I am pleased to announce secnet 0.3.1~beta1.  This is the first beta
of secnet 0.3.1.  It contains bugfixes, including some security fixes
to vulnerabilities which are exposed to internal vpn traffic.

It also has a new feature intended to help with underlying network
with broken handling of large packets.

0.3.1~beta1 can be found here:

 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git/secnet.git/
 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~secnet/release/0.3.1~beta1/

If you are able to do so conveniently, please test it.  It should be
backwards-compatibile with previous versions.  For those on the SGO
VPN: chiark is already running this version.

For a summary of the changes see the changelog extracts below.  For
full details see the git history.
