29 | o Filter: Method framework | |
30 | o Filter: Functions have return type statements | |
31 | o Filter: New bytestring data type | |
32 | o Kernel: Option to learn kernel routes | |
33 | o Many bugfixes and improvements | |
34 | ||
35 | Notes: | |
36 | ||
37 | User-defined filter functions that return values now should have return type | |
38 | statements. We still accept functions without such statement, if they could be | |
39 | properly typed. | |
40 | ||
41 | For loops allowed to use both existing iterator variables or ones defined in | |
42 | the for statement. We no longer support the first case, all iterator variables | |
43 | must be defined in the for statement (e.g. 'for int i in bgp_path ...'). | |
44 | ||
45 | Due to oversight, VRF interfaces were not included in respective VRFs, this is | |
46 | fixed now. | |

62 | ||
63 | Notes: | |
64 | ||
65 | We changed versioning scheme from <epoch>.<major>.<minor> to more common | |
66 | <major>.<minor>.<patch> . From now on, you may expect that BIRD 2.13.x will be | |
67 | strictly only fixing bugs found in 2.13, whereas BIRD 2.14 will also contain | |
68 | new features. | |
69 | ||
70 | This BIRD version contains an alpha release of BMP protocol implementation. | |
71 | It is not ready for production usage and therefore it is not compiled by | |
72 | default and have to be enabled during installation. | |

81 | Version 2.0.11 (2022-11-12) |
82 | o BGP roles (RFC 9234) | |
83 | o BGP: Keepalive time scaling | |
84 | o BGP: New 'min hold time' and 'min keepalive time' options | |
85 | o BGP: New 'next hop prefer global' option | |
86 | o Filter: For loops and direct recursion | |
87 | o Filter: Mixed declarations of local variables | |
88 | o Filter: Improved static type checks | |
89 | o Filter: Literal [] for empty set | |
90 | o Linux: Netlink KRT improvements | |
91 | o BSD: Experimental support for Netlink API | |
92 | o Memory management improvements | |
93 | o Many bugfixes | |
94 | ||
95 | Notes: | |
96 | ||
97 | In contrast to prior versions, configured keepalive time in BGP now scales | |
98 | with negotiated hold time to maintain proportion between the keepalive time | |
99 | and the hold time. | |
100 | ||
101 | The Linux KRT was updated to use the recent API for IPv6 ECMP routes instead | |
102 | of the legacy one. Consequently, the Linux versions older than 4.11 are no | |
103 | longer supported, at least for IPv6 ECMP routes. Also, routing table scanning | |
104 | now runs separately for each table to avoid congestion. | |
105 | ||
106 | There is a minor change in recursive next hop processing. Previously, | |
107 | recursive next hop must be resolved through a non-recursive route, now it must | |
108 | be resolved through a prefix where both the best route and all routes with the | |
109 | same preference (as the best route) are non-recursive. The old behavior might | |
110 | lead in some corner cases to an infinite loop of recursive next hop resolution | |
111 | due to a priority inversion. | |
112 | ||
113 | There is a minor change in the 'configure undo' command, it is no longer | |
114 | available after failed reconfiguration, as the old configuration is already | |
115 | released. | |

127 | o BGP: Flowspec validation procedure |
128 | o Babel: MAC authentication support | |
129 | o Routing table configuration blocks | |

143 | o Security keys / passwords can be entered in hexadecimal digits | |
144 | o Memory statistics split into Effective and Overhead | |
145 | o Linux: New option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket buffer size | |
146 | o BSD: Assume onlink flag on ifaces with only host addresses | |
147 | o Many bugfixes | |

64d5d6d2 | 149 | Notes: |
71c9484b | 150 | |
64d5d6d2 OZ |
151 | For OSPF on PtP network, BIRD now sends all packets to multicast AllSPFRouters |
152 | address (as required in RFC 2328 8.1). This likely breaks setups with multiple | |
153 | neighbors on a network configured as PtP, which worked in previous versions. | |
154 | Such links should be configured as PtMP. | |
155 | ||
156 | Since Linux 5.3, netlink socket can be flooded by route cache entries during | |
157 | route table scan. This version mitigates that issue by using strict netlink | |
158 | filtering. | |

