on GitHub

This is the first release candidate of the new v2.0 Inadyn. The most prominent changes are the new configuration file format and changed command line options.

Changes

• New configuration file format using libConfuse

• Radically simplified command line, a .conf file is now required

• Support for reading address from interface, including IPv6 addresses

• Support for calling an external script to get the IP address.

• Support for multiple users @ same provider, idea from Valery Frolov:

  provider default@no-ip.com:1 {
      username    = ian
      password    = secret
      alias       = flemming.no-ip.com
  }
  
  provider default@no-ip.com:2 {
      username    = james
      password    = bond
      alias       = spectre.no-ip.com
  }
  

• Support for ddnss.de and dynv6.com, contributed by Sven Hoefer

• Support for spdyn.de, on request from Frank Röhm

• Reorganized SSL code, split ssl.c into openssl.c and gnutls.c

• Strict HTTPS certificate validation is now default. To disable this use strict-ssl = false in the .conf file.

• Massive overhaul of inadyn(8) and inadyn.conf(5) man pages

• Refactored memory handling and privilige separation to simplify code

• Refactored logging and backgrounding to simplify code

• Removed old compatibility symlinks and other required GNU specific
  files, we now distribute and install README.md and ChangeLog.md
