5133ce2f
VB
1lldpd (0.7.9)
2 * Changes:
3 + Default location for chroot, socket and PID are now configurable
4 in `./configure`. The default location is based on the value of
5 `runstatedir` which in turn may be based on the value of
6 `localstatedir` which defaults to `/usr/local/var`. Therefore,
7 to get the previous locations, lldpd should be configured with
8 `./configure --localstatedir=/var`.
d5f8351c 9 * Fixes:
0e29d794
VB
10 + Fix `configure system bond-slave-src-mac-type local`. Also use
11 it as default.
5a215d4b 12 * Features:
a85eea84 13 + Add support for shutdown LLDPU.
622d14bb 14 + Ability to configure IP management pattern from lldpcli.
5133ce2f 15
12313820
VB
16lldpd (0.7.8)
17 * Fixes:
18 + Don't hard-code default values for system name, system
19 description and port description. When the field is not present,
20 just don't display it.
fe8f9650 21 + Fix lldpcli behaviour when suid.
724d71ea
VB
22 + On OSX, don't use p2p0 interfaces: it would break WLAN.
23 + Fix SNMP support on RHEL.
8b0ca98e
VB
24 * Features:
25 + Android support
71a7dbb3
VB
26 + Add the possibility to disable privilege separation (lower
27 memory consumption, lower security, don't do it).
8b53fc2c
VB
28 + Interfaces can now be whitelisted. For example, *,!eth*,!!eth1
29 is a valid pattern for all interfaces except eth ones, except
627e31c4
VB
30 eth1. Moreover, on exact match, an matching interface
31 circumvents most sanity checks (like VLAN handling).
724d71ea 32 + Ability to override the hostname.
12313820 33
f730f6c5 34lldpd (0.7.7)
87bc6683
VB
35 * Features:
36 + Use a locally administered MAC address or an arbitrary one
d7166588
VB
37 instead of null MAC address for bond devices on Linux. This is
38 configurable through `lldpcli`.
f5a0a15e 39 + Add support for "team" driver (alternative to bond devices).
bdfe4193 40 + Preliminary support for DTrace/systemtap.
00e40dba 41 + Preliminary support for seccomp (for monitor process).
b6312220 42 + Setup chroot inside lldpd instead of relying on init script.
f730f6c5
VB
43 * Fixes:
44 + Various bugs related to fixed point number handling (for
45 coordinates in LLDP-MED)
12baf781
VB
46 + Fix a regression in how MAC address of an enslaved device is
47 retrieved.

8b7150e4 116 + lldpctl can now output JSON.
fda729fd

46baf627 121
4b292b55
VB
122lldpd (0.6.1)
123 * Features:
124 + Provide liblldpctl.so, a library to interface with lldpd. The
125 documentation is provided through Doxygen. See src/lib/lldpctl.h
126 which contains all the exported functions.
127 + Make lldpctl uses liblldpctl.so.
4e90a9e0 128 + Add a "watch" option to lldpctl to monitor neighbor changes.
47287a61
VB
129 + Add the possibility to display the current configuration of
130 lldpd with lldpctl. Also add the possibility to reset the
131 current transmit delay.
4b292b55 132

144 code.
4e22da4c 145 * Fixes:
4e22da4c
VB
146 + Several small SNMP fixes (discovered by unit tests).
147
c520cb14
VB
148lldpd (0.5.7)
149 * Fixes:
150 + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers
151 + Fix infinite loop for the receive part: on certain conditions,
152 lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
153
aff85bf3
VB
154lldpd (0.5.6)
155 * Features:
2a19e9ea 156 + Send and receive native VLAN TLV with CDP
10935633 157 + Add a whitelist for some drivers (currently: dsa and veth)
ab2d1c1f
VB
158 * Fixes:
159 + Compilation issues with NetSNMP 5.7 (and with earlier versions too)
a2606cac 160 + Small optimization of BPF filter

163 * Features:
164 + Support for PPVID and PI Dot1 TLV, thanks to Shuah Khan.
5abfffc2 165 + Extend whitelist with possibility to blacklist.
84e06882
VB
166 * Fixes:
167 + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
168 interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
169 output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
0265b1e5 170 + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
a8818344
VB
171 + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in
172 the socket protocol!
bf89e7e0
VB

176lldpd (0.5.4)
177 * Features:
178 + Get OS information from /etc/os-release if available. Patch from
179 Michael Tremer.
ba85f9f4 180 + Add a flag to specify which interfaces lldpd should listen to.
e02afca4 181
05eacc7a
VB
182lldpd (0.5.3)
183 * Fixes:
184 + Allow root to change configuration of lldpd when lldpctl has suid set.
09721cce
VB
185 * Features:
186 + Handle Dot3 POE-MDI TLV (802.3af and 802.3at).
187 + Allow to set Dot3 POE-MDI from lldpctl.
05eacc7a 188
8482abe9
VB
189lldpd (0.5.2)

8482abe9 193
93108f71
VB
194lldpd (0.5.1)
195 * Features:
196 + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
197 detected.
42b39485
VB
198 + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
199 for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
200 does not support CDP.
0d606289 201 + Allow to set LLDP-MED network policy from lldpctl, thanks to a patch from
40d6a8d2 202 Philipp Kempgen.
0d606289 203 + Allow to set LLDP-MED POE-MDI from lldpctl.
93108f71 204 + Add a summary of available options in "lldpd -h" and "lldpctl -h",
999509a3
VB
205 thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
206 + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
49697208
VB
207 + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
208 decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
209 README for more information on the new feature.
c036b15d 210 + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
93108f71 211
58fe6128 212 * Fixes:
5b3214aa
VB
213 + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
214 like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
4ea50809
VB
215 + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
216 Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
58fe6128 217
775d49a0
VB
218lldpd (0.5.0)
219
0bded858
VB
220 * Features:
221 + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
222 modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
223 for example.
224 + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
225 abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
226 examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
227 is also abstracted.
228 + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
229 kernel.
230 + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
231 + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
232 2.1. Still Linux-only though.
740d517e 233 + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
0bded858 234 + Add some unit tests
4f602042
V
235 + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
236 format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
237 Hofmeister.
0bded858
VB
238
239 * Bug fixes:
240 + Fix EDP VLAN handling
241 + Silent warnings about bridge stuff.
c0ce5d1a
V
242 + Copy /etc/localtime into chroot before starting lldpd daemon to
243 ensure correct timestamps for logs.
775d49a0 244
b7eb76b7
VB
245lldpd (0.4.1)
246
247 * Fix EDP handling when there is no VLAN
248 * Fix CDP version to not always be 1
249 * Misc fix:
250 + incorrect number of arguments for a LLOG_INFO call
251 + fix SNMP last change in case this change occurs before start time
252
a8105c1b
VB
253lldpd (0.4)
254
255 * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
256 architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
257 cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
258 we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
259 step.

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