[Openhip-users] openhip 0.7_RC1 released

[Jeff A. <sil...@us...>]

Today we've posted a release candidate for an upcoming openhip-0.7 release here:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/openhip/files/hip/hip-0.7_RC1/>

We'd appreciate any feedback prior to Wed. Oct 7, when we plan to post
the openhip 0.7 release.
The big changes are:
 - HIP now operates over UDP by default, allowing you to initiate
connections from behind a NAT
 - mobility handovers between IPv4 and IPv6 now possible in the mobile
router mode

Here is a list of changes with greater detail:
 - cleanup of the NAT code and implementation of the nat-08 draft for
HIP/ESP over UDP that shares the same port 50500; removed all STUN
code and options, now uses UDP by default for IPv4
 - cleanup command-line options
 - rewrite and cleanup of registration and rendezvous code in support
of RFC 5203 and RFC 5204
 - update to mobile router code to allow address family handovers when
changing the MR's public address; cleanup of mobile router code,
globals changed to static locals; support IPv4 in mobile router
 - update to --enable-sma-crawler=(config) option, files-based
configuration library; now uses OpenSSL engine interface, removing
OpenSC dependencies
 - restructure the HIP configuration library code to put common code
in a base class
 - tested on Windows Vista, XP, Fedora 11, Ubuntu 9.04, CentOS 5.3, Mac OS X

So it works on Vista now, cool!

Btw, is the Boeing server running? It replies to pings but not HTTP for
me. It would be good to test this prerelease against some test server...

yes, see the note on the wiki about running hip as administrator; I
didn't have any problems once I ran hip.exe as administrator, except
that Vista blocks pings by default (use file sharing, ssh, or
something else to test)

thanks for the tip... somehow the test server went down and needed a
reboot, should be back now...

Thanks, Jeff.

Now I was able to make HTTP connection to Boeing testserver from XP and
Vista using LSI. Unfortunately DNS.hip doesn't seem to work at all-
there is unknown host message displayed.

I wasn't able to connect to crossroads or woodstock4 using LSI nor DNS.

the DNS thread is now turned off by default in the hip.conf, if you
change your hip.conf line:
  <disable_dns_thread>no</disable_dns_thread>
does that work?

the rationale for the new default-off behavior is to not subject a new
user's machine to a performance hit by just running hip (all DNS
requests go through hip's proxy DNS)

I'll have to do some interop tests. Maybe we should have the test
servers automatically connecting to each other and providing some
status report when the connection breaks (of course many things could
go wrong with the server, ISP, code, etc).

Yes, thanks. Although I'm not sure disabling DNS thread is a good thing,
many users don't know how to edit config files...
In any case, you may want to add http://LSI:8000 to the testserver page,
otherwise users would not be able to connect to it without knowing what
is LSI and where to find it.

Previously I didn't notice much overhead of having it on while running
openhip on my laptop.

I think that's quite important and I requested Miika already to write an
automated testsuite for HIPL so that we can test interoperability daily
(of base exchange, mobility update, NAT mode, etc).

We're postponing this 0.7 release so we can address interop issues and
a shutdown issue.
