 ## [Unreleased]

+
+### Security
+
+- Fix an issue where blocklist bypass is possible when using curve P256 since the signature can have 2 valid representations.
+  Both fingerprint representations will be tested against the blocklist.
+  Any newly issued P256 based certificates will have their signature clamped to the low-s form.
+  Nebula will assert the low-s signature form when validating certificates in a future version. [GHSA-69x3-g4r3-p962](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/security/advisories/GHSA-69x3-g4r3-p962)

+- Improve error reporting if nebula fails to start due to a tun device naming issue. (#1588)
+
+## [1.10.2] - 2026-01-21
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fix panic when using `use_system_route_table` that was introduced in v1.10.1. (#1580)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Fix some typos in comments. (#1582)
+- Dependency updates. (#1581)
+
+## [1.10.1] - 2026-01-16
+
+See the [v1.10.1](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/milestone/26?closed=1) milestone for a complete list of changes.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fix a bug where an unsafe route derived from the system route table could be lost on a config reload. (#1573)
+- Fix the PEM banner for ECDSA P256 public keys. (#1552)
+- Fix a regression on Windows from 1.9.x where nebula could fall back to a less performant UDP listener if 
+  non-critical ioctls failed. (#1568)
+- Fix a bug in handshake processing when a peer sends an unexpected public key. (#1566)
+
+### Added
+
+- Add a config option to control accepting `recv_error` packets which defaults to `always`. (#1569)
+
+### Changed

+
+See the [v1.10.0](https://github.com/slackhq/nebula/milestone/16?closed=1) milestone for a complete list of changes.
+
+### Added
+
+- Support for ipv6 and multiple ipv4/6 addresses in the overlay.
+  A new v2 ASN.1 based certificate format.
+  Certificates now have a unified interface for external implementations.
+  (#1212, #1216, #1345, #1359, #1381, #1419, #1464, #1466, #1451, #1476, #1467, #1481, #1399, #1488, #1492, #1495, #1468, #1521, #1535, #1538)

+- Add ECMP support for `unsafe_routes`. (#1332)
+- PKCS11 support for P256 keys when built with `pkcs11` tag (#1153, #1482)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **NOTE**: `default_local_cidr_any` now defaults to false, meaning that any firewall rule
   intended to target an `unsafe_routes` entry must explicitly declare it via the
   `local_cidr` field. This is almost always the intended behavior. This flag is

+- Fix a potential bug with udp ipv4 only on darwin. (#1532)
+- Improve lost packet statistics. (#1441, #1537)
+- Honor `remote_allow_list` in hole punch response. (#1186)
+- Fix a panic when `tun.use_system_route_table` is `true` and a route lacks a destination. (#1437) 
+- Fix an issue when `tun.use_system_route_table: true` could result in heavy CPU utilization when many thousands of routes
+  are present. (#1326) 
+- Fix tests for 32 bit machines. (#1394)
+- Fix a possible 32bit integer underflow in config handling. (#1353)
+- Fix moving a udp address from one vpn address to another in the `static_host_map`

+## [1.9.7] - 2025-10-10
+
+### Security
+
+- Fix an issue where Nebula could incorrectly accept and process a packet from an erroneous source IP when the sender's
+  certificate is configured with unsafe_routes (cert v1/v2) or multiple IPs (cert v2). (#1494)
