From Claudio Jeker@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 26 21:10:13 2024
We have released OpenBGPD 8.5, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.
This release includes the following changes to the previous release:
* Include OpenBSD 7.5 errata 004:
Repair a withdraw desyncronization problem in bgpd(8).
Affected are OpenBGPD 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4.
* Fix Linux TCP MD5 autoconf detection and improve the code to work
in all cases.
* Double peer description length to 64 characters.
* Improve handling of bgpd AFI IPv4 sessions over IPv6 only links.
* Sessions over IPv6 link-local addresses are now always considered
to be connected.
* Allow operators to enforce the presence of certain capabilities.
* Improve capability negotiation and remove 'announce capabilities'.
The 'announce capabilities [yes|no]' neighbor config option needs to be
removed from configuration files. Instead individual capabilities
need to be disabled.
* Improve negotiation of the multi-protocol capability and the fallback
to IPv4 only mode.
* Mark RTR and IPv6 BGP packets with DSCP CS6 (network control).
* Increase RTR PDU limit to 48k and limit number of SPAS to 10'000.
* Convert the remaining session engine parsers to the new ibuf API.
* Various changes to autoconf and portable headers for NetBSD support.
OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD and the
Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu.
It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portable
to more distributions.
We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.
