Version 1.2.0 (2010-01-05)
|
||||
o Implements OSPFv3 (IPv6 support for OSPF). Because the code is
|
||||
shared with OSPFv2 and there were deep changes in it, we suggest
|
||||
caution during upgrade to OSPF users. Some advanced features
|
||||
(like NSSA, vlinks and authentication) are not yet implemented.
|
||||
o Implements MRTdump - binary logging protocol compatible with other
|
||||
routing daemons. Only BGP part of MRTdump is yet implemented.
|
||||
o Changes default value of BGP attribute LOCAL_PREF from 0 to 100.
|
||||
Use 'default bgp_local_pref 0' BGP protocol option for the old
|
||||
behavior. The new value is suggested by RFC 4277.
|
||||
o Changes default mode of pipes from opaque to transparent.
|
||||
Use 'mode opaque' protocol option if the old behavior is needed.
|
||||
Opaque pipe mode is deprecated and might be removed in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
Version 1.1.7 (2009-12-20)
|
||||
o Implements BGP Route Refresh (RFC 2918).
|
||||
o Implements route reload command.
