Dears BIRD users, Roughly after a year, I have got fantastic news for you, we just release a news version 2.0.9. I have to thank my great colleagues! Here is the list of the main features: Version 2.0.9 o BGP: Flowspec validation procedure o Babel: MAC authentication support o Routing table configuration blocks o Optional prefix trie in routing table for faster LPM/interval queries o CLI: New 'show route in <prefix>' command o Filter: Faster (16-way) prefix sets o Filter: MPLS label route attribute o Filter: Operators to pick community components o Filter: Operators to find minimum and maximum element of lists o BGP: New 'free bind' option o BGP: Log route updates that were changed to withdraws o BGP: Improved 'invalid next hop' error reporting o OSPF: Allow ifaces with host address as unnumbered PtP or PtMP ifaces o OSPF: All packets on PtP networks should be sent to AllSPFRouters address o Scripts for apkg-powered upstream packaging for deb and rpm o Support for Blake2s and Blake2b hash functions o Security keys / passwords can be entered in hexadecimal digits o Memory statistics split into Effective and Overhead o Linux: New option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket buffer size o BSD: Assume onlink flag on ifaces with only host addresses o Many bugfixes Notes: For OSPF on PtP network, BIRD now sends all packets to multicast AllSPFRouters address (as required in RFC 2328 8.1). This likely breaks setups with multiple neighbors on a network configured as PtP, which worked in previous versions. Such links should be configured as PtMP. Since Linux 5.3, netlink socket can be flooded by route cache entries during route table scan. This version mitigates that issue by using strict netlink filtering.
Thanks for all your hard work! When can we expect to see packages built? I've been using the OBS repository, but the packages there are still 2.0.8: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:CZ-NIC:bird-latest/bird On Sun, Feb 20, 2022 at 8:56 AM Ondrej Filip <feela@network.cz> wrote:

Hi I do not know about OBS repository, but note that our Gitlab CI builds packages for many distributions, they can be downloaded as 'artifacts' in three-dots menu here: https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/pipelines Or here just for tagged branches (releases): https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/pipelines?scope=tags -- 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."
Looks like this failed to build on Debian on arm64. https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=bird2&arch=arm64&ver=2.0.9-3&...

Yes, but the reason is this: obj/lib/bitmap_test: t_hmap_set_clear_fill: Timeout expired obj/lib/bitmap_test: t_hmap_set_clear_fill 5.023173111s [FAIL] obj/lib/bitmap_test 6.241085926s [FAIL] I have failed to reproduce this, yet I'd suppose this is just a build test timeout due to a too short timeout setting. We should probably raise this value to a minute or so for autobuilds. It finishes well on local development machines, yet most probably build virtuals aren't so powerful.

This is just a harmless random error in progdoc generator which is generally forgotten to be maintained at all. (We should check and fix it some day.) Anyway, thank you for your report. Maria
