[Babel-users] ANNOUNCE: babeld-1.8.0

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

Dear all,

Babeld-1.8.0 is available from

    https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/files/babeld-1.8.0.tar.gz
    https://www.irif.fr/~jch//software/files/babeld-1.8.0.tar.gz.asc

For more information about babeld and the Babel routing protocol, please
see

    https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/babel/

This version includes a new configuration interface, which makes it
possible in particular to add interfaces at runtime without restarting the
daemon.  This is incompatible with the old monitoring interface, and will
require any monitoring software to be modified.

Other than that, some minor changes and correctness tweaks.

-- Juliusz

6 December 2016: babeld-1.8.0

  * Added the ability to reconfigure babeld dynamically from the
    monitoring interface.  This is an incompatible change.
  * Changed the configuration language to use an enumerated type instead
    of the "wired" boolean.  This is an incompatible change.
  * Setting max-rtt-penalty no longer enables timestamps.  This is an
    incompatible change.
  * Added PF_UNIX support to the local interface.  Thanks to Julien Cristau.
  * Made it possible to have a 0 channel number within the diversity extension,
    which is consistent with draft-chroboczek-babel-diversity-routing-01.
  * Fixed a bug (introduced in 1.7.0) that could cause spurious policy
    rules to be created in the kernel.  Thanks to Matthieu Boutier.
