Hi Bird users, a premature Christmas gift is here. We have a new version of your popular routing daemon. Since this version could potentially break some of you current installation and since it adds a new protocol - BFD, this version has number 1.4.0. The branch 1.4.0 is meant to be stable for production environment. Ondrej Version 1.4.0 (2013-11-25) o BFD protocol (RFC 5880). o BFD support for OSPF and BGP. o New 'allow local as' option for BGP. o Filters allows setting gw, ifname and ifindex. o Filter operator 'delete/filter' extended to bgp_paths. o Filter operator 'len' extended to [e]clists. o BIRD client now allows shorthands for noninteractive commands. o Flag -P for PID file support. o Flag -f added to force BIRD to run in foreground. o Protocol exp/imp/recv limits are checked during reconfiguration o Several bugfixes and minor improvements. o Several minor but incompatible changes: - IBGP is multihop by default. - Changes primary address selection on BSD to the first one. - Integers in filters are handled as unsigned. - ISO 8601 time formats used by default. - Import of device routes from kernel protocol allowed. - Last state change now tracks just protocol state change. - Minor changes to default router ID calculation.
