9a775667 30 * Other features:
46baf627

4b292b55
VB
40lldpd (0.6.1)
41 * Features:

65
c520cb14
VB
66lldpd (0.5.7)
67 * Fixes:
68 + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers

70 lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
71
aff85bf3
VB
72lldpd (0.5.6)
73 * Features:
2a19e9ea 74 + Send and receive native VLAN TLV with CDP

82 + Support for PPVID and PI Dot1 TLV, thanks to Shuah Khan.
5abfffc2 83 + Extend whitelist with possibility to blacklist.
84e06882
VB
84 * Fixes:
85 + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
86 interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
87 output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
0265b1e5 88 + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
a8818344
VB
89 + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in
90 the socket protocol!
bf89e7e0
VB
91 + Fix a segfault when neither /etc/os-release nor lsb_release
92 are available.
84e06882 93
e02afca4
VB
94lldpd (0.5.4)
95 * Features:
96 + Get OS information from /etc/os-release if available. Patch from

05eacc7a
VB
100lldpd (0.5.3)
101 * Fixes:
102 + Allow root to change configuration of lldpd when lldpctl has suid set.
09721cce
VB
103 * Features:
104 + Handle Dot3 POE-MDI TLV (802.3af and 802.3at).
105 + Allow to set Dot3 POE-MDI from lldpctl.
05eacc7a 106
8482abe9
VB
107lldpd (0.5.2)
108 * Features:
109 + More flexible smart mode and new default. Manual page has been updated.

8482abe9 111
93108f71
VB
112lldpd (0.5.1)
113 * Features:
114 + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
115 detected.
42b39485
VB
116 + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
117 for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
118 does not support CDP.
0d606289 119 + Allow to set LLDP-MED network policy from lldpctl, thanks to a patch from
40d6a8d2 120 Philipp Kempgen.
0d606289 121 + Allow to set LLDP-MED POE-MDI from lldpctl.

999509a3
VB
123 thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
124 + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
49697208
VB
125 + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
126 decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
127 README for more information on the new feature.
c036b15d 128 + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
93108f71 129
58fe6128 130 * Fixes:
5b3214aa
VB
131 + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
132 like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
4ea50809
VB
133 + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
134 Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
58fe6128 135
775d49a0
VB
136lldpd (0.5.0)
137
0bded858
VB
138 * Features:
139 + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
140 modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
141 for example.
142 + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
143 abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
144 examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
145 is also abstracted.
146 + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
147 kernel.
148 + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
149 + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
150 2.1. Still Linux-only though.
740d517e 151 + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
0bded858 152 + Add some unit tests
4f602042
V
153 + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
154 format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
155 Hofmeister.
0bded858
VB
156
157 * Bug fixes:
158 + Fix EDP VLAN handling
159 + Silent warnings about bridge stuff.
c0ce5d1a
V
160 + Copy /etc/localtime into chroot before starting lldpd daemon to
161 ensure correct timestamps for logs.
775d49a0 162
b7eb76b7
VB
163lldpd (0.4.1)
164
165 * Fix EDP handling when there is no VLAN
166 * Fix CDP version to not always be 1
167 * Misc fix:
168 + incorrect number of arguments for a LLOG_INFO call
169 + fix SNMP last change in case this change occurs before start time
170
a8105c1b
VB
171lldpd (0.4)
172
173 * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
174 architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
175 cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
176 we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
177 step.

191 * For bonded devices, get the real hardware address. For inactive
192 slaves, transmit using a random MAC address.
