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
ZeroTier One creates flat virtual Ethernet networks of almost unlimited size. Visit ZeroTier Networks on the web for more information.
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 and the GitHub project to stay up to date.
See BUILDING.txt and RUNNING.txt for instructions. It currently runs 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 8056c2e21c000001'. 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.
