2018-07-28	BSD: Use MSG_DONTROUTE for unicast packets on FreeBSD	Ondrej Zajicek (work)
	BSD systems cannot use SO_DONTROUTE, because it does not work properly with multicast packets (perhaps it tries to find iface based on multicast group address). But we can use MSG_DONTROUTE sendmsg() flag for unicast packets. Works on FreeBSD, is ignored on OpenBSD and is broken on NetBSD (i guess due to integrated routing table and ARP table).
2015-04-25	KRT: Fixes learning of preferred kernel routes.	Ondrej Zajicek
	When a new route was imported from kernel and chosen as preferred, then the old best route was propagated as a withdraw to the kernel protocol. Under some circumstances such withdraw propagated to the BSD kernel could remove the new alien route and thus reverting the import.
2014-02-06	Many changes in I/O and OSPF sockets and packet handling.	Ondrej Zajicek
	I/O: - BSD: specify src addr on IP sockets by IP_HDRINCL - BSD: specify src addr on UDP sockets by IP_SENDSRCADDR - Linux: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IP_PKTINFO - IPv6: specify src addr on IP/UDP sockets by IPV6_PKTINFO - Alternative SKF_BIND flag for binding to IP address - Allows IP/UDP sockets without tx_hook, on these sockets a packet is discarded when TX queue is full - Use consistently SOL_ for socket layer values. OSPF: - Packet src addr is always explicitly set - Support for secondary addresses in BSD - Dynamic RX/TX buffers - Fixes some minor buffer overruns - Interface option 'tx length' - Names for vlink pseudoifaces (vlinkX) - Vlinks use separate socket for TX - Vlinks do not use fixed associated iface - Fixes TTL for direct unicast packets - Fixes DONTROUTE for OSPF sockets - Use ifa->ifname instead of ifa->iface->name
2012-04-30	Cleanup in sysdep KRT code, part 2.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Remove support for historic Linux kernels, merge krt-iface, krt-set and krt-scan stub headers.
2011-05-10	Allows run with restricted privileges.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Adds option -u and -g to specify user and group. When different user (than root) is specified, linux capabilities CAP_NET_* are kept.
2010-03-26	Disable multiple OSPF pseudointerfaces on BSD.	Ondrej Zajicek

2004-06-04	typo in README	Ondrej Filip

2004-06-03	CONFIG_SKIP_MC_BIND added.	Ondrej Filip
	BSD hates it, Linux needs it.
2004-06-01	#ifdef CONFIG_UNIX_DONTROUTE added.	Ondrej Filip

1999-12-16	Tried to clean up multicast handling. Now we don't try to guess	Martin Mares
	multicast abilities depending on definedness of symbols and use hard-wired system-dependent configuration defines instead. Please test whereever you can.
1999-08-03	Kernel route syncer supports multiple tables.	Martin Mares
	The changes are just too extensive for lazy me to list them there, but see the comment at the top of sysdep/unix/krt.c. The code got a bit more ifdeffy than I'd like, though. Also fixed a bunch of FIXME's and added a couple of others. :)
1999-04-12	Removed TOS support. This simplifies many things a lot.	Martin Mares

1999-04-03	Defined CONFIG_SELF_CONSCIOUS whenever the kernel scanner is able	Martin Mares
	to distinguish between our own routes and alien ones.
1999-03-27	Cleaned up system configuration files -- removed few obsolete parameters,	Martin Mares
	documented the remaining ones (sysdep/cf/README). Available configurations: o linux-20: Old Linux interface via /proc/net/route (selected by default on pre-2.1 kernels). o linux-21: Old Linux interface, but device routes handled by the kernel (selected by default for 2.1 and newer kernels). o linux-22: Linux with Netlink (I play with it a lot yet, so it isn't a default). o linux-ipv6: Prototype config for IPv6 on Linux. Not functional yet.
