I am pleased to announce secnet 0.3.1~beta3.  This is the 3rd beta of
secnet 0.3.1.

0.3.1 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~beta3 contains two portability fixes; one to an incompatibility
with some recent versions of GCC and one to a bug introduced in
0.3.1~beta1 affecting non-i386 builds.


0.3.1~beta3 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~beta3/

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 currently running 0.3.1~beta2.

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