[thirdparty/lldpd.git] / NEWS
CommitLineData
87bb9a1b
VB
1lldpd (0.9.1)
2 * Change:
3 + Rework packaging for OS X to make it work with El Capitan. To
4 simplify a bit, it is not possible anymore to build fat
5 binaries. Latest version of OS X supporting 32bit was 10.6.
6
0fa2254b
VB
7lldpd (0.9.0)
8 * Change:
b5a71b24
VB
9 + Don't rely on libnl3 for netlink. Reuse the previous code and
10 implement a lighweight cache.
0fa2254b 11
59b4cc6d 12lldpd (0.8.0, never released)
8ef5bced
VB
13 * Fix:
14 + Fix a buffer overflow when receiving a too large management
15 address TLV. Unless hardening has been disabled, this overflow
16 cannot be used for arbitrary code execution.
c56e4067
VB
17 + Update LLDP-MED policy L2 priority values to match
18 802.1Q-2005. This may be a breaking change.
13181ede 19 * Change:
a8add742
VB
20 + PIE is now disabled by default. It's too difficult to reliably
21 detect if it works. Use --enable-pie to enable it.
d535fe05 22 + Retrieve the permanent MAC address of an interface through
1a3ec373 23 ethtool for Linux if /proc/net/bonding is not available.
9856f279
VB
24 + Running lldpd with "-d" will keep the process in foreground but
25 logs will still go to syslog. To log to the console, add at
26 least one "-d".
aedb840f
VB
27 + Fix minimal kernel version to 2.6.39. Add a runtime warning when
28 this is not the case.
31c9173a 29 + Remove old bridge code (the one using ioctl).
36080cdc
VB
30 + Don't discard down interfaces. Notably, this enables us to keep
31 their specific configuration if any.
13181ede
VB
32 + For Linux, switch to libnl3. Be aware of the licensing issues in
33 case of static linking.
9da663f7
VB
34 + Introduce the notion of default local port. New interfaces will
35 use it as a base. This allows setting various MED stuff.
cd7ee899 36 + Provide an apparmor profile (untested).
13181ede 37
b52ec8a0
VB
38lldpd (0.7.17)
39 * Fix:
40 + Fix an infinite loop when using veth on Linux 4.1+ kernels.
41 + Make CDP advertise the appropriate kernel name as platform,
42 not just "Linux".
43 * Change:
44 + Fix the way libevent configure is called.
45
45eec1ff 46lldpd (0.7.16)
16eacc5b
VB
47 * Change:
48 + For Linux, 2.6.32 is now the minimal required kernel. When using
49 an older kernel, use `--enable-oldies`.
50 + For Linux, use netlink to retrieve information about bridges,
51 VLAN and bonds. The code was contributed by Cumulus Networks.
88301db1 52 * Features:
45eec1ff 53 + Use symbol versioning for liblldpctl.so.
88301db1
VB
54 + Ability to get local chassis information with "show
55 chassis".
56 + The library also has the same ability with the
57 `lldpctl_get_local_chassis()` function. It is also possible to
58 get a chassis atom from a port with `lldpctl_k_port_chassis`
59 key. This is now the preferred way to retrieve chassis related
60 information.
d8367e17
VB
61 * Fix:
62 + Fix build on OS X.
451b0c3c 63 + Accept "language" when configuring MED location as a civic address.
d8367e17 64
fa9b12c5
VB
65lldpd (0.7.15)
66 * Features:
67 + Optional features can be configured with "auto" to autodetect if
dd8c9fe3 68 they are usable. This is the default value for JSON and XML support.
d0e76b5f
VB
69 + Ability to send and decode custom/unknown TLV. Thanks to Alexandru
70 Ardelean.
63e52965
VB
71 * Change:
72 + Modify checksum function. While this should be strictly
73 equivalent, if you notice CDP packets not accepted anymore, this
74 change is the first culprit.
fa9b12c5 75
efdd6718
VB
76lldpd (0.7.14)
77 * Features:
78 + Shutdown LLPDU are sent on MSAP change and when lldpd exits.
abfea7d0
VB
79 + When an exact IP is provided as a management pattern, use it
80 unconditionally.
a8382e7f
VB
81 + Ability to set port ID and description to an arbitrary value,
82 thanks to Alexandru Ardelean.
ac07e7e4
VB
83 * Fix:
84 + Incorrect boundary check when decoding management address and
85 protocol identity may lead to lldpd crash when processing
86 malformed LLDPDU.
5683586e
VB
87 + Many edge cases where lldpd was leaving hanging processes after
88 crashing.
efdd6718 89
da9c551a
VB

08ced6b4 100 + Don't complain when parsing a commented line.
22a53755
VB
101 + Correctly persist configuration changes for "system interface
102 promiscuous", "system interface description" "med fast-start
103 enable", "pause" and "resume".
148a1efe 104 + Fix listening on bond devices for old kernels (< 2.6.27).
6d2c29c7 105
9bc3d50e
VB
106lldpd (0.7.11)
107 * Features:
108 + Ship bash and zsh completion.
9b11faad 109 + Abort when some command-line options are repeated.
62f2faac
VB

