Dear all,

Babeld-1.7.0 is available from

  http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/files/babeld-1.7.0.tar.gz

  http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/files/babeld-1.7.0.tar.gz.asc

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

  http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/~jch/software/babel/

A lot of internal changes in this version -- the disambiguation code has
been cleaned up and the data structures made more efficient.  There's some
more work to do in this direction, but this version appears to be stable
and efficient.

The only user-visible change is that babeld now embeds its version -- see
the -V flag in the manual page and the "version" line in the configuration
interface.

Enjoy.

3 February 2016: babeld-1.7.0

  * Added the ability to choose the kernel routing table on a per-route
    basis.  Thanks to Matthieu Boutier.
  * Refactored the disambiguation code to live above the kernel interface.
    Thanks to Matthieu Boutier.
  * Reworked the source table to function in log time.
  * Optimised the disambiguation code to avoid scanning all routes in
    non-source-specific networks.  Thanks to Matthieu Boutier.
  * Modified the triggered updates logic to no longer send multihop
    requests.  This makes babeld slightly less noisy, at the cost of
    slightly longer reconvergence after mobility.
  * Increased the token bucket limits, which some large meshes are
    starting to hit.
  * Increased the size of the netlink socket buffer.
