   1 lldpd (0.6.2)
   2   * Global changes:
   3     + FreeBSD support.
   4     + OpenBSD support.
   5   * Features:
   6     + Allow to disable LLDP protocol (with `-ll`). In this case, the
   7       first enabled protocol will be used when no neighbor is detected.
   8     + Allow to filter debug logs using tokens. Add more debug logs.
   9     + lldpctl can now output JSON.
  10     + Use netlink to gather interface information on Linux.
  11     + Detect interface changes with netlink as well on Linux and
  12       trigger interface updates in a timely manner.
  13     + Don't use ioctl for bridges anymore on Linux. The configure
  14       option `--enable-oldies` allow to reenable their uses for
  15       systems not supporting sysfs.
  16
  17 lldpd (0.6.1)
  18   * Features:
  19     + Provide liblldpctl.so, a library to interface with lldpd. The
  20       documentation is provided through Doxygen. See src/lib/lldpctl.h
  21       which contains all the exported functions.
  22     + Make lldpctl uses liblldpctl.so.
  23     + Add a "watch" option to lldpctl to monitor neighbor changes.
  24     + Add the possibility to display the current configuration of
  25       lldpd with lldpctl. Also add the possibility to reset the
  26       current transmit delay.
  27
  28 lldpd (0.6)
  29   * Features:
  30     + Allow lldpctl to display hidden ports.
  31     + Add a switch to specify interfaces to use to get chassis ID.
  32     + Support for multiple management addresses and IPv6 management
  33       addresses. Contributed by João Valverde.
  34   * Global changes:
  35     + Switch to libevent. See README.md for details.
  36     + Partial rewrite of the SNMP part. Less code.
  37     + Unit tests for SNMP.
  38     + Major rewrite of the protocol between lldpd and lldpctl. Less
  39       code.
  40   * Fixes:
  41     + Several small SNMP fixes (discovered by unit tests).
  42
  43 lldpd (0.5.7)
  44  * Fixes:
  45     + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers
  46     + Fix infinite loop for the receive part: on certain conditions,
  47       lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
  48
  49 lldpd (0.5.6)
  50   * Features:
  51     + Send and receive native VLAN TLV with CDP
  52     + Add a whitelist for some drivers (currently: dsa and veth)
  53   * Fixes:
  54     + Compilation issues with NetSNMP 5.7 (and with earlier versions too)
  55     + Small optimization of BPF filter
  56
  57 lldpd (0.5.5)
  58   * Features:
  59     + Support for PPVID and PI Dot1 TLV, thanks to Shuah Khan.
  60     + Extend whitelist with possibility to blacklist.
  61   * Fixes:
  62     + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
  63       interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
  64       output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
  65     + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
  66     + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in
  67       the socket protocol!
  68     + Fix a segfault when neither /etc/os-release nor lsb_release
  69       are available.
  70
  71 lldpd (0.5.4)
  72   * Features:
  73     + Get OS information from /etc/os-release if available. Patch from
  74       Michael Tremer.
  75     + Add a flag to specify which interfaces lldpd should listen to.
  76
  77 lldpd (0.5.3)
  78   * Fixes:
  79     + Allow root to change configuration of lldpd when lldpctl has suid set.
  80   * Features:
  81     + Handle Dot3 POE-MDI TLV (802.3af and 802.3at).
  82     + Allow to set Dot3 POE-MDI from lldpctl.
  83
  84 lldpd (0.5.2)
  85   * Features:
  86     + More flexible smart mode and new default. Manual page has been updated.
  87     + Add a "receive-only" mode with "-r" switch.
  88
  89 lldpd (0.5.1)
  90   * Features:
  91     + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
  92       detected.
  93     + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
  94       for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
  95       does not support CDP.
  96     + Allow to set LLDP-MED network policy from lldpctl, thanks to a patch from
  97       Philipp Kempgen.
  98     + Allow to set LLDP-MED POE-MDI from lldpctl.
  99     + Add a summary of available options in "lldpd -h" and "lldpctl -h",
 100       thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
 101     + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
 102     + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
 103       decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
 104       README for more information on the new feature.
 105     + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
 106
 107   * Fixes:
 108     + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
 109       like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
 110     + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
 111       Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
 112
 113 lldpd (0.5.0)
 114
 115   * Features:
 116     + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
 117       modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
 118       for example.
 119     + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
 120       abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
 121       examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
 122       is also abstracted.
 123     + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
 124       kernel.
 125     + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
 126     + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
 127       2.1. Still Linux-only though.
 128     + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
 129     + Add some unit tests
 130     + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
 131       format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
 132       Hofmeister.
 133
 134   * Bug fixes:
 135     + Fix EDP VLAN handling
 136     + Silent warnings about bridge stuff.
 137     + Copy /etc/localtime into chroot before starting lldpd daemon to
 138       ensure correct timestamps for logs.
 139
 140 lldpd (0.4.1)
 141
 142   * Fix EDP handling when there is no VLAN
 143   * Fix CDP version to not always be 1
 144   * Misc fix:
 145      + incorrect number of arguments for a LLOG_INFO call
 146      + fix SNMP last change in case this change occurs before start time
 147
 148 lldpd (0.4)
 149
 150   * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
 151     architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
 152     cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
 153     we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
 154     step.
 155
 156 lldpd (0.3.2)
 157
 158   * Fix LLDP-MED support
 159
 160 lldpd (0.3.1)
 161
 162   * Misc fixes, including memory leaks
 163
 164 lldpd (0.3)
 165
 166   * Initial support of LLDP-MED
 167   * Fix for bridge detection (don't send bridge ioctl on random interfaces)
 168   * For bonded devices, get the real hardware address. For inactive
 169     slaves, transmit using a random MAC address.
 170
 171 lldpd (0.2.1)
 172
 173   * Fix a syntax error in manual page
 174   * Fix open() calls
 175
 176 lldpd (0.2)
 177
 178   * Add privilege separation
 179   * Add FDP support
 180   * Support CDP encapsulated into native VLAN
 181   * Various fixes
 182
 183 lldpd (0.1)
 184
 185   * Initial release
