Dear BIRD users, we're releasing patch versions for all the supported branches. Downloads are possible at <https://bird.nic.cz/get-bird/> and in our upstream repositories. Apart from a bit of hardening, nothing is really security-relevant here. We have fixed a bunch of bugs. There are still more bugs to fix. The selection of what is fixed has no particular rule. Mostly, somebody in the team just picked up *something* and fixed it. We are fixing: - several bugs in BMP in BIRD 3 - interface handling with EVPN/Bridge and a BIRD 3 crash in MPLS reconfiguration - a bunch of corner cases in OSPF, RPKI, RAdv, and the common core If your bug report has been reported as fixed, we would love if you confirmed that from your side. If not, it will most probably get fixed in the next patch release. Officially supported versions are now: - 3.3.x and 2.19.x until 6 months after 3.4.0 and 2.20.0 get released - 3.2.x and 2.18.x until end of November 2026 - LTS 3.1.x and 2.17.x tracking Debian Trixie Also, on commercial note, we offer BIRD Support services, so that you can get help with configuration, priority access to critical bug information and fixes, and better influence the overall development directions. It's the users paying for these services, who keep the development running, so thank you to all who is already doing so! More on that at our website: <https://bird.nic.cz/commercial-services/> Happy routing! Maria and the BIRD Team -- Maria Matejka (she/her) | BIRD Team Leader | CZ.NIC, z.s.p.o.
