This release fixes some major bugs with OSPF and GRE.
Highlights are below:
Release 1.8.5
* Fix bad OSPF bug that made neighbours very slow to go to Full
state in large and/or lossy OSPF router configurations. Thanks
to Iqor for access to test systems and for funding this effort.
* Compile in build-information to better track versions in logs and
bug reports.
* Optimize logging to check the log level before doing the work to
create the logging messages. Simplify a lot of the related code.
Runtime should be faster, but executable size is slightly larger.
* netbsd: Fix compile on netbsd, properly detect IPv6 Multicast
routing support, fix a few bugs related to multicast. It *might*
work now, but seeing spurious failures when trying the MRT6_ADD_MIF
call. Thanks to Uwe <6bone at 6bone.informatik.uni-leipzig.de> for
access to netbsd boxes and testing work.
* Fix multicast over GRE tunnels. Anything else over GRE also has
a chance to work now. Thanks to J G Miller for bug reporting and
testing.
* ARM: Fix raw-sockets on some ARM platforms. The scons checks
were lame at best. They are still suspect, but now unknown will
be treated as supporting IPV4 raw input/output. If we find other
systems that do NOT support this (freebsd, netbsd??), we can update
the scons accordingly and/or find a way to do the detection more
proper. Thanks to J G Miller for doing tests on his ARM box.
* Fix compile on Ubuntu 11.10 (and perhaps other recent systems).
Please follow the various links at www.xorp.org for full release notes, binary
downloads, source-code, etc.
Please post to the list if you notice any problems.
Thanks,
Ben
