[Babel-users] ANNOUNCE: babeld-1.13

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

Hi,

Babeld 1.13 is available from

  https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/files/babeld-1.13.tar.gz
  https://www.irif.fr/~jch/software/files/babeld-1.13.tar.gz.asc

For more information about the Babel routing protocol, please see

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

This version updates redistributed routes incrementally rather than
requesting a full route dump from the kernel every time a route changes.
This improves performance when there is a lot of churn in the kernel's
routing table.

We still request a full route dump every 5 minutes and compare it with our
version, and report a friendly warning if the two tables mismatch.  If you
see the warning, please report it, either here or on Github.

16 July 2023: babeld-1.13

  * Removed diversity support and related configuration file directives.
    This is an incompatible change.
  * Optimised route redistribution.  We now install just the route that the
    kernel sent us rather than doing a full route dump on every change.
  * Added optional delay to daemon shutdown; see the configuration option
    "shutdown-delay-ms".  Thanks to Daniel Gröber.
  * Fixed compilation under BSD.  Thanks to Antonin Décimo.
