Hello,

A new experimental snapshot, `experimental-0.0.20160721`, 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. However, if you'd like to test this snapshot
out, there are a few relevent changes.

== Changes ==

  * tests: improve test suite and add qemu tester
    You can now run `make test` to do some nice functional testing of the
    module. As well, there's now src/tests/qemu.sh which builds and installs a
    mini userspace and kernel, boots it up in qemu, and runs the tests. This
    does not require root access, and provides a good way of testing for
    packagers. Note that I very much would like to see some patches cleaning up
    qemu.sh if anybody is interested.
  
  * Kconfig: select IP6_NF_IPTABLES if using IPV6
  * build system: revamp building and configuration
    This build system is much more robust, and we've gotten all the dependencies
    worked out. Check out wireguard.io/install/ and scroll to the bottom to see
    all the information about kernel dependencies.
  
  * tools: fix numbering in man page
  * tools: first additions of userspace integration
  * tools: support horrible freebsd/osx/unix semantics
  * tools: rename kernel to ipc
    The wg(8) tool now implements the neccessary protocol to work with new
    WireGuard userspace implementations! The extremely simple IPC protocol is
    documented here -- wireguard.io/xplatform/ -- and is essentially the same
    way in which wg(8) communicates with the kernel. This should be exceedingly
    simple to implement, and we fully expect for all userspace implementation
    efforts currently occurring to use this, so that wg(8) can administer any
    kind of implementation with the same interface. It also compiles on OS X now
    and there's a pull request for including this in Homebrew:
    https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/3183

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

you're a user, the WireGuard team welcomes any and all feedback on this latest
snapshot.

Thank you,
