  17
  18 lldpd (0.7.2)
  19   * Features
  20     + lldpd can be configured through /etc/lldpd.conf and
  21       /etc/lldpd.d. All commands accepted by lldpcli are accepted.
  22     + Lock BPF interfaces before handing them to chrooted process on
  23       BSD.
  24     + Limit the number of neighbors for each port to 4 (per protocol).
  25     + Force CDPv2 protocol with argument `-ccc`.
  26     + Provide port statistics through "show statistics" command
  27       (thanks to Roopa Prabhu).
  28   * Fixes:
  29     + Driver whitelisting is done before checking if an interface has
  30       a lower interface in Linux.
  31     + Expire remote ports and chassis in a timely manner.
  32
  33 lldpd (0.7.1)
  34   * Features
  35     + Mac OS X support, sponsored by Xcloud, Mac cloud server hosting
  36       provider. http://xcloud.me/
  37     + Upstart and systemd support.
  38     + Remove Unix socket when there is no process listening.
  39
  40 lldpd (0.7.0)
  41   * Global changes:
  42     + FreeBSD support.
  43     + OpenBSD support.
  44     + NetBSD support.
  45     + Detect interface changes.
  46     + CLI for lldpctl: lldpcli.
  47   * Other features:
  48     + Allow to disable LLDP protocol (with `-ll`). In this case, the
  49       first enabled protocol will be used when no neighbor is detected.
  50     + Allow to filter debug logs using tokens. Add more debug logs.
  51     + lldpctl can now output JSON.
  52     + Use netlink to gather interface information on Linux.
  53     + Don't use ioctl for bridges anymore on Linux. The configure
  54       option `--enable-oldies` allow to reenable their uses for
  55       systems not supporting sysfs.
  56
  57 lldpd (0.6.1)
  58   * Features:
  59     + Provide liblldpctl.so, a library to interface with lldpd. The
  60       documentation is provided through Doxygen. See src/lib/lldpctl.h
  61       which contains all the exported functions.
  62     + Make lldpctl uses liblldpctl.so.
  63     + Add a "watch" option to lldpctl to monitor neighbor changes.
  64     + Add the possibility to display the current configuration of
  65       lldpd with lldpctl. Also add the possibility to reset the
  66       current transmit delay.
  67
  68 lldpd (0.6)
  69   * Features:
  70     + Allow lldpctl to display hidden ports.
  71     + Add a switch to specify interfaces to use to get chassis ID.
  72     + Support for multiple management addresses and IPv6 management
  73       addresses. Contributed by João Valverde.
  74   * Global changes:
  75     + Switch to libevent. See README.md for details.
  76     + Partial rewrite of the SNMP part. Less code.
  77     + Unit tests for SNMP.
  78     + Major rewrite of the protocol between lldpd and lldpctl. Less
  79       code.
  80   * Fixes:
  81     + Several small SNMP fixes (discovered by unit tests).
  82
  83 lldpd (0.5.7)
  84  * Fixes:
  85     + Configure issue with NetSNMP and some linkers
  86     + Fix infinite loop for the receive part: on certain conditions,
  87       lldpd will stop sending packets and stop updating local data.
  88
  89 lldpd (0.5.6)
  90   * Features:
  91     + Send and receive native VLAN TLV with CDP
  92     + Add a whitelist for some drivers (currently: dsa and veth)
  93   * Fixes:
  94     + Compilation issues with NetSNMP 5.7 (and with earlier versions too)
  95     + Small optimization of BPF filter
  96
  97 lldpd (0.5.5)
  98   * Features:
  99     + Support for PPVID and PI Dot1 TLV, thanks to Shuah Khan.
 100     + Extend whitelist with possibility to blacklist.
 101   * Fixes:
 102     + Key/value output was incorrect when a dot was present in
 103       interface names. This is fixed but it is preferable to use XML
 104       output since the parsing is more difficult in this case.
 105     + Only grab DMI information once. Only uses DMI for x86 platform.
 106     + Padding issues with socket protocol. This introduces a change in
 107       the socket protocol!
 108     + Fix a segfault when neither /etc/os-release nor lsb_release
 109       are available.
