Dear Douglas,<br>
<br>
that's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion. We will consider
promoting it in a more accessible way.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, you will find some relevant information in our
repository.<br>
<br>
Differences between v2 and v3:<br>

<br>
Changes for each v3 release list (including v3.1 also):<br>

<br>
These news items are also newly available on our new website:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bird.nic.cz/news/">https://bird.nic.cz/news/</a><br>
<br>
In general, all the v2 functionality should be included in v3, as we
continue to merge v2 changes and fixes into v3. If you notice
otherwise, please let us know, as it may be a bug.<br>
<br>
The difference between versions 3.0 and 3.1 is as follows: Bird 3.0
is the first official release of BIRD 3 and will include long-term
fixes, so updates will be released for v3.0.x. Versions 3.1 and any
future 3.x versions will include new features and functionality.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps. We will consider improving the presentation of
this information, so thank you for your input.<br>
<br>
P.S. Maria has just responded to this. I hope my information is
useful as well!<br>
<br>
Happy routing!<br>
Jana<br>

Thanks to everyone involved.
I'm still waiting for the funny stories about this refactoring from v2 to
v3...
And I have a suggestion!
A sort of comparison table of functionalities and features between the
versions.
I believe that I and perhaps some of the other colleagues here on the list,
who even though they are not directly involved in the project, have an idea
of what the differences are between v2 and v3. But there is still a lot we
don't know.
Something more on the side of "project promotion" than technical thing.
- Does it change syntax? Where? How much?
- SMP, of course.
- What else?
- Who should be using it?
Another question I have and may be shared by other colleagues:
What is the difference between v3.0 and v3.1? What are the plans for this
type of release?

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">Dear BIRD users,
we are releasing BIRD versions 3.1.1 and 3.0.3.
We have fixed BGP route refresh in both versions, and also several build
issues on FreeBSD, NetBSD, and CentOS 7. We added several table export
fixes to 3.1.1 which were already included in 3.0.2. We fixed several other
minor bugs and rare crashes as well.
Release tarballs are available on our website <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bird.nic.cz/get-bird">https://bird.nic.cz/get-bird</a>.
Debian and Ubuntu packages are available in our repository at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pkg.labs.nic.cz/doc?project=bird">https://pkg.labs.nic.cz/doc?project=bird</a>.
You may have noticed that the person tagging the version and sending this
e-mail has changed. There is also a change in the website URL. I’ll send a
full e-mail summarizing the organizational changes during the next week.
Happy routing! Maria, with Ondrej’s approval
