Docker based build system is functional again. Updated binaries for Ubuntu Xenial and Trusty are available under Download.

hipl.hiit.fi has moved to "http://mkomu.kapsi.fi/hipl/index.php" because the old server will be soon decomissioned.

Christof Mroz contributed a bug fix to draft-heer-hip-middle-auth-03

Miika Komu contributed support for cross building HIPL using docker instances. Currently, only Ubuntu target is supported but Fedora is in the works.

Juhani Toivonen contributed a performance bug fix to the LSI implementation (runs twice as fast).

Juhani Toivonen finished porting of the hipfw module to support Android. This means that LSIs and also the firewall functionality can be used in Android.

A bug fix to the experimental Android port.

HIP for Linux is now utilized in a testbed cloud deployment that is used for analyzing CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) data from CERN. The HIP protocol provides secure connectivity and connection management capabilities for the OpenStack based cloud.
Thanks to Salman Toor, Juhani Toivonen and Lirim Osmani. The work has been carried out in the Academy of Finland DII-HEP project led by professors Paula Eerola and Sasu Tarkoma.
DII-HEP (CMS) cluster is running HIP at http://www.nordugrid.org/monitor/

Basic support for Android is now included in the source code. See the INSTALL and manual for further instructions.

Juhani Toivonen contributed fixes to switch from ipq to netfilter queue (required by latest kernels) and Paul Tötterman has contributed multiple bug fixes to the DNS proxy. Binaries are updated!

Fedora, Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian images are up-to-date!

CentOS 6.3 images available.

New binaries are available. Updates include partial support for HIPv2, librarized HIP support and bug fixes to the NAT relay support.

HIPL release 1.0.7 is ready for download from http://mkomu.kapsi.fi/hipl/hipl/release/1.0.7/. The release is essentially a snapshot from the trunk. Compared to the earlier release, code quality has been improved a lot mostly thanks to the contributions from the folks at Aachen. The release consists of prebuilt binaries for a number Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS).

Revision 6157 introduces a backwards incompatible change regarding to unifying of configuration file names. Here's a simple migration guide:

cd /etc/hip # or /usr/local/etc/hip (depending on your installation)
mv firewall_conf hipfw.conf
mv hip_cert.cnf hip_cert.conf
mv hipd_config hipd.conf
mv relay_config relay.conf

Binaries for Debian Squeeze are now available.

HIPL release 1.0.6 is ready for download from http://mkomu.kapsi.fi/hipl/hipl/release/1.0.6/. The release is essentially a snapshot from the trunk. Compared to the earlier release, code quality, testing and stability has been improved a lot mostly thanks to the contributions from the folks at Aachen. The release consists of prebuilt binaries for a number Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Maemo, OpenWRT).

Packages for Ubuntu Oneiric are available.

Freelists mailing list archive for developers is public now.

I haven't had much time to inform about things on this mailing list, sorry about that. The HIPL code is still very much alive thanks to the folks in Aachen. If you want to hear more what is happening at the development side, you can subscribe to the hipl-dev mailing list as it is now open for everyone. Beware that the list has high volume traffic. I recommend digest mode subscription for passive listeners. -Miika

New binaries (1.0.6-4932) available from the repositories. CentOS binaries currently not available.

HIPL code and bugzilla have been migrated to launchpad. See updated download instructions for the source code.

HIPL release 1.0.5 is out. The release includes source code and binaries for various linux distributions. The release can be accessed also using the bzr version control:

bzr checkout bzr+ssh://hipl.hiit.fi/var/archive/hipl-bzr/branches/release-1.0.5

The release is basically a snapshot of the current HIPL development head with some features missing from head still included (see release notes for details). We encourage you to stick on the current development head (1.0.6-xx version of the binaries or trunk in the version control) to get bug fixes to the source code.

Thanks for all of the individuals at Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki Institute for Information of Technology and especially Distributed Systems Group of RWTH Aachen University for the their contributions on HIPL software. Thanks also for Andrei Gurtov and Robert Moskowitz on their help in testing HIPL.

HIPL project has transitioned from tla to bazaar (bzr). The tla/arch archive is obsoleted and will not be maintained anymore.

We recommend running bzr 2.0.2 or higher to get the performance benefits.

Fedora 12 seems to have up-to-date bzr already. If you are running an older Fedora, please upgrade now.

Ubuntu karmic users, please install bzr from the launchpad e.g. as follows:

• To avoid gpg nagging, please run:
• gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys D702BF6B8C6C1EFD
• gpg armor export D702BF6B8C6C1EFD | sudo apt-key add -
• and finally:
• add to /etc/apt/sources.list:
• deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/bzr/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
• aptitude update
• aptitude install bzr

Other distros should have bzr binaries as well or you can install the latest version from the sources: http://bazaar.canonical.com/

Bootstrapping instructions with the version control are here: http://mkomu.kapsi.fi/hipl/index.php?index=download

P.S. Web-based version control browser is work in progress...
