Jonathan Nobelsu 87a2289e7e ipn: add netmap mutations to the ipn bus
updates tailscale/tailscale#1909

This adds a new new NotifyWatchOpt that allows you to
receive PeerChange events (derived from node mutations)
on the IPN bus in lieu of a complete netmap.  We'll continue
to send the full netmap for any map response that includes it,
but for  mutations, sending PeerChange events gives the client
the option to manage it's own models more selectively and cuts
way down on json serialization overhead.

On chatty tailnets, this can vastly reduce the amount of
chatter on the bus.

This change should be backwards compatible, it is
purely additive.  Clients that subscribe to NotifyNetmap will
get the full netmap for every delta.  New clients can
omit that andinstead opt into NotifyPeerChanges.

Private WireGuard® networks made easy

Overview

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code. Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and to varying degrees on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.

Other Tailscale repos of note:

For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.

Using

We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.

Other clients

The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.

Building

We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.25. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)

go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}

If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:

./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled

If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.

Bugs

Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.

Contributing

PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.

We require Developer Certificate of Origin Signed-off-by lines in commits.

See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
