Hello,

A new experimental snapshot, `experimental-0.0.20160708`, 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. However, if you'd like to test this snapshot
out, there are a few relevent changes.

== Changes ==

  * Remove old development scripts and cruft from contrib/.
  * Reorganize contrib/examples. Distribution packagers are now encouraged to
    install contrib/examples to /usr/share/${pkg}/examples.
  * Make sure we add 4611686018427387914 to TAI64N second stamps, to be in spec.
  * Improve error reporting and detection in wg(8), ignoring extra input and
    generally being more helpful.
  * Enable always falling back to /dev/urandom when getrandom(2) fails.
  * Add synergy example script.
  * Use `pkg-config` for libmnl in tools Makefile if it exists. Otherwise we
    fallback to just specifying -lmnl statically.
  * Improve go test to send and receive ICMP ping packet through tunnel.
  * Add the new persistent keepalive mechanism, as discussed on the mailing
    list. This is available via `wg set wg0 peer ABCD persistent-keepalive 25`
    as well as `PersistentKeepalive = 25` in the `[Peer]` section of
    configuration files. This is off by default, as it's only useful for users
    behind NAT or stateful firewall that expect to receive external VPN
    connections while they are idle. This has been documented in the wg(8) man
    page as well as a small blurb on the quick start page of the website.

As always, the source is available at https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/ and
information about the project is available at https://www.wireguard.io/ .

If you're a snapshot package maintainer, please bump your package version. If
you're a user, the WireGuard team welcomes any and all feedback on this latest
snapshot.

Thank you,
