4
87bb9a1b
VB
5lldpd (0.9.1)
6 * Change:
7 + Rework packaging for OS X to make it work with El Capitan. To
8 simplify a bit, it is not possible anymore to build fat
9 binaries. Latest version of OS X supporting 32bit was 10.6.
a403df66
VB
10 * Fix:
11 + By default, when using port alias as description, use port name
12 as port ID.
652d72dd 13 + Miscellaneous fixes with netlink cache.
522acf33 14 + Ensure large netlink messages can be received.
87bb9a1b 15

VB
16lldpd (0.9.0)
17 * Change:
b5a71b24
VB
18 + Don't rely on libnl3 for netlink. Reuse the previous code and
19 implement a lighweight cache.
0fa2254b 20
59b4cc6d 21lldpd (0.8.0, never released)
8ef5bced
VB
22 * Fix:
23 + Fix a buffer overflow when receiving a too large management
24 address TLV. Unless hardening has been disabled, this overflow
25 cannot be used for arbitrary code execution.
c56e4067
VB
26 + Update LLDP-MED policy L2 priority values to match
27 802.1Q-2005. This may be a breaking change.
13181ede 28 * Change:
a8add742
VB
29 + PIE is now disabled by default. It's too difficult to reliably
30 detect if it works. Use --enable-pie to enable it.
d535fe05 31 + Retrieve the permanent MAC address of an interface through
1a3ec373 32 ethtool for Linux if /proc/net/bonding is not available.
9856f279
VB
33 + Running lldpd with "-d" will keep the process in foreground but
34 logs will still go to syslog. To log to the console, add at
35 least one "-d".
aedb840f
VB
36 + Fix minimal kernel version to 2.6.39. Add a runtime warning when
37 this is not the case.
31c9173a 38 + Remove old bridge code (the one using ioctl).
36080cdc
VB
39 + Don't discard down interfaces. Notably, this enables us to keep
40 their specific configuration if any.
13181ede
VB
41 + For Linux, switch to libnl3. Be aware of the licensing issues in
42 case of static linking.
9da663f7
VB
43 + Introduce the notion of default local port. New interfaces will
44 use it as a base. This allows setting various MED stuff.
cd7ee899 45 + Provide an apparmor profile (untested).
13181ede 46
b52ec8a0
VB
47lldpd (0.7.17)
48 * Fix:
49 + Fix an infinite loop when using veth on Linux 4.1+ kernels.
50 + Make CDP advertise the appropriate kernel name as platform,
51 not just "Linux".
52 * Change:
53 + Fix the way libevent configure is called.
54
45eec1ff 55lldpd (0.7.16)
16eacc5b
VB
56 * Change:
57 + For Linux, 2.6.32 is now the minimal required kernel. When using
58 an older kernel, use `--enable-oldies`.
59 + For Linux, use netlink to retrieve information about bridges,
60 VLAN and bonds. The code was contributed by Cumulus Networks.
88301db1 61 * Features:
45eec1ff 62 + Use symbol versioning for liblldpctl.so.
88301db1
VB
63 + Ability to get local chassis information with "show
64 chassis".
65 + The library also has the same ability with the
66 `lldpctl_get_local_chassis()` function. It is also possible to
67 get a chassis atom from a port with `lldpctl_k_port_chassis`
68 key. This is now the preferred way to retrieve chassis related
69 information.
d8367e17
VB
70 * Fix:
71 + Fix build on OS X.
451b0c3c 72 + Accept "language" when configuring MED location as a civic address.
d8367e17 73

VB
74lldpd (0.7.15)
75 * Features:
76 + Optional features can be configured with "auto" to autodetect if
dd8c9fe3 77 they are usable. This is the default value for JSON and XML support.
d0e76b5f
VB
78 + Ability to send and decode custom/unknown TLV. Thanks to Alexandru
79 Ardelean.
63e52965
VB
80 * Change:
81 + Modify checksum function. While this should be strictly
82 equivalent, if you notice CDP packets not accepted anymore, this
83 change is the first culprit.
fa9b12c5 84
efdd6718
VB
85lldpd (0.7.14)
86 * Features:
87 + Shutdown LLPDU are sent on MSAP change and when lldpd exits.

