OpenBGPD 8.2 released

2 October, 2023 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 8.2, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Update ASPA support to follow draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-16
      and draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16 by making the ASPA lookup
      tables AFI-agnostic.

    * Fix a fatal error in the Linux netlink parser which was triggered
      because of a mismatched netlink message size.

    * Rework UPDATE message generation to use the new ibuf API instead
      of the hand-rolled solution before. 

    * Improve error message in bgpctl for features not supported by the
      portable version of OpenBGPD.

    * Adjusted example GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN filter rule in the example config
      to only match on ebgp sessions.

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.
