This allows to use the old syntax "config interface foo" for specifying an
interface. The new syntax ("option ifname foo") takes precedence.
Also, old option names for the "general" section are translated
accordingly. Exceptions are:
- 'hello_interval' and 'wired_hello_interval', which are now interface-specific;
- 'conf_file', since /etc/babeld.conf is now always used;
which are simply ignored.
Beware, the syntax for the 'diversity' option is not backward compatible.
Previously, we were using the name of the section as the interface name,
but this has several drawbacks:
- no "-" or other special characters are allowed in a section name,
preventing some physical interface names to be specified this way
(e.g. "tun-topeka" would not work)
- it is harder to support default interface options (no interface name)
This change is not backward compatible, but a later commit will fix that.
This is the first step toward fixing issue #33.
This still lacks some features:
- no support for "ignore" options
- no backward compatibility for option names
- no support for default interface options
22 May 2014: babeld-1.5.0
* Added support for an RTT-based metric -- see the description of
"enable-timestamps" in the manual page. This work was done by
Baptiste Jonglez with help from Matthieu Boutier.
- Update maintainer email address
- Wait for babel to die in init script (avoid race-condition on restart)
