Dear BIRD users, we just released two new versions - 1.6.5 and 2.0.3. Many thanks mainly to Santiago and Maria! Version 1.6.5 o MRT table dumps (RFC 6396) o BGP Long-lived graceful restart o Filter: Make ifname attribute modifiable o Improved keeping track of IPv6 link-local addresses o Many bugfixes Version 2.0.3 (2019-01-05) o MRT table dumps (RFC 6396) o BGP Long-lived graceful restart o BGP: Optional import table (Adj-RIB-In) o BGP: Extend 'next hop keep' and 'next hop self' options o BGP: Improved VRF support o OSPF: Authentication trailer for OSPFv3 (RFC 7166) o Babel: New option to randomize router ID o Filter: Custom route attributes o Filter: Support for src accessor to SADR source prefix o Filter: Support for VPN_RD sets o Filter: Make ifname attribute modifiable o Perf: Protocol to measure BIRD performance internally o More verbose error messages in config processing o Log file size limit / log rotation o Many bugfixes Notes: Export of routes to RS EBGP (route server) sessions from other sources than RS EBGP sessions was changed that ASN is no longer prepended to BGP_PATH in that case. The change does not affect regular BGP configurations or regular route servers that have only RS EBGP peers. For BGP route servers and route reflectors, the default value of option 'next hop keep' was changed to a more appropriate value. Attributes for OSPF and Babel metrics are no longer reset when exported to these protocols and could be set anywhere in BIRD. As a result, OSPF metric is kept when a route is reannounced between OSPF instances. Also, when route is exported to OSPF with both ospf_metric1 and ospf_metric2 attributes it is now propagated as OSPF-E2 route instead of as OSPF-E1 route. Compiling BIRD with --enable-debug no longer automatically activates debug mode (-d option) nor local mode (-l option). Also, debug mode with output to file (-D option) no longer not forces foreground mode (-f option). The configure script now uses standard option --runstatedir, the old option --with-runtimedir is deprecated. Happy hacking in 2019! Ondrej
