I am pleased to announce NNCP 0.2 release availability!

NNCP (Node to Node copy) is a collection of utilities simplifying
secure store-and-forward files and mail exchanging.

This utilities are intended to help build up small size (dozens of
nodes) ad-hoc friend-to-friend (F2F) statically routed darknet networks
for fire-and-forget secure reliable files, file requests and Internet
mail transmission. All packets are integrity checked, end-to-end
encrypted (E2EE), explicitly authenticated by known participants public
keys. Onion encryption is applied to relayed packets. Each node acts
both as a client and server, can use push and poll behaviour model.

Out-of-box offline sneakernet/floppynet, dead drops and air-gapped
computers support. But online TCP daemon with full-duplex resumable data
transmission exists.

Thanks to Shawn K. Quinn for his feedback and Ubuntu building
instructions!

The main improvements for that release are:

* *Incompatible* packet's format change (magic number is changed too):
  size field is encrypted and is not send in plaintext anymore.
* -minsize option gives ability to automatically pad outgoing packets to
  specified minimal size.
* nncp-daemon and nncp-call/nncp-caller always check new tx packets
  appearance in the background while connected. Remote side is
  immediately notified.
* -onlinedeadline option gives ability to configure timeout of
  inactivity of online connection, when it could be disconnected. It
  could be used to keep connection alive for a long time.
* -maxonlinetime option gives ability to set maximal allowable online
  connection aliveness time.
* nncp-caller command appeared: cron-ed TCP daemon caller.
* nncp-pkt command can decompress the data.
