OpenBGPD 6.8p0 released

20 October, 2020 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 6.8p0, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This is the first stable release for the 6.8 version. It includes
the following changes:

 * In bgpctl(8), the "reload" command now takes a 'reason' argument
   to use as Administrative Shutdown Communication to its neighbors.

 * Added bgpctl(8) support for VPNv6 in the family option of the
   "show rib" command.

 * Added bgpctl(8) support for JSON formatted output in various
   "show" commands.

 * Support to build OpenBGPD on Alpine Linux added

OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD, and
the Linux distributions Debian, Ubuntu and Alpine Linux. 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.
