We have released OpenBGPD 7.0, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.
This release includes the following changes to the previous release:
* Stop processing queued UPDATES when the max-prefix limit was reached.
* Improve negotiation for route refresh, graceful restart and
multi-protocol capabilities
* Correctly track 'rde evaluate all' and 'export' settings during reload.
* Properly withdraw prefixes when 'rde evaluate all' is used.
* Fix MRT handling on initial startup for message dump types.
* Fix and use non-blocking connect for RTR sessions.
* Fully implement RFC 6286 by checking for BGP ID collisions.
* Adjust the 4-byte AS number handling to RFC 6793 by changing error
behaviour from prefix witdraw to attribute discard.
* In bgpctl print out both the sent "Neighbor capabilities" and the
"Negotiated capabilities" for a session.
* Print timestamps both as a formatted and a pure time in seconds
filed in various JSON objects.
OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD, and
the Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu.
It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portable
to more distributions.
We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.
