Dear all, I am pleased to announce Babel 0.10, which you will find on
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/babel-0.10.tar.gz http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/babel-0.10.tar.gz.asc This version will automatically redistribute local addresses; it is no longer necessary to specify them using ``-X''. This is an incompatible change, but you can revert to the previous behaviour by specifying redistribute local deny in your /etc/babel.conf. This version will also automatically adapt to interfaces appearing and disappearing at runtime, which avoids the need to restart Babel when a VPN goes up or down. Some fairly significant improvements have been done to the speed with which Babel selects a new route when a neighbour goes down (as opposed to the case where the local node moves). Many thanks to Lilian for helping me debug that. Finally, Babel can now daemonise itself, which should simplify your init scripts. I strongly recommend upgrading from Babel 0.9 or earlier. Juliusz 11 March 2008: babel 0.10 * Implemented the ability to automatically export local addresses (see the ``local'' keyword in redistribute specifications). This should avoid the need to explicitly specify -X on the command line (Julien Cristau and Juliusz Chroboczek). * INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: local routes (local interface addresses) are now exported by default. Specify ``redistribute local deny'' to avoid that. * Babel will now automatically choose a router id if none is specified on the command line. * Automatically adapt to interfaces appearing or disappearing at runtime, as is usually the case when running over tunnels or VPNs. * Changed the link quality computation algorithm to not discard very lossy links. * Multi-hop requests will now be forwarded to an unfeasible successor under some circumstances. * Send multi-hop requests more aggressively. * Send requests for a new seqno upon receiving an unfeasible update if it's better than what we have. * No longer consider the age of routes in route selection. * Added ability to run as a daemon.
