Subject: Change AutoConnect from int to bool.
X-Git-Tag: release-1.1pre11~119
X-Git-Url: https://git.tinc-vpn.org/git/browse?a=commitdiff_plain;h=332b55d4720fadea76c0a5d9b9d484af6a724006;p=tinc

Change AutoConnect from int to bool.

The proper value is 3, not 2 or 4, and 5 is right out. So just hardcode this value,
and only have the option to turn AutoConnect on or off.
