Hi Folks !!! Well, I must admit I took time =8-D but... finally here it is. I just released new code on website as a BUNCH PENDING MERGE release... In a next effort I will focus my work on keepalived / VRRP to to support IPv6... IPv4 exhaustion is on the corner and every apps must be ported to v6 to provide traffic shift from v4 to v6 ! to prevent against CGN mass-deployement which will inevitablely slow-down Internet and break designs !
ChangeLog for this release is : 2009-02-15 Alexandre Cassen <[email protected]> * keepalived-1.1.16 released. * Code clean-up. * Stefan Rompf, <[email protected]> extended scheduler to synchronize signal handling by sending the signal number through a self pipe, making signals select()able. Child reaping has been moved to a simple signal synchronous signal handler. Signal shutdown handling has been centralized. * Denis Ovsienko, <[email protected]> extended healthchecker framework to support alpha/omega design. It provides virtual service control in a more fine-graned maner. You may have a look to the SYNOPSIS file to have full picture on configation. It addresses the following issues : - A virtual service is considered up even with an empty RS pool. - There is no reliable mean to avoid service regression, when the server pool becomes too small. - There is no mean to escalate any of the above fault/recovery events. - Real servers are assumed alive initially. This leads to unnecessary state flap on keepalived start. - notify_down isn't executed for working real servers on keepalived shutdown. - There is no reliable mean to handle keepalived stop to move the virtual service over another load balancer. * Stephan Mayr, <[email protected]> fixed default value for checker loop... a missing TIMER_HZ. * Merge keepalived.init.suse. * Robin Garner, <[email protected]> added support to --log-console facility. * Tobias Klausmann, <[email protected]> fixed an openfile leak while performing reload. * Leo Baltus, <[email protected]> extended pidfile handling to allow keepalived to start using configurated pidfile. * VRRP : Siim Poder, <[email protected]> fixed IPSEC AH auth to skip IPv4 id field of zero. If zeroed kernel will fill it and lead to an unwanted protocol re-election. * VRRP : Siim Poder, <[email protected]> fixed reloading issue. New ip addresses are added (from configuration). State is kept instead of starting from whatever is in configuration file. If prios are changed in such a way, state change can occur after reload. * VRRP : Vincent Bernat, <[email protected]> extended virtual_route to support virtual "black hole" route as well as multihop route. * VRRP : Stig Thormodsrud, <[email protected]> fixed a crash while using virtual_router_id set to 255. * VRRP: Jon DeVree, <[email protected]> fixed arp handling to to initialize the target hardware address, using 0xff as found in arping. Let scripts work without dealing with weight, if the script fails, VRRP fails. * VRRP : Pierre-Yves Ritschard, <[email protected]> removed the GOTO_FAULT state from FSM. * VRRP : Willy Tarreau, <[email protected]> fixed link detection handling to support right ioctl values for recent kernel ! It can lead to issue while running instance on a bonding interface. * VRRP : Willy Tarreau, <[email protected]> extended scheduler to catch time drift. It implements an internal monotonic clock. It maintains an offset between sysclock and monotonic clock, if computed time if anterior to monotonic time then just update offset. If time computed if fare away into the future then limit delay and recompute offset. * VRRP : Willy Tarreau, <[email protected]> fixed autoconf issues.
