Dear BIRD users and friends, BIRD 2 has been here since 2017. The joint daemon of IPv6 and legacy IP quickly become stable and its last version is 2.13 just couple days old. Last version of BIRD 1 was 1.6.8 released in September 2019. We have already declared that we wouldn't release any other version of legacy BIRD 1 unless a serious security bug is found. It's time to say that BIRD 1 is reaching its end of life at the end of the year 2023. Please upgrade to BIRD 2 if you're still running BIRD 1. If you are waiting for BIRD 3, you can stay assured that upgrade from BIRD 2 to BIRD 3 will be smooth. Thank you for your ongoing support and understanding Ondrej & BIRD team
Hey Ondrej, thanks a lot for creating and maintain bird. I see cutting off bird 1 as a good step into the future. Best regards from London airport, Nico Ondrej Filip <feela@network.cz> writes:

I Fell the same in here... Thank you all for your effort! And thank you also for cutting Bird 1. It will consolidate to Bird users where should be the focus.

Hello Ondrej, I'm still running Bird 1.6.8, because then I have at least 2 threads instead of 1 thread in Bird 2. My plan was to go straight from Bird 1.6 to Bird 3.0 when it is released. Is there any chance that Bird 3.0 will be released before the end of this year? Or do I need to update my plans and really start the migration to Bird 2 in the mean time?

For the guys who master the Multi-Bird concept... It would be nice if there was a public Multi-Bird deployment guide. It would be an incentive for other colleagues to abandon the legacy version. If I can help with this guide, I make myself available. Em ter., 25 de abr. de 2023 às 08:32, Cybertinus <bird@cybertinus.nl> escreveu:
