OpenBGPD 8.0 released

4 May, 2023 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 8.0, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Include OpenBSD 7.3 errata 001:
      A new ASPA object appeared in the RPKI ecosystem and exposed bugs in
      bgpd(8) and rpki-client(8). 

    * Introduce a semaphore to protect intermittent RTR session data 
      from being published to the RDE.

    * Add first version of flowspec support. Right now only announcement
      of flowspec rules is possible.

    * Improve and extend the bgpctl parser to handle commands like
      `bgpctl show rib 192.0.2.0/24 detail`. Also add various flowspec
      specific commands.

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.
