From syed.khalid at xorp.net Thu Jan 8 19:35:08 2009 From: syed.khalid at xorp.net (Syed Khalid) Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2009 19:35:08 -0800 Subject: [Xorp-announce] XORP announces Release 1.6 Message-ID: Dear XORP community members, We are pleased to announce release 1.6 of the XORP codebase to the world! The XORP team and contributors have worked very hard over the last 6 months and 1.6 is a huge milestone in the history of the XORP project. As many of you know, XORP is now commercially backed by two well-known and highly-respected venture capitalists, and one of the benefits for the XORP community is the additional amount of resources we have been able to bring to the project. These increased resources have resulted in our ability to release 1.6 just months after our announcement of XORP, Inc and release 1.5. In terms of project milestones, 1.6 marks the first time we have put the codebase through a comprehensive and rigorous QA process, using some of the leading test tools in the market for layer 3 testing. Furthermore, here are some of the key improvements in the 1.6 codebase, based on your contributions and user feedback: - Significantly improved memory performance on the BGP code (especially in scenarios with many peers) - XRL performance improvements - Improved policy code - RIP tracing capabilities - *NEW* VRRP support - Numerous bug fixes (entire list is in 1.6 Release Notes available at http://www.xorp.org/releases/1.6/docs/RELEASE_NOTES Of late, we have noticed more users incorporating XORP into their projects, both non-profit and commercial and want to continue to encourage the community to do so. With the recent world financial crisis, organizations will be looking more to open-source as a cost-effective alternative to the high premiums other networking vendors charge, so help us spread the word about XORP.org and help all of us build the momentum behind open-source networking! Thank you very much for your interest and continued participation in the XORP open networking platform project. We appreciate the help and support the community has shown us over the years and hope that you will enjoy this latest release. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info at xorp.net. --The XORP Team -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