161 | Version 2.0.8 (2021-03-18) |
162 | o Automatic channel reloads based on RPKI changes | |
163 | o Multiple static routes with the same network | |
164 | o Use bitmaps to keep track of exported routes | |
165 | o Per-channel debug flags | |
166 | o CLI commands show info from multiple protocols | |
167 | o Linux: IPv4 routes with IPv6 nexthops | |
168 | o Filter: Optimized redesign of prefix sets | |
169 | o Filter: Improved type checking of user filters | |
170 | o Filter: New src/dst accessors for Flowspec and SADR | |
171 | o Filter: New 'weight' route attribute | |
172 | o Filter: BGP path mask loop operator | |
173 | o Filter: Remove quitbird command | |
174 | o RIP: Demand circuit support (RFC 2091) | |
175 | o BGP: New 'allow as sets' and 'enforce first as' options | |
176 | o BGP: Support for BGP hostname capability | |

181 | o RPKI: New 'ignore max length' option | |
182 | o OSPF: Redesign of handling of unnumbered PtPs | |
183 | o OSPF: Allow key id 0 in authentication | |
184 | o Babel: Use onlink flag for routes with unreachable next hop | |
185 | o Many bugfixes | |
186 | ||
187 | Notes: | |
188 | ||
189 | Automatic channel reloads based on RPKI changes are enabled by default, | |
190 | but require import table enabled when used in BGP import filter. | |
191 | ||
192 | BIRD now uses bitmaps to keep track of exported routes instead of | |
193 | re-evaluation of export filters. That should improve speed and accuracy in | |
194 | route export handling during reconfiguration, but takes some more memory. | |
195 | ||
196 | Per-channel debug logging and some CLI commands (like 'show ospf neighbors') | |
197 | defaulting to all protocol instances lead to some minor changes in log and | |
198 | CLI output. Caution is recommended when logs or CLI output are monitored by | |
199 | scripts. | |

224 | Notes: | |
225 | ||
226 | Previous version introduced an error in handling of OSPF NSSA-LSA, causing | |
227 | compatibility issues with proper implementations. The error is fixed in this | |
228 | version, therefore there are compatibility issues in OSPF NSSA areas between | |
229 | this and previous version. | |

255 | o Many bugfixes | |
256 | ||
257 | Notes: | |
258 | ||
259 | Export of routes to RS EBGP (route server) sessions from other sources than | |
260 | RS EBGP sessions was changed that ASN is no longer prepended to BGP_PATH in | |
261 | that case. The change does not affect regular BGP configurations or regular | |
262 | route servers that have only RS EBGP peers. | |
263 | ||
264 | For BGP route servers and route reflectors, the default value of option | |
265 | 'next hop keep' was changed to a more appropriate value. | |
266 | ||
267 | Attributes for OSPF and Babel metrics are no longer reset when exported to | |
268 | these protocols and could be set anywhere in BIRD. As a result, OSPF metric is | |
269 | kept when a route is reannounced between OSPF instances. Also, when route is | |
270 | exported to OSPF with both ospf_metric1 and ospf_metric2 attributes it is now | |
271 | propagated as OSPF-E2 route instead of as OSPF-E1 route. | |
272 | ||
273 | Compiling BIRD with --enable-debug no longer automatically activates debug | |
274 | mode (-d option) nor local mode (-l option). Also, debug mode with output to | |
275 | file (-D option) no longer not forces foreground mode (-f option). | |
276 | ||
277 | The configure script now uses standard option --runstatedir, the old option | |
278 | --with-runtimedir is deprecated. | |
279 | ||

286 | o Several bugfixes | |
287 | ||
288 | Notes: | |
289 | ||
290 | Syntax prefix:netmask for IPv4 prefixes was dropped. Just use prefix/pxlen. | |

c2febfa3 OZ |
299 | Notes: |
300 | ||
301 | To satisfy requirements of RFC 8212, external BGP protocols now require | |
302 | explicit configuration of import and export policies. | |

402 | o Several minor option changes: | |
403 | - OSPF: Protocol-wide 'instance id' option added. | |
404 | - BGP: Parameters to option 'neighbor' extended. | |
405 | - BGP: Separate option 'interface' added. | |
406 | - BGP: Option 'start delay time' renamed to 'connect delay time'. | |
407 | - BGP: Option 'route limit' deprecated. | |
408 | ||
409 | Upgrade notes: | |
410 | ||
411 | For OSPF, there are deep internal changes, but user-visible changes | |
412 | are limited to log messages and minor changes in formatting of command | |
413 | output. | |
414 | ||
415 | For BGP, version 1.5.0 is essentially a minor release. There are two | |
416 | deprecated options ('start delay time' and 'route limit') and some | |
417 | minor formatting changes. | |
