OpenBGPD 8.6 released

19 September, 2024 by claudio@openbsd.org | openbsd
We have released OpenBGPD 8.6, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * Filtered prefixes are now included in the Local-RIB if the config
      option 'rde rib Loc-RIB include filtered' is set.

    * Add 'bgpctl show rib filtered' to show filtered prefixes.

    * Add 'min-version' RTR config option and default to RTR version 1.
      Set min-version to 2 to enable draft-ietf-sidrops-8210bis-14 and
      ASPA support or better define the ASPA table in the config.

    * Adjust RTR ASPA pdu parser to follow draft-ietf-sidrops-8210bis-14

    * Check the max_prefix and max_out_prefix limits on config reload.

    * Fix race condition between TCP-MD5 key removal and session closure
      to ensure all messages are sent with the proper TCP-MD5 signature.

    * Fix 'nexthop qualify via bgp' by re-evaluating the nexthops when
      a BGP route is added to the FIB.

    * Handle the CLUSTER_LIST attribute according to RFC7606.

    * Fix some undefined or non-portable behaviour when handling
      NULL / 0-sized objects.

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.
