rpki-client-7.3 released

[Sebastian Benoit]

rpki-client 7.3 has just been released and will be available in the
rpki-client directory of any OpenBSD mirror soon.

rpki-client is a FREE, easy-to-use implementation of the Resource
Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) for Relying Parties (RP) to
facilitate validation of the Route Origin of a BGP announcement. The
program queries the RPKI repository system and outputs Validated ROA
Payloads in the configuration format of OpenBGPD, BIRD, and also as
CSV or JSON objects for consumption by other routing stacks.

See RFC 6811 for a description of how BGP Prefix Origin Validation
secures the Internet's global routing system.

rpki-client was primarily developed by Kristaps Dzonsons, Claudio
Jeker, Job Snijders, Theo Buehler, Theo de Raadt and Sebastian Benoit
as part of the OpenBSD Project.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

 * Improve the HTTP client code (status code handling, http proxy
   support, keep-alive).
 * In RRDP, do not access URI with userinfo (@-sign)
 * Improve RRDP syncing by considering a notification file serial
   jumping backwards as synced repository.
 * Make -R (rsync only) also apply to the fetching of TA files.
 * Only sync *.{cer,crl,gbr,mft,roa} files via rsync and exclude all others.
 * When producing output for OpenBGPd, make use of the 'roa-set
   expires' attribute to prevent machines from loading outdated roa-sets.
 * In RRDP, limit the number of deltas to 300 per repo. If more deltas
   exist, downloading a full snapshot is faster.
 * Limit the validation depth of X509 certificate chains to 12, double
   the current depth seen in RPKI.

rpki-client works on all operating systems with a libcrypto library
based on OpenSSL 1.1 or LibreSSL 3.3, and a libtls library compatible
with LibreSSL 3.3 or later.

rpki-client is known to compile and run on at least the following
operating systems: Alpine, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Red Hat,
Rocky, Ubuntu, macOS, and of course OpenBSD!

It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt
rpki-client-portable to more distributions.

The mirrors where rpki-client can be found are on
https://www.rpki-client.org/portable.html

We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.

OpenBGPD 7.2 released

[Claudio Jeker]

We have released OpenBGPD 7.2, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

* Support for RFC 9072 - Extended Optional Parameters Lenght for
  BGP OPEN Message

* Support for RFC 8050 - MRT Format with BGP Additional Path Extensions

* Implement receive side of RFC 7911 - Advertisement of Multiple Paths
  in BGP. OpenBGPD is currently not able to send multiple paths out.

* Improve checks of VRPs loaded via RTR or from the roa-set table.

* Allow to optionally specify an expiry time for roa-set entries to
  mitigate BGP route decision making based on outdated RPKI data.
  OpenBGPD's companion rpki-client(8) produces roa-sets with the
  new 'expires' property

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.
