BIRD 3.0alpha2

Dear BIRD Users, we are releasing another alpha version of BIRD 3. We've found some annoying bugs and fixed some usability issues as well as several issues with BIRD crashing. We also added a simple work balancing algorithm between threads. MRT is still switched off, BMP is not merged; they will get into some future alpha version. Measured performance in BGP is approx. 6-10x better (with 20 threads) than version 2.13, depending on the actual configuration. Kernel synchronization is slow with a large number of routes; we will look into it soon. If you have some time for trying this version out, we would love to hear your feedback. I thank my colleagues and namely Maria for this release! Cheers Ondrej
