Dear BIRD Users,we are releasing version 2.16 of BIRD. We added support for ASPA, made filters better, there are also several new handy features in BFD and OSPF, and we massively optimized BMP.
Considering out-of tree code, there is TCP-AO which we expect to merge soon, and EVPN support where we are still looking for more input on how the features should actually look like from the users' point of view.
There is one minor breaking change: the CLI dump commands now require a filename where to dump the information.
Last but not least, we described our contributions and credits policy. Most notably, if there is a pending patch from you with no answer from us within last three weeks, please resend it. We don't intend to ghost you, we are just overloaded.
Version 2.16 (2024-12-04) o BFD: Set password per session o BFD: Accept zero checksum for IPv6-UDP o BMP: Refactoring and optimization o OSPF: Allow loopback nexthop in OSPFv3-IPv4 o RPKI: TCP-MD5 authentication option o Filters: Add enum types to filter grammar o CLI: Configurable additional control sockets o CLI: Timeformat command o CLI: Dump commands need a target file o ASPA support in filters, Static and RPKI o Formalized contributions and credits policy o Many bugfixes and improvements Happy routing!
