopard. + o Clean up compilation flags in the Makefiles. + +July 4, 2008: + o Adapt the former Leopard package to also be installable on Tiger systems. + This obsoletes the Tiger version, both Leopard and Tiger are now supported + by a single package. + +June 7, 2008: + o Protect the selwakeup() call by the lock. This fixes incorrect select() + behaviour, thanks to Roland Wendelin for reporting this. + o Fix tuntap_mbuf_queue::size initialization + o Use a proper wait condition for synchronization when detaching the network + interface. The old code would crash if the if_detached() handler was called + from a different thread than unregister_interface(). + +January 21, 2008: + o Work around an issue in the Darwin kernel. When unregistering an interface, + addresses are not properly removed from the interface. This leads to + crashes and other problems when reusing the interface. Introduce an ugly + hack that tries to remove all interface addresses when shutting the + interface down. + o Fix a small mbuf leak that could occur when the output queue was full. + Thanks to Oleg Dolgov for reporting this. + +December 21, 2007: + o Fix paths in the startup item postflight scripts + o Check if_ioctl arguments more defensively after a report of a panic after + receiving a NULL arg. + +November 14, 2007: + o I have done a complete rework of the installer package generation. The + package is now edited in PackageMaker. The distribution package can still + be built from the commandline though. + o Fix incorrect permission & ownership of the installed files. + +Oktober 11, 2007: + o Fix the permissions of the postflight scripts. Installer packages should work + again. + o Drop the kmod and kmodc++ in the linker command, they seem to be unneeded + with Leopard. + +September 20, 2007: + o Initial Leopard port, it's basically the latest Tiger version with some + Leopard-related fixes and s/Tiger/Leopard/g + o I have switched to a proper version management system (git) and could + remove some of the CVS hacks subsequently. + o The installation packages have been reworked a bit, they now install into + /System/Extensions and /System/StartupItems directly by using + DestinationPaths. + +May 13, 2006: + o This version is not stable, it may crash, sorry. + o Universal binaries that run on ppc and intel macs. + o Adds tap MAC address randomization + o Redesigned locking. + o Better multicast support + o mDNSResponder workaround, so that the tap interfaces should get picked up + now. Note that we are fixing ifconfig/kernel behaviour here. + o All tapX and tunX devices are visible in /dev at all times, network + interfaces still created dynamically, though. + o Startup items moved to /Library/StartupItems + +May 17, 2005: + o Initial Tiger port. We now have KPI-style interfaces. I guess the Tiger + version is little slower than the Panther version because of all the + wrapping and hiding in the kernel. + o The kernel extensions moved to /Library/Extensions. That is the place where + non-Apple kexts are supposed to live. + +April 21, 2005: + o I added support in tun for AF prepending like some BSDs do. Thanks to Dennis + kSchneider for mailing the initial patch. You can also set the value of + AF_INET6 to be used. + o I finally found that major bug causing crashes (especially on multiprocessor + machines). It also caused a memory leak (lost mbufs), and might have caused + performance/througput/data-loss problems. Everyone is recommended to upgrade. + +April 6, 2005: + o I rewrote the common part concerning the tun and tap initialization and + cleanup. This should make the code more maintainable (less duplication). + o The devices now reinitialize to the state they were started in when they + are closed by an application. This concerns IP addresses for example. + o I changed the package building system to use PackageMaker.app in batch + mode. The packages also check for version 10.3 now, so nobody should be + able to install tun/tap on 10.2 using installer packages. Furthermore I + have sprinkled some warnings telling you not to use tun/tap on SMP machines + over the installation process ;-) + o Some minor locking fixes. + +November 19, 2004: + o Jamie Wood reported that the packet queue in the driver could be considered + empty even if there were packets in it. This was probably caused by a + synchronization problem that should be fixed now. People encountering + timeouts etc. should try the new version. + o I finally implemented support for changing the interface MTU. The driver + enforces the MTU when writing packets to the character device now. However, + packets coming from the kernel are not checked. + +September 9, 2004: + o Marcello Teodori told me that the tun driver wasn't working with openvpn. + The problem was the fcntl call, fixed that. Should work now. Thanks + Marcello! + o changed the tun driver not to prepend the address family field before each + and every packet (which is the behaviour of OpenBSD). As there is currently + only IPv4 and IPv6 support there is no problem with the standard tun + approach used on other OSes. This should make the driver much more + compatible. + o Did a script and makefile support so that the installer packages can now be + built from the command prompt. Unfortunately this might break things + someday as I am not using the 'official' way to build the packages + o Cleaned up installer packages a little. + +August 24, 2004: + o initial version put online + o basic tun/tap support, tap working with qemu + |
