Version 2.0.0 has been released

2008-01-10 Thread Alan T DeKok
January 10, 2007 - Version 2.0.0 has been released.

We are pleased to announce that Version 2.0.0  has been released.
This version is a tremendous step forward in functionality for the server.

  See http://freeradius.org for more information, including downloads,
and major updates to the web site.


Feature Improvements

 * simple policy language (see man unlang)
 * virtual servers (raddb/sites-available/README)
 * IPv6 support
 * better proxy support (raddb/proxy.conf)
 * More EAP types
 * Debugging output should be emmuch/em easier to understand
 * VMPS support
 * More modules have been moved to stable status (python, etc.)
 * SQL configuration has been cleaned up (see raddb/sql/*)
 * limited support for HUP.  (The configuration for some modules is
   re-loaded on HUP.  Nothing else is reloaded.)
 * check configuration and exit (radiusd -C)
 * Server core is now event based (simpler, more powerful)

Bug Fixes

 * The server re-design has resulted in simple fixes for many issues
   that were too difficult to correct in Version 1.1.x.

  Alan DeKok.

This is great news Alan! Any idea if a *BSD port is going to be released 
for it soon? I would love to see the Oracle module fixed so it can be 
selected/built from the configure menu (hint hint, eye twitch - David 
Wood).


Cheers,

Mike

Excellent ! Christ it's been a long time coming, but the improvements 
over 1.1.7 are incredible.


Step 1 in ushering in a new age of NAC :)

Congrats,

  The ports should be updated at some point...

  One goal of 2.0 was to be backwards compatible with 1.1.x as much as
possible.  So in *most* cases that I'm aware of, the old configuration
files should also work in 2.0.

  i.e. I don't recall any cases where they won't work.

  This makes port upgrades a lot easier.

FreeBSD port for 2.0.0 (was: Version 2.0.0 has been released)

After a long delay (nearly two months), 2.0.0-pre2 got committed to the 
FreeBSD ports tree yesterday under my maintainership - it's the 
net/freeradius-devel port.


We needed to start somewhere with FreeRADIUS 2.x - and that was it. 
Actually, I was about to call off that commit waiting for 2.0.0 to 
release, especially as Alan DeKok had said that the 2.0.0-pre2 tarball 
would be withdrawn - but it's too late now.



I am about to start working on an update of that port to 2.0.0 - and it 
will likely be renamed net/freeradius2 at the same time, as it's no 
longer a development version. My part of this isn't likely to take too 
long (hopefully 12 hours to submit the FreeBSD PR barring unexpected 
problems as I start to work on it this evening), but getting it 
committed to the FreeBSD ports tree will take longer.



Oracle support won't be in the initial port; I want to update the port 
with its existing database support to 2.0.0 first so that we can 
encourage people to start migrating to 2.x.



I will try to look at Oracle later on - but any pointers you can give me 
would be welcome, as the bsd.database.mk setup doesn't support Oracle, 
so the overhead for supporting Oracle in a port is rather higher than 
for databases supported by bsd.database.mk (from memory, that's MySQL, 
PostgreSQL, SQLite, Firebird and Berkeley DB). I don't have an Oracle 
setup to test with here; my only SQL server runs MySQL, though I'm 
considering moving some databases to PostgreSQL.


You said that you'd hacked the net/freeradius port to build with Oracle 
support. If you can send me a diff of what you did, that would be 
helpful so that I can unpick your work and incorporate it into the port. 
If you can change the arguments to configure rather than hacking the 
configure script (or configure.in), even better!



As Alan DeKok has now fixed the problem with the bzip2 tarball for 
2.0.0, I'm just about to update my Subversion development repository 
with the committed version of net/freeradius-devel, then set about 
updating it for 2.0.0 release.



Best wishes,




David
