Hello,

A new snapshot, `0.0.20161209`, has been tagged in the git repository.

Please note that this snapshot is, like the rest of the project at this point
in time, experimental, and does not consitute a real release that would be
considered secure and bug-free. WireGuard is generally thought to be fairly
stable, and most likely will not crash your computer (though it may).
However, as this is a pre-release snapshot, it comes with no guarantees, and
its security is not yet to be depended on; it is not applicable for CVEs.

With all that said, if you'd like to test this snapshot out, there are a
few relevent changes.

== Changes ==

  ** Note To Packagers **
  
  The URL scheme for this package has changed, so please take note. Also, you
  might seriously consider switching to using the new `make dkms-install` target
  instead of whatever downstream solutions currently exist, if you're using
  dkms.
  
  
  * hashtable: use random number each time
  
  This reverts some hashtable changes from a while back.
  
  * tests: make sure ncat gets killed
  * tests: directly kill nmap
  * qemu: bump kernel version
  
  Now running `make test` cleans up some zombie ncat processes.
  
  * build system: add dkms installation
  
  This is a biggie for packagers. You can now run `make dkms-install` to install
  the source and dkms.conf file to an environment-variable specified location.
  Since the majority of downstreams are using dkms, providing it upstream makes
  sense.
  
  * data: reset tc when resetting skb
  
  Correctness fix.
  
  * device: clear all peer ephemeral keys on sleep
  * device: make suspend code conditional on CONFIG_PM_SLEEP
  
  WireGuard is now the only VPN software that will clear your ephemeral keys
  before the computer goes into sleep. This is a nice security feature for
  extreme cases.
  
  * timers: add random jitter to handshake retry
  * socket: clear src address when retrying handshake
  
  This increases the reliability of reconnections succeeding in the case of
  connection trouble.
  
  * device: cleaner error teardown
  * main: cleaner error teardown
  * device: traditional if is cleaner than switch for this small
  * compat: build dep errors belong here, since it's out of tree specific
  * cookie: kill redundant forward declaration
  
  Just code cleanups.
  
  * contrib: add wg-config
  
  This is a nice new example utility for adding a wireguard device and
  configuring its IPs and routes all in one go. It's extensively documented in
  its contrib directory and comes with a Makefile installer.

As always, the source is available at https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/ and

If you're a snapshot package maintainer, please bump your package version. If
you're a user, the WireGuard team welcomes any and all feedback on this latest
snapshot.

Thank you,
