gvpe-2.24 (the GNU Virtual Private Ethernet) has just been released. It is mainly a minor cleanup/bugfix release - the most noteworthy bugfix is fixing a longstanding bug where, after the right sequence of packet losses, one node failed to establish a connection to another node until the other node tried to communicate first.
This release also fixes a problem with the compression setting that caused compression to be enabled "almost always". On the feature side, you can now set an nfmark on outgoing packets, there is support for a node-change script, in addition to node-up and node-down, and DESTSI is available in all the scripts now. Gvpe has moved it's wbe presence to http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/gvpe.html, which also describes how to access the CVS repository and other resources.
