2026-01-23all: remove AUTHORS file and references to itWill Norris1-1/+1
This file was never truly necessary and has never actually been used in the history of Tailscale's open source releases. A Brief History of AUTHORS files --- The AUTHORS file was a pattern developed at Google, originally for Chromium, then adopted by Go and a bunch of other projects. The problem was that Chromium originally had a copyright line only recognizing Google as the copyright holder. Because Google (and most open source projects) do not require copyright assignemnt for contributions, each contributor maintains their copyright. Some large corporate contributors then tried to add their own name to the copyright line in the LICENSE file or in file headers. This quickly becomes unwieldy, and puts a tremendous burden on anyone building on top of Chromium, since the license requires that they keep all copyright lines intact. The compromise was to create an AUTHORS file that would list all of the copyright holders. The LICENSE file and source file headers would then include that list by reference, listing the copyright holder as "The Chromium Authors". This also become cumbersome to simply keep the file up to date with a high rate of new contributors. Plus it's not always obvious who the copyright holder is. Sometimes it is the individual making the contribution, but many times it may be their employer. There is no way for the proejct maintainer to know. Eventually, Google changed their policy to no longer recommend trying to keep the AUTHORS file up to date proactively, and instead to only add to it when requested: https://opensource.google/docs/releasing/authors. They are also clear that: > Adding contributors to the AUTHORS file is entirely within the > project's discretion and has no implications for copyright ownership. It was primarily added to appease a small number of large contributors that insisted that they be recognized as copyright holders (which was entirely their right to do). But it's not truly necessary, and not even the most accurate way of identifying contributors and/or copyright holders. In practice, we've never added anyone to our AUTHORS file. It only lists Tailscale, so it's not really serving any purpose. It also causes confusion because Tailscalars put the "Tailscale Inc & AUTHORS" header in other open source repos which don't actually have an AUTHORS file, so it's ambiguous what that means. Instead, we just acknowledge that the contributors to Tailscale (whoever they are) are copyright holders for their individual contributions. We also have the benefit of using the DCO (developercertificate.org) which provides some additional certification of their right to make the contribution. The source file changes were purely mechanical with: git ls-files | xargs sed -i -e 's/\(Tailscale Inc &\) AUTHORS/\1 contributors/g' Updates #cleanup Change-Id: Ia101a4a3005adb9118051b3416f5a64a4a45987d Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>
2025-11-14control/controlclient,ipn/ipnlocal: replace State enum with boolean flagsJames Tucker1-80/+10
Remove the State enum (StateNew, StateNotAuthenticated, etc.) from controlclient and replace it with two explicit boolean fields: - LoginFinished: indicates successful authentication - Synced: indicates we've received at least one netmap This makes the state more composable and easier to reason about, as multiple conditions can be true independently rather than being encoded in a single enum value. The State enum was originally intended as the state machine for the whole client, but that abstraction moved to ipn.Backend long ago. This change continues moving away from the legacy state machine by representing state as a combination of independent facts. Also adds test helpers in ipnlocal that check independent, observable facts (hasValidNetMap, needsLogin, etc.) rather than relying on derived state enums, making tests more robust.

2023-09-01all: implement AppendText alongside MarshalText (#9207)Joe Tsai1-0/+4
This eventually allows encoding packages that may respect the proposed encoding.TextAppender interface. The performance gains from this is between 10-30%. Updates tailscale/corp#14379 Signed-off-by: Joe Tsai <joetsai@digital-static.net>
2023-08-31ipn/ipnlocal,control/controlclient: make Logout more syncMaisem Ali1-6/+0
We already removed the async API, make it more sync and remove the FinishLogout state too. This also makes the callback be synchronous again as the previous attempt was trying to work around the logout callback resulting in a client shutdown getting blocked forever.

2023-01-27all: update copyright and license headersWill Norris1-3/+2
This updates all source files to use a new standard header for copyright and license declaration. Notably, copyright no longer includes a date, and we now use the standard SPDX-License-Identifier header. This commit was done almost entirely mechanically with perl, and then some minimal manual fixes. Updates #6865 Signed-off-by: Will Norris <will@tailscale.com>

2022-05-03control/controlclient: store netinfo and hostinfo separatelyMaisem Ali1-5/+2
Currently, when SetNetInfo is called it sets the value on hostinfo.NetInfo. However, when SetHostInfo is called it overwrites the hostinfo field which may mean it also clears out the NetInfo it had just received. This commit stores NetInfo separately and combines it into Hostinfo as needed so that control is always notified of the latest values. Also, remove unused copies of Hostinfo from ipn.Status and controlclient.Auto. Updates #tailscale/corp#4824 (maybe fixes) Signed-off-by: Maisem Ali <maisem@tailscale.com>

2021-05-31ipnlocal: don't assume NeedsLogin immediately after StartLogout().Avery Pennarun1-5/+7
Previously, there was no server round trip required to log out, so when you asked ipnlocal to Logout(), it could clear the netmap immediately and switch to NeedsLogin state. In v1.8, we added a true Logout operation. ipn.Logout() would trigger an async cc.StartLogout() and *also* immediately switch to NeedsLogin. Unfortunately, some frontends would see NeedsLogin and immediately trigger a new StartInteractiveLogin() operation, before the controlclient auth state machine actually acted on the Logout command, thus accidentally invalidating the entire logout operation, retaining the netmap, and violating the user's expectations. Instead, add a new LogoutFinished signal from controlclient (paralleling LoginFinished) and, upon starting a logout, don't update the ipn state machine until it's received.
