21 April 2020: babeld-1.9.2
* Fixed two issues that could cause IPv4 routes to be represented
incorrectly, with a range of confusing symptoms. Thanks to
Fabian Bläse.
* Fixed incorrect parsing of TLVs with an unknown Address Encoding.
Thanks to Théophile Bastian.
* Fixed access to mis-aligned data structure. Thanks to Antonin Décimo.

"pref_src" are given as example.

20 August 2019: babeld-1.9.1
* Fixed a crash that could happen when unicast and RTT estimation are
both enabled on an interface. Thanks to Dave Taht.
* Fixed compilation under BSD. Thanks to Dave Taht.
4 August 2019: babeld-1.9.0
* Reworked buffering of unicast packets to use a per-neighbour buffer
rather than a single buffer per interface. This makes unicast as
efficient as multicast, at the cost of slightly higher memory usage.
* Added option "unicast" that allows sending most TLVs over unicast.
This is necessary for the DTLS extension.
* Implemented parsing of unicast Hellos. This makes it possible to
interoperate with neighbours that only speak unicast (e.g. over some
kinds of tunnels that only do unicast).
* Implemented sending of unscheduled unicast Hellos. This makes the
RTT extension work over unicast too.
* Reworked the xroute data structures to use binary search and
linear-time comparison.
* Don't attempt to modify the rp_filter sysctl if it already has the
desired value; this makes it possible to run babeld in an
unpriviledged container. Thanks to Christof Schulze.
* Reinstated logging of late hellos. Thanks to Dave Taht.
* Don't send wildcard requests or Hellos to newish nodes. This makes
acquisition of new neighbours slower, but drastically reduces noise at
startup. Thanks to Teco Boot.
* Remove an arbitrary limit on the number of interfaces. Thanks to
Christof Schulze.
* Removed class E from martian filter. Thanks to Dave Taht.
* Added the ability to set the preferred source address in install filters.
Thanks to Killian Lufau.
* Fixed a number of read-only buffer overflows. Thanks to Leo Stefanesco.

This applies some style improvements to make this ready for
migration to openwrt/packages.

Changes:
* Fixed a bug that caused confustion between learned routes and
imported routes (thanks to Fabian Bläse).
* Fixed a bug that prevented install filters from being evaluated
(thanks to Killian Lufau).

Killing anything with -9 is a bad idea. When killed this way, babeld
won't be able to properly disassociate from its neighbours, withdraw its
announced routes or remove routes from the kernel.
This got introduced in bab933d4ca ("babeld: Update to version 1.8.3 +
fix init") with an unrelated change. The purpose of the change is unclear
because stopping and restarting babeld worked fine without this change.

9 November 2018: babeld-1.8.4
* Fixed a bug that discarded pipelined commands received on the local
configuration interface.
* Added the per-interface option rfc6126-compatible.

24 September 2018: babeld-1.8.3
* Fixed a read-only two byte buffer overflow in the packet parser.
This is a read-only overflow, and hence most probably not exploitable.
* Fixed an issue with creating unreachable routes on recent kernels
(4.16 and up). Thanks to Christof Schulze.
* Notice interface changes faster by listening to more netlink events.
Thanks to Christof Schulze.
* Fixed a local interface issue when an interface has no link-local
address. Thanks to Christof Schulze.
Also, the init script was edited to kill babeld on stop; restart works properly now, as well.

This is a very basic cleanup, several packages needs more work
but this at least drops git for https and removes the use of
PKG_MD5SUM and some minor fixes.

It makes the init script more readable. It has been more than two years
since babeld 1.5.1, let's hope nobody is still using the old
(undocumented) option names.
Incidentally, this commit fixes support for the "conf_dir" option,
introduced by ac643416dc ("babeld: allow changing alternative
configuration file and directory"). The default value of $OTHERCONFIGDIR
was always used, because the variable was used *before* it was (possibly)
redefined when parsing the UCI config.

This way, "/etc/init.d/babeld reload" will detect when one of these
dynamic config files has changed, and restart babeld only if that is the
case.
Dynamic config files where introduced by 82d9002689 ("babeld: add support
for dynamic config files").

This avoids running out of flash or RAM space if babeld logs too much.
The system log is stored on RAM by default and has a controlled size.
It is still possible to tell babeld to log to a file, by using the
following in /etc/config/babeld:
config general
option log_file "/var/log/babeld.log"

There is a HTTP redirection in place from the old URL to the new URL, but
better change it now than waiting for the redirection to disappear.

The symbol IPV6 is a global config symbol, don't select it because it
will override the user decision of IPV6 as all other package in base do
it. A select (+) will also create a recursive dependency error.

When parsing list options using config_load option_cb will be called
with additional options ending in _ITEM$x and _LENGTH. This ignores any
option containing _LENGTH or _ITEM as they can't possible be a valid
babeld option making a config like
config general
list import_table 23
list import_table 42
work.

16 June 2015: babeld-1.6.1.
* Fixed a buffer overflow in zone_equal. This is probably not
exploitable, but might cause incorrect routing tables in the presence
of source-specific routing.
* Added support for defaulting ipv6-subtrees automatically based on the
kernel version.
* Fixed compilation under musl.

14 April 2014: babeld-1.6.0
* Added support for source-specific routing. Thanks to Matthieu Boutier.
* Added support for reflecting metrics as kernel priorities. Thanks to
Pierre Pfister.
* Worked around a Linux kernel bug with an infinite EAGAIN loop. Thanks
to Dave Taht.
* Changed wildcard updates to not set flag 0x40. Reported by Markus
Stenberg.
* Made ipv6-subtrees a runtime option. Thanks to Matthieu Boutier.

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)
