Here is the ChangeLog entry:

- retransmission rate limiting algoritm improved
- some minor bugfixes
Could someone contribute a manual page? 8-)
Best regards,
Mike

Dear Users,
For the last two days I was working on a VPN solution for stunnel.
The early alpha version is ready for download here:
ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/tunpipe/
Advantages:
- based on proven strength of SSL encryption (much better than IPSec or any proprietary encryption protocol),
- very clean and lightweight design,
- very easy to configure.
Disadvantages:
- only works on GNU/Linux (can be ported to some other Unixes),
- use of TCP is the main performance limitation.
Aternative solutions:

Suggestions and comments are welcome.
Best regards,
Mike
