Hello,

A new snapshot, `0.0.20170706`, has been tagged in the git repository.

Please note that this snapshot is, like the rest of the project at this point
in time, experimental, and does not consitute a real release that would be
considered secure and bug-free. WireGuard is generally thought to be fairly
stable, and most likely will not crash your computer (though it may).
However, as this is a pre-release snapshot, it comes with no guarantees, and
its security is not yet to be depended on; it is not applicable for CVEs.

With all that said, if you'd like to test this snapshot out, there are a
few relevent changes.

== Changes ==

  * ratelimiter: use kvzalloc for hash table allocation
  * ratelimiter: use IPv6 /64 instead of /96
  * ratelimiter: add self-test
  
  These should make the rate-limiting a bit faster. We also switch to using
  a /64 instead of a /96 for IPv6, which seems to be what various RFCs
  recommend for this sort of thing.
  
  * receive: cleanup error handlers
  * gitignore: ignore split DWARF debug info
  * socket: the checkers distinguish between _bh and non _bh
  * counter: use correct unit for indices
  
  Various cleanups.
  
  * compat: support OpenSUSE's backports
  * compat: workaround Ubuntu 16.10 kernel weirdness
  * compat: priv_destructor got backported
  * device: cleanup register_netdev logic
  
  This is the main reason why this snapshot is being released a bit early.
  Kernel 4.11.9 came out, which backported some changes from 4.12, so
  we had to adjust the compat layer. This snapshot should now work with
  this recently released kernel (and all others >= 3.10) too. We also
  add support to a few more odd distro kernels.

As always, the source is available at https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/ and
