= lokinet v0.9.9 (gluten free edition)

Service node only release for hf 19,
this release is manditory for all service nodes.

= service node changes

* bind section no longer allows 0.0.0.0 for inbound links, use your interface name and set public-ip and public-port in router section, boxes with multiple public addresses on one interface required this change be done.
  if 0.0.0.0 is used and lokinet can infer a public ip, it will be used, otherwise it will error and need to be reconfigured with the proper entries in router section.
* bugfix in link layer state machine that should fix inbound sessions becoming in a permanently stuck state
* systemd status line reports more useful info like block hieght and gossip times.
* bugfixes regarding gossping and decommissions related to lokinet reachability
* idempotent queue flushing, all path builds and transit traffic should be butter smooth as a result.

= client side (non service node) changes

== windows

windows now has a new gui, dns leaks but ipv6 leak should be plugged.
expect remaining fixes in 0.9.10 tag

== config options

network section

* exit-node / exit-auth now allow multiple entries , exit nodes will be striped randomly for each range they are mapped to
* autorouting , turn route poker on and off
* blackhole-routes , turn off route poker's ipv4 / ipv6 route blackholing. useful for omitting non routable ranges like 200::/7 and fc00::/7 from route poker
* auth-file / auth-file-type , enable endpoint auth using hashed or plaintext passwords (hashed by default)
* auth-static , add static plaintext auth codes via config entry

dns section

* uptream will now default to 9.9.9.10

== cli

* removed -b flag, it did not do anything anyways.
* removed -v / --verbose flag, use config option in logging section, level = debug

== docs

* generate internal docs with doxygen
* remove outdated content, replace with placeholders

== build system

* new helper script: contrib/cross.sh for cross compiling from linux.
* macos build process redone in full, still not done yet.

=== new cmake options

* -DBUILD_DAEMON for toggling building of lokinet daemon, used only on apple platforms.
* -DWITH_BOOTSTRAP for toggling building of lokinet-bootstrap tool

== internals

* use oxenc for serializion insted of oxenmq
* split up cpack nsis commands into external files
* split up android build process into configure and build to fully parallize builds.