 110
 111 lldpd (0.5.4)
 112   * Features:
 113     + Get OS information from /etc/os-release if available. Patch from
 114       Michael Tremer.
 115     + Add a flag to specify which interfaces lldpd should listen to.
 116
 117 lldpd (0.5.3)
 118   * Fixes:
 119     + Allow root to change configuration of lldpd when lldpctl has suid set.
 120   * Features:
 121     + Handle Dot3 POE-MDI TLV (802.3af and 802.3at).
 122     + Allow to set Dot3 POE-MDI from lldpctl.
 123
 124 lldpd (0.5.2)
 125   * Features:
 126     + More flexible smart mode and new default. Manual page has been updated.
 127     + Add a "receive-only" mode with "-r" switch.
 128
 129 lldpd (0.5.1)
 130   * Features:
 131     + Allow to force a protocol even when no peer for this protocol is
 132       detected.
 133     + Add a smart mode that allows to discard bogus port information,
 134       for example CDP packets that are flooded through a switch that
 135       does not support CDP.
 136     + Allow to set LLDP-MED network policy from lldpctl, thanks to a patch from
 137       Philipp Kempgen.
 138     + Allow to set LLDP-MED POE-MDI from lldpctl.
 139     + Add a summary of available options in "lldpd -h" and "lldpctl -h",
 140       thanks to a patch from Jorge Boncompte.
 141     + Add a new output (keyvalue) for lldpctl.
 142     + Listen on VLAN using an appropriate BPF filter, VLAN
 143       decapsulation. Older "listen on vlan" feature is discarded. See
 144       README for more information on the new feature.
 145     + Use output of lsb_release if available for system description.
 146
 147   * Fixes:
 148     + Ignore interface with no queue. It should filter out interfaces
 149       like "vnet0" that would fail if we try to send something on them.
 150     + Don't check CDP checksums (not really a fix but it appears that
 151       Cisco checksum have some difficult corner cases).
 152
 153 lldpd (0.5.0)
 154
 155   * Features:
 156     + lldpd can now handle several systems on the same port. This
 157       modification also allows to speak to a switch using CDP and LLDP
 158       for example.
 159     + The way that lldpd gathers information for each port has been
 160       abstracted. This should allow to support more systems (BSD for
 161       examples) or switch cores in the future. Sending/receive support
 162       is also abstracted.
 163     + Add "-k" switch to avoid to emit too much information on running
 164       kernel.
 165     + Support of ifAlias with kernel >= 2.6.28
 166     + Lot of portability stuff. lldpd can now be compiled on RHEL
 167       2.1. Still Linux-only though.
 168     + Add an option to specify AgentX socket (-X).
 169     + Add some unit tests
 170     + lldpctl has been reworked; it is now able to output data in XML
 171       format for easier parsing. Patches were provided by Andreas
 172       Hofmeister.
 173
 174   * Bug fixes:
 175     + Fix EDP VLAN handling
 176     + Silent warnings about bridge stuff.
 177     + Copy /etc/localtime into chroot before starting lldpd daemon to
 178       ensure correct timestamps for logs.
 179
 180 lldpd (0.4.1)
 181
 182   * Fix EDP handling when there is no VLAN
 183   * Fix CDP version to not always be 1
 184   * Misc fix:
 185      + incorrect number of arguments for a LLOG_INFO call
 186      + fix SNMP last change in case this change occurs before start time
 187
 188 lldpd (0.4)
 189
 190   * Rewrite of packet builder and parser to be able to cope with
 191     architecture that cannot do unaligned read. For decoder, we don't
 192     cast structures any more since they can be unaligned. For encoder,
 193     we use memcpy through the use of macro that build packets step by
 194     step.
 195
 196 lldpd (0.3.2)
 197
 198   * Fix LLDP-MED support
 199
 200 lldpd (0.3.1)
 201
 202   * Misc fixes, including memory leaks
 203
 204 lldpd (0.3)
 205
 206   * Initial support of LLDP-MED
 207   * Fix for bridge detection (don't send bridge ioctl on random interfaces)
 208   * For bonded devices, get the real hardware address. For inactive
 209     slaves, transmit using a random MAC address.
 210
 211 lldpd (0.2.1)
 212
 213   * Fix a syntax error in manual page
 214   * Fix open() calls