VB
90 + Ability to set port ID and description to an arbitrary value,
91 thanks to Alexandru Ardelean.
ac07e7e4
VB
92 * Fix:
93 + Incorrect boundary check when decoding management address and
94 protocol identity may lead to lldpd crash when processing
95 malformed LLDPDU.
5683586e
VB
96 + Many edge cases where lldpd was leaving hanging processes after
97 crashing.
efdd6718 98

22a53755
VB
110 + Correctly persist configuration changes for "system interface
111 promiscuous", "system interface description" "med fast-start
112 enable", "pause" and "resume".
148a1efe 113 + Fix listening on bond devices for old kernels (< 2.6.27).
6d2c29c7 114
9bc3d50e
VB
115lldpd (0.7.11)
116 * Features:
117 + Ship bash and zsh completion.

f84199dd 132
5133ce2f
VB
133lldpd (0.7.9)
134 * Changes:
135 + Default location for chroot, socket and PID are now configurable
136 in `./configure`. The default location is based on the value of
137 `runstatedir` which in turn may be based on the value of
138 `localstatedir` which defaults to `/usr/local/var`. Therefore,
139 to get the previous locations, lldpd should be configured with
140 `./configure --localstatedir=/var`.
d5f8351c 141 * Fixes:
0e29d794
VB
142 + Fix `configure system bond-slave-src-mac-type local`. Also use
143 it as default.
5a215d4b 144 * Features:
a85eea84 145 + Add support for shutdown LLDPU.
622d14bb 146 + Ability to configure IP management pattern from lldpcli.
e82818d1 147 + Ability to choose what port ID should be (MAC or interface name).
5133ce2f 148
12313820
VB
149lldpd (0.7.8)
150 * Fixes:
151 + Don't hard-code default values for system name, system
152 description and port description. When the field is not present,
153 just don't display it.
fe8f9650 154 + Fix lldpcli behaviour when suid.
724d71ea
VB
155 + On OSX, don't use p2p0 interfaces: it would break WLAN.
156 + Fix SNMP support on RHEL.
8b0ca98e
VB
157 * Features:
158 + Android support
71a7dbb3
VB
159 + Add the possibility to disable privilege separation (lower
160 memory consumption, lower security, don't do it).
8b53fc2c
VB
161 + Interfaces can now be whitelisted. For example, *,!eth*,!!eth1
162 is a valid pattern for all interfaces except eth ones, except
627e31c4
VB
163 eth1. Moreover, on exact match, an matching interface
164 circumvents most sanity checks (like VLAN handling).
724d71ea 165 + Ability to override the hostname.
12313820 166
f730f6c5 167lldpd (0.7.7)
87bc6683
VB
168 * Features:
169 + Use a locally administered MAC address or an arbitrary one
d7166588
VB
170 instead of null MAC address for bond devices on Linux. This is
171 configurable through `lldpcli`.
f5a0a15e 172 + Add support for "team" driver (alternative to bond devices).
bdfe4193 173 + Preliminary support for DTrace/systemtap.
00e40dba 174 + Preliminary support for seccomp (for monitor process).
b6312220 175 + Setup chroot inside lldpd instead of relying on init script.
f730f6c5
VB
176 * Fixes:
177 + Various bugs related to fixed point number handling (for
178 coordinates in LLDP-MED)
12baf781
VB
179 + Fix a regression in how MAC address of an enslaved device is
180 retrieved.
f730f6c5 181

252 option `--enable-oldies` allow to reenable their uses for
253 systems not supporting sysfs.
46baf627 254
4b292b55
VB
255lldpd (0.6.1)
256 * Features:
257 + Provide liblldpctl.so, a library to interface with lldpd. The
258 documentation is provided through Doxygen. See src/lib/lldpctl.h
259 which contains all the exported functions.
260 + Make lldpctl uses liblldpctl.so.
4e90a9e0 261 + Add a "watch" option to lldpctl to monitor neighbor changes.
47287a61

281lldpd (0.5.7)
282 * Fixes:
283 + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers
284 + Fix infinite loop for the receive part: on certain conditions,
285 lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
286
aff85bf3
VB
287lldpd (0.5.6)
288 * Features:

84e06882
VB
299 * Fixes:
300 + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
301 interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
302 output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
0265b1e5 303 + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
a8818344
VB
304 + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in

329 + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
330 detected.
42b39485
VB
331 + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
332 for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
333 does not support CDP.

338 thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
339 + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
49697208
VB
340 + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
341 decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
342 README for more information on the new feature.
c036b15d 343 + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
93108f71 344
58fe6128 345 * Fixes:
5b3214aa
VB
346 + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
347 like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
4ea50809
VB
348 + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
349 Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
58fe6128 350
775d49a0
VB
351lldpd (0.5.0)
352
0bded858
VB
353 * Features:
354 + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
355 modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
356 for example.
357 + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
358 abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
359 examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
360 is also abstracted.
361 + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
362 kernel.
363 + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
364 + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
365 2.1. Still Linux-only though.
740d517e 366 + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
0bded858 367 + Add some unit tests
4f602042
V
368 + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
369 format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
370 Hofmeister.

385
a8105c1b
VB
386lldpd (0.4)
387
388 * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
389 architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
390 cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
391 we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
392 step.
