We have released OpenBGPD 8.8, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

* Improve default multiproto capability announcement selection.
The default MP capability is only set if no other capability is
configured on the neighbor.

* The `reject as-set` configuration option now defaults to yes.
Route announcements with AS_SET segments in the AS_PATH Attribute
will be rejected. See draft-ietf-idr-deprecate-as-set-confed-set
for more information.

* The RFC 8654 Extended Message configuration changed from
"announce extended (yes|no|enforce)" to
"announce extended message (yes|no|enforce)"

* RFC 8950 - Extended nexthop encoding support in the RIB.

* Preliminary support for EVPN in the RIB.

* When "transparent-as yes" is set, well-known BGP communities are
passed on according to RFC 7947. This means that IX Route Servers
transparently pass through NO_EXPORT, NO_ADVERTISE, etc.

* Fix an error introduced in the previous release that prevented
sessions from staying down.

* Fix add-path send support using best, ecmp, or as-wide-best mode
which was not working correctly in the previous release.

* Fix FIB handling on FreeBSD when an interface is destroyed.

* Make the example bgpd.conf work out of the box with 4byte ASN.

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.
