 Version 2.0.9 (2022-02-09)
- o BGP: Flowspec validation procedure
- o Babel: MAC authentication support
- o Routing table configuration blocks
- o Optional prefix trie in routing table for faster LPM/interval queries
- o CLI: New 'show route in <prefix>' command
- o Filter: Faster (16-way) prefix sets
- o Filter: MPLS label route attribute
- o Filter: Operators to pick community components
- o Filter: Operators to find minimum and maximum element of lists
- o BGP: New 'free bind' option
- o BGP: Log route updates that were changed to withdraws
- o BGP: Improved 'invalid next hop' error reporting
- o OSPF: Allow ifaces with host address as unnumbered PtP or PtMP ifaces
- o OSPF: All packets on PtP networks should be sent to AllSPFRouters address
- o Scripts for apkg-powered upstream packaging for deb and rpm
- o Support for Blake2s and Blake2b hash functions
- o Security keys / passwords can be entered in hexadecimal digits
- o Memory statistics split into Effective and Overhead
- o Linux: New option 'netlink rx buffer' to specify netlink socket buffer size
- o BSD: Assume onlink flag on ifaces with only host addresses
-
- Notes:
-
- For OSPF on PtP network, BIRD now sends all packets to multicast AllSPFRouters
- address (as required in RFC 2328 8.1). This likely breaks setups with multiple
- neighbors on a network configured as PtP, which worked in previous versions.
- Such links should be configured as PtMP.

+  Since Linux 5.3, netlink socket can be flooded by route cache entries during
+  route table scan. This version mitigates that issue by using strict netlink
+  filtering.
