Monday January 31, 2005 Random ramblings
Monday January 31, 2005 Quagga 0.98.1 has been released. The CVS changelog tells the full story, but essentially it boils down to fixing two silly bugs which had gotten into the .0 release. One affecting ospfd where MD5 auth was enabled and one causing bgpd to needlessly resend UPDATEs every scan interval and induce needless load. Additionally there's a working fix for an odd ospfd crash, the true origin of which has not been nailed, but its symptom has been dealt with.
The signs so far are that 0.98.1 is a good yin. yay!

After a week in which at least two US army helicopters and an RAF Hercules crashed due to as yet unknown causes, Afghani authorities announced they were seeking to try persuade the population to hand in any old stinger missiles they might still have lying around.

[Update]: Retest, picking equivalently nerdly answers for questions where no answer fits me (eg calculator doesnt have a "bc + gnuplot" option, so I chose HP RPN on retest):
Friday January 07, 2005 Quagga has a new stable release, 0.98.0, at last.
Mostly a lot of bug fixing and a lot of clean ups, but a noteworthy new feature is per-client BGP RIBs for route-servers, along with the needed route-map extensions to allow one to filter updates between each client according their policies, thanks to Jose Luis Rubio. The only other BGP implementation I know of that has anything like this is Merit's RSng. Additionally route-maps can now call other route-maps, which should help people who have to maintain route-maps which differ only slightly, and Solaris 10 joins the list of fully supported systems!
