• Control Status Menu now sees new configurations as soon as you create them.
• Control Status Menu (DigiTunnel-Dialer) is now launched by your user Startup Items. This is turned on and off in DigiTunnel Preferences (as before), but also can be changed in System Preferences->Accounts. This works better for multiple users.

1.3.0 - November 10 '03

1.2.0 - October 23 '03 - Major release
• Removed bogus warning about unencrypted connection when successfully connected to Mac OS X Server VPN.

1.2b4 - October 8 '03
• Encryption key length is now a pop-up preference
• Setup Assistant now includes checkbox for Nortel/Watchguard VPN servers (equivalent to the choice in the new key length popup).
• Default mtu is now 700 for greater compatibility with most common situations.
• Cleaner uninstall (quits control/status application, deletes .iac folder which is difficult to empty from Trash).
• Installs runnable AppleScripts (resource forks).
• Size report removed from Installer due to big delay.
• Incorrect error message after successful unencrypted connection is now supressed.
• Improved error message for CHAP v1 authentication.

1.2b3 - August 7 '03

• Volume checking made more specific to try to avoid spurious "SMB mounted" warnings.
• Subnet mask setting moved to Routes tab where it belongs.
• FIFOs (inter-module communication) moved to hidden folder in Application Support/DigiTunnel where utilities won't mess with them.
• Fixed field tabbing in General tab.

• Better warnings (when needed, and not) about encryption status.
• Advanced dialog OK button de-coupled from return key.
• Force Disconnect command added to control/status menu.
• Fixed an infinite loop caused by a rare login failure condition. This appears as a slowdown of the Mac with "pptp-slave" using a large CPU %.
• Fixed the rare login failure condition (hang on certain "New Oak" authentication failures).

1.2b2 - Mar. 6 '03
• This adds the "resist-term" Advanced option to avoid unexpected termination of the starting phase of DigiTunnel connections.

1.2b1 - Mar. 3 '03
• Settings changes in OS X 10.2.3 or later now take effect without restart.
• New preference: "Header compression". Defaults to off (but pre-1.2 configurations use header compression until re-saved). Turning this on may reduce compatibility with non-Microsoft VPN servers. Header compression saves 2 bytes per packet. (Leaving this off uses the ppp option "nopcomp")
