OpenBGPD 7.4 released

14 June, 2022 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 7.4, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Implement max-communities filter to limit the number of allowed
      communities, ext-communities and large-communities.

    * Fix TCP-MD5 support on Linux systems. The TCP-MD5 keys were not
      correctly loaded on the listening sockets, which allowed unprotected
      connections in. 

    * Fix insertion of additional non-transitive extended communities when
      sending out prefixes.

    * Relax IP address limitation by allowing prefixes in 240/4.

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.
