   1 lldpd (0.6.1)
   2   * Features:
   3     + Provide liblldpctl.so, a library to interface with lldpd. The
   4       documentation is provided through Doxygen. See src/lib/lldpctl.h
   5       which contains all the exported functions.
   6     + Make lldpctl uses liblldpctl.so.
   7
   8 lldpd (0.6)
   9   * Features:
  10     + Allow lldpctl to display hidden ports.
  11     + Add a switch to specify interfaces to use to get chassis ID.
  12     + Support for multiple management addresses and IPv6 management
  13       addresses. Contributed by João Valverde.
  14   * Global changes:
  15     + Switch to libevent. See README.md for details.
  16     + Partial rewrite of the SNMP part. Less code.
  17     + Unit tests for SNMP.
  18     + Major rewrite of the protocol between lldpd and lldpctl. Less
  19       code.
  20   * Fixes:
  21     + Several small SNMP fixes (discovered by unit tests).
  22
  23 lldpd (0.5.7)
  24  * Fixes:
  25     + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers
  26     + Fix infinite loop for the receive part: on certain conditions,
  27       lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
  28
  29 lldpd (0.5.6)
  30   * Features:
  31     + Send and receive native VLAN TLV with CDP
  32     + Add a whitelist for some drivers (currently: dsa and veth)
  33   * Fixes:
  34     + Compilation issues with NetSNMP 5.7 (and with earlier versions too)
  35     + Small optimization of BPF filter
  36
  37 lldpd (0.5.5)
  38   * Features:
  39     + Support for PPVID and PI Dot1 TLV, thanks to Shuah Khan.
  40     + Extend whitelist with possibility to blacklist.
  41   * Fixes:
  42     + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
  43       interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
  44       output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
  45     + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
  46     + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in
  47       the socket protocol!
  48     + Fix a segfault when neither /etc/os-release nor lsb_release
  49       are available.
  50
  51 lldpd (0.5.4)
  52   * Features:
  53     + Get OS information from /etc/os-release if available. Patch from
  54       Michael Tremer.
  55     + Add a flag to specify which interfaces lldpd should listen to.
  56
  57 lldpd (0.5.3)
  58   * Fixes:
  59     + Allow root to change configuration of lldpd when lldpctl has suid set.
  60   * Features:
  61     + Handle Dot3 POE-MDI TLV (802.3af and 802.3at).
  62     + Allow to set Dot3 POE-MDI from lldpctl.
  63
  64 lldpd (0.5.2)
  65   * Features:
  66     + More flexible smart mode and new default. Manual page has been updated.
  67     + Add a "receive-only" mode with "-r" switch.
  68
  69 lldpd (0.5.1)
  70   * Features:
  71     + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
  72       detected.
  73     + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
  74       for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
  75       does not support CDP.
  76     + Allow to set LLDP-MED network policy from lldpctl, thanks to a patch from
  77       Philipp Kempgen.
  78     + Allow to set LLDP-MED POE-MDI from lldpctl.
  79     + Add a summary of available options in "lldpd -h" and "lldpctl -h",
  80       thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
  81     + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
  82     + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
  83       decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
  84       README for more information on the new feature.
  85     + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
  86
  87   * Fixes:
  88     + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
  89       like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
  90     + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
  91       Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
  92
  93 lldpd (0.5.0)
  94
  95   * Features:
  96     + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
  97       modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
  98       for example.
  99     + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
 100       abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
 101       examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
 102       is also abstracted.
 103     + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
 104       kernel.
 105     + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
 106     + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
 107       2.1. Still Linux-only though.
 108     + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
 109     + Add some unit tests
 110     + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
 111       format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
 112       Hofmeister.
 113
 114   * Bug fixes:
 115     + Fix EDP VLAN handling
 116     + Silent warnings about bridge stuff.
 117     + Copy /etc/localtime into chroot before starting lldpd daemon to
 118       ensure correct timestamps for logs.
 119
 120 lldpd (0.4.1)
 121
 122   * Fix EDP handling when there is no VLAN
 123   * Fix CDP version to not always be 1
 124   * Misc fix:
 125      + incorrect number of arguments for a LLOG_INFO call
 126      + fix SNMP last change in case this change occurs before start time
 127
 128 lldpd (0.4)
 129
 130   * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
 131     architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
 132     cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
 133     we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
 134     step.
 135
 136 lldpd (0.3.2)
 137
 138   * Fix LLDP-MED support
 139
 140 lldpd (0.3.1)
 141
 142   * Misc fixes, including memory leaks
 143
 144 lldpd (0.3)
 145
 146   * Initial support of LLDP-MED
 147   * Fix for bridge detection (don't send bridge ioctl on random interfaces)
 148   * For bonded devices, get the real hardware address. For inactive
 149     slaves, transmit using a random MAC address.
 150
 151 lldpd (0.2.1)
 152
 153   * Fix a syntax error in manual page
 154   * Fix open() calls
 155
 156 lldpd (0.2)
 157
 158   * Add privilege separation
 159   * Add FDP support
 160   * Support CDP encapsulated into native VLAN
 161   * Various fixes
 162
 163 lldpd (0.1)
 164
 165   * Initial release
