Hi Bird users, Santiago did a great job and we have new version 1.3.8. This release includes many improvements. BGP filters can propagate the best secondary route if the primary is rejected. This feature can simplify design of BGP route servers and can save a lot of memory. I will post some examples to wiki soon. Version 1.3.8 (2012-08-07) o Generalized import and export route limits. o RDNSS and DNSSL support for RAdv. o Include in config file support wildcards. o History deduplication in BIRD client. o New route attributes krt_source, krt_metric. o Different instance ID support for OSPFv3. o Real broadcast mode for OSPFv2. o Several minor bugfixes.

Nice! This feature alone pretty much is reason enough to upgrade all my instances :-)
Minor update: currently it only does eliminate repeating commands from the history. I personally wouldn't mind even more aggressive deduplication. Currently A A B B C C B B A becomes A B C B A; reducing it to C B A could have it benefits as well. When troubleshooting I tend to do a fair amount of alternating "sh os ne" and "sh os st" for instance. Getting back to commands prior to (for example) 10 alternations between those 2 is still the same with this new feature. Perhaps a build and/or commandline option could be added for this? Regards, Ruben

We could probably make that command-line option (how many last lines would be checked for deduplication). -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."

Sounds like a nice solution. Possibly combined with say ~/.birdc to store such "settings", or environment variables? Regards, Ruben
