I was waiting that Maria would bring the news to this mail-list. But I'm a bit anxious...
Excellent reading material! https://en.blog.nic.cz/2022/02/09/bird-journey-to-threads-chapter-3-parallel-execution-and-message-passing/ Things that I found important, and I believe are interesting to highlight: "Version 3.0-alpha0 (2022-02-07)" Wow! Version 3 instead of v2.1... https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/commit/935c066402d56d9b01ae41527c2e760d189b01f9 "Version 2.0.9 (2022-02-09) o Filter: Faster (16-way) prefix sets" Performance improvements at the master release! This is great! https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/commit/71c9484b00b4428ae6c7d7c8eea6d96073683a54 Em qui., 27 de jan. de 2022 às 11:58, Maria Matejka <maria.mate...@nic.cz> escreveu: > Hello! > > I hope for something (Pipe and RPKI in threads) very, very soon.
