1* Version 0.1
2
3          Initial version of natd.
4
5* Version 0.2
6
7          - Alias address can now be set by giving interface name with
8            new (-n) command-line option.
9
10          - New Makefile based on bsd.prog.mk.
11
12          - Error messages are written to syslog
13            after natd has become a daemon.
14
15* Version 1.0
16
17          - Support for using only single socket (-p option)
18
19* Version 1.1
20
21          - -a option now understands a hostname also.
22          - -a option no longer dumps core.
23          - Packet aliasing software upgraded to v. 1.9
24          - added long option names (like -address)
25
26* Version 1.2
27
28          - Fixed core dump with -port option.
29          - Added -Wall to CFLAGS and some headers added to natd.c
30            to get clean compile by Brian Somers [brian@awfulhak.org].
31
32* Version 1.3
33
34          - Aliasing address initialization is delayed until first
35            packet arrives. This allows natd to start up before
36            interface address is set.
37          - SIGTERM is now catched to allow kernel to close
38            existing connections when system is shutting down.
39          - SIGHUP is now catched to allow natd to refresh aliasing
40            address from interface, which might be useful to tun devices.
41
42* Version 1.4
43
44          - Changed command line options to be compatible with
45            command names used in ppp+packetAlias package (which is the
46            original application using aliasing routines).
47
48            The options which map directly to packet aliasing options are:
49
50                    -unregistered_only [yes|no]
51                    -log [yes|no]
52                    -deny_incoming [yes|no]
53                    -use_sockets [yes|no]
54                    -same_ports [yes|no]
55
56            The short option names are the same as in previous
57            releases.
58
59          - Command line parser rewritten to provide more flexible
60            way to support new packet aliasing options.
61
62          - Support for natd.cf configuration file has been added.
63
64          - SIGHUP no longer causes problems when running without
65            interface name option.
66
67          - When using -interface command line option, routing socket
68            is optionally listened for interface address changes. This
69            mode is activated by -dynamic option.
70
71          - Directory tree reorganized, alias package is now a library.
72
73          - Manual page written by Brian Somers <brian@awfulhak.org> added.
74          - README file updated.
75
76* Version 1.5
77
78          - Support for sending ICMP 'need fragmentation' messages
79            when packet size exceeds mtu size of outgoing network interface.
80
81          - ipfw rule example in manual page fixed.
82
83* Version 1.6
84
85          - Upgrade to new packet aliasing engine (2.1)
86          - redirect_port and redirect_address configuration
87            parameters added.
88          - It is no longer necessary to quote complex parameter values
89            in command line.
90          - Manual page fixed (same_port -> same_ports).
91
92* Version 1.7
93
94          - A bug in command-line parsing fixed (it appeared due
95            to changes made in 1.6).
96
97* Version 1.8
98
99          - Fixed problems with -dynamic option.
100          - Added /var/run/natd.pid
101
102* Version 1.9
103
104          - Changes to manual page by
105            Brian Somers <brian@awfulhak.org> integrated.
106          - Checksum for incoming packets is always recalculated
107            for FreeBSD 2.2 and never recalculated for newer
108            versions. This should fix the problem with wrong
109            checksum of fragmented packets.
110          - Buffer space problem found by Sergio Lenzi <lenzi@bsi.com.br>
111            fixed. Natd now waits with select(2) for buffer space
112            to become available if write fails.
113          - Packet aliasing library upgraded to 2.2.
114
115* Version 1.10
116
117          - Ignored incoming packets are now dropped when
118            deny_incoming option is set to yes.
119          - Packet aliasing library upgraded to 2.4.
120
121* Version 1.11
122
123          - Code cleanup work done in FreeBSD-current development merged.
124          - Port numbers are now unsigned as they should always have been.
125
126* Version 1.12
127
128          - Typos in comment fixed. Copyright message added to
129            source & header files that were missing it.
130          - A small patch to libalias to make static NAT work correctly.
131
132* Version 2.0
133
134          - Upgrade to libalias 3.0 which gives:
135          - Transparent proxy support.
136          - permanent_link is now obsolete, use redirect_port instead.
137          - Drop support for early FreeBSD 2.2 versions
138          - If separate input & output sockets are being used
139            use them to find out packet direction instead of
140            normal mechanism. This can be handy in complex environments
141            with multiple interfaces.
142          - libalias is no longer part of this distribution.
143          - New sample configuration file
144          from Ted Mittelstaedt <tedm@portsoft.com>.
145          - PPTP redirect support by Dru Nelson <dnelson@redwoodsoft.com> added.
146          - Logging enhancements from Martin Machacek <mm@i.cz> added.
