Hello,

A new snapshot, `0.0.20161230`, 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 ==

  This is a fairly small release, and if you're a lazy package maintainer, you
  can skip it if you don't have the time. The primary improvement and motivation
  for making this snapshot is Android support.
  
  * tools: rename 'bandwidth' to 'transfer' in output
  
  Nice catch from Tomasz Torcz.
  
  * external-tests: update to latest
  
  The Go/Rust/Haskell examples have been updated.
  
  * cookie: optimize
  * blake2s: cleanup
  
  Some nice optimizations and cleanups to increase code quality.
  
  * wg-config: use ip rules instead of tungate
  
  Rather than launching a routing daemon, we just use ip-rule(8). This should be
  more straight-forward, and work on more systems, such as Android.
  
  * tools: syscall.h should actually be sys/syscall.h
  * compat: support 3.18, 3.19, 4.0
  
  These are big! We now support Android! That is to say, WireGuard runs on 3.18,
  which is the kernel Qualcomm picked for their Android chips. In case you
  missed it, here are some videos of it in action:
  
  https://data.zx2c4.com/android-real-phone-wireguard.mp4

  Of course that's just the kernel module, and we don't yet have fancy GUIs. But
  at some point these will come.

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,