9bc3d50e 112
f84199dd
VB
113lldpd (0.7.10)
114 * Features:
115 + Ability to set promiscuous mode to work around bugs of some
116 switches encapsulating LLDP frames inside 802.1Q frames.
87ebf13d

f84199dd 123
5133ce2f
VB
124lldpd (0.7.9)
125 * Changes:
126 + Default location for chroot, socket and PID are now configurable
127 in `./configure`. The default location is based on the value of
128 `runstatedir` which in turn may be based on the value of
129 `localstatedir` which defaults to `/usr/local/var`. Therefore,
130 to get the previous locations, lldpd should be configured with
131 `./configure --localstatedir=/var`.
d5f8351c 132 * Fixes:
0e29d794
VB
133 + Fix `configure system bond-slave-src-mac-type local`. Also use
134 it as default.
5a215d4b 135 * Features:
a85eea84 136 + Add support for shutdown LLDPU.
622d14bb 137 + Ability to configure IP management pattern from lldpcli.
e82818d1 138 + Ability to choose what port ID should be (MAC or interface name).
5133ce2f 139
12313820
VB
140lldpd (0.7.8)
141 * Fixes:
142 + Don't hard-code default values for system name, system
143 description and port description. When the field is not present,
144 just don't display it.
fe8f9650 145 + Fix lldpcli behaviour when suid.
724d71ea
VB
146 + On OSX, don't use p2p0 interfaces: it would break WLAN.
147 + Fix SNMP support on RHEL.
8b0ca98e
VB
148 * Features:
149 + Android support
71a7dbb3
VB
150 + Add the possibility to disable privilege separation (lower
151 memory consumption, lower security, don't do it).
8b53fc2c
VB
152 + Interfaces can now be whitelisted. For example, *,!eth*,!!eth1
153 is a valid pattern for all interfaces except eth ones, except
627e31c4
VB
154 eth1. Moreover, on exact match, an matching interface
155 circumvents most sanity checks (like VLAN handling).
724d71ea 156 + Ability to override the hostname.
12313820 157
f730f6c5 158lldpd (0.7.7)
87bc6683
VB
159 * Features:
160 + Use a locally administered MAC address or an arbitrary one
d7166588
VB
161 instead of null MAC address for bond devices on Linux. This is
162 configurable through `lldpcli`.
f5a0a15e 163 + Add support for "team" driver (alternative to bond devices).
bdfe4193 164 + Preliminary support for DTrace/systemtap.
00e40dba 165 + Preliminary support for seccomp (for monitor process).
b6312220 166 + Setup chroot inside lldpd instead of relying on init script.
f730f6c5
VB
167 * Fixes:
168 + Various bugs related to fixed point number handling (for
169 coordinates in LLDP-MED)
12baf781
VB
170 + Fix a regression in how MAC address of an enslaved device is
171 retrieved.
f730f6c5 172

decaec0d 193 + Allow to override system description from lldpcli.
96b97fac
VB
194 + Display the neighbor connected as the process title (or the
195 number of connected neighbors).
655145c0 196

244 systems not supporting sysfs.
46baf627 245
4b292b55
VB
246lldpd (0.6.1)
247 * Features:
248 + Provide liblldpctl.so, a library to interface with lldpd. The
249 documentation is provided through Doxygen. See src/lib/lldpctl.h
250 which contains all the exported functions.
251 + Make lldpctl uses liblldpctl.so.
4e90a9e0 252 + Add a "watch" option to lldpctl to monitor neighbor changes.
47287a61

VB
270 + Several small SNMP fixes (discovered by unit tests).
271
c520cb14
VB
272lldpd (0.5.7)
273 * Fixes:
274 + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers
275 + Fix infinite loop for the receive part: on certain conditions,
276 lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
277
aff85bf3
VB
278lldpd (0.5.6)
279 * Features:
2a19e9ea 280 + Send and receive native VLAN TLV with CDP

291 + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
292 interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
293 output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
0265b1e5 294 + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
a8818344
VB
295 + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in

320 + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
321 detected.
42b39485
VB
322 + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
323 for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
324 does not support CDP.

329 thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
330 + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
49697208
VB
331 + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
332 decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
333 README for more information on the new feature.
c036b15d 334 + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
93108f71 335
58fe6128 336 * Fixes:
5b3214aa
VB
337 + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
338 like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
4ea50809
VB
339 + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
340 Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
58fe6128 341
775d49a0
VB
342lldpd (0.5.0)
343
0bded858
VB
344 * Features:
345 + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
346 modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
347 for example.
348 + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
349 abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
350 examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
351 is also abstracted.
352 + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
353 kernel.
354 + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
355 + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
356 2.1. Still Linux-only though.
740d517e 357 + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
0bded858 358 + Add some unit tests
4f602042
V
359 + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
360 format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
361 Hofmeister.

376
a8105c1b
VB
377lldpd (0.4)
378
379 * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
380 architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
381 cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
382 we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
383 step.
