2010-04-07	Configurable syslog name.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Also fixes a bug in syslog initialization.
2010-03-17	Adds check for no protocol and some minor CLI fixes.	Ondrej Zajicek
	- Adds check to deny config file with no specified protocol to prevent loading of empty config file. - Moves CLI init before config parse to receive immediate error message when cannot open control socket. - Fixes socket name path check and other error handling in CLI init.
2010-02-21	Restricted read-only CLI.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Also adds support for executing commands using birdc <cmd>.

2008-08-24	Close fd of config file after reconfiguration.	Ondrej Filip

2007-06-20	Detach from the TTY properly.	Martin Mares

2004-06-06	Test old instance of BIRD.	Ondrej Filip

2004-06-05	Marked unused parameters in sysdep code as such.	Martin Mares

2004-06-02	Deleted useless rfree. (Socked was freed by cli_free())	Ondrej Filip

2004-05-31	Move CLI socket to the newly created CLI's pool.	Martin Mares
	(thanks to Andreas for the original idea)
2004-05-31	Rewritten the I/O loop. All socket operations are now safe, meaning that	Martin Mares
	you can delete the socket from anywhere in the hooks and nothing should break. Also, the receive/transmit buffers are now regular xmalloc()'ed buffers, not separate resources which would need shuffling around between pools. sk_close() is gone, use rfree() instead.
2004-05-31	Fix handling on full pipe to client in bird. Prevent packet overflows	Martin Mares
	for even only medium sized route table output. Fix a strange garbled output problem in the client. The latter seems to be caused by some library doing tcflush while there is still command output pending. So the best fix here is to do fflush and then tcdrain. Note that this problem occurs only under certain load situations and is not too easy to reproduce. (by Andreas)
2004-05-31	*BSD port added. (Tested on FreeBSD and NetBSD)	Ondrej Filip

2000-06-19	If compiled with --enable-debug, don't even try to log to syslog unless	Martin Mares
	the user forces it in the config file.
2000-06-09	During initialization, log to both syslog and stderr. When a configuration	Martin Mares
	file has been read and it doesn't specify any logging, log to syslog only (if syslog is not available, then stderr).
2000-05-29	Tracing of CLI connections/commands can be now controlled	Martin Mares
	by `debug commands <level>' in the configuration. Level 0 means no tracing, 1 means connections only, 2 includes all commands.
2000-05-29	Support --version and --help.	Martin Mares

2000-05-08	Fixed type in daemonization code.	Martin Mares

2000-05-08	When not debugging, daemonize automatically.	Martin Mares

2000-05-04	#ifdef out lots of debugging information.	Martin Mares
	The long resource/routing table dump printed upon startup is gone now and if you wish to see it, just send bird SIGUSR1 or use the `debug' commands.
2000-04-27	Fixed a couple of nasty CLI bugs which were triggered on long or multi-part	Martin Mares
	outputs. It took a whole evening to hunt them down, but now the CLI seems to work fine. Now I run three BGP connections with several thousand routes!
2000-04-26	Changed handling of incoming connections, so that we can send data	Martin Mares
	from the send hook without worrying about existence of socket buffers. Also, don't forget to copy peer addresses.
2000-04-01	Changed initialization of protocol list -- now we call proto_build() instead	Martin Mares
	of calling the protocols manually. Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'. Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class, set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes. The callback can return one of the following results: GA_UNKNOWN Attribute not recognized. GA_NAME Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer, generic code should format the value. GA_FULL Both attribute name and value put to the buffer. Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide the attr_class and formatting hook.
2000-03-31	Include "lib/string.h" instead of <string.h>. It should give us bzero()	Martin Mares
	and other non-portable functions on all systems.
2000-03-30	Defined sk_close() which closes the socket safely even if called from	Martin Mares
	socket hook. Replaces the SK_DELETED hack. Squashed a couple of bugs in handling of TCP sockets.
2000-03-12	Fixed a bunch of FIXME's by removing them :)	Martin Mares

2000-03-12	Great cleanup of debug messages. LOCAL_DEBUG turned off in most modules,	Martin Mares
	several debug() calls converted to DBG().
2000-01-16	Converted shutdown to a kind of reconfiguration, it's no more handled	Martin Mares
	as a exception in protocol state machines. Introduced a `shutdown' CLI command. Killed few reconfiguration bugs.
2000-01-16	First attempt on dynamic reconfiguration. There are still lots of bugs	Martin Mares
	and problems to solve, but the hardest part works.
1999-12-09	Added universal locking mechanism which will solve problems	Martin Mares
	with protocols wanting to use the same port on the same interface during reconfiguration time. How to use locks: In the if_notify hook, just order locks for the interfaces you want to work with and do the real socket opening after the lock hook function gets called. When you stop using the socket, close it and rfree() the lock. Please update your protocols to use the new locking mechanism.
1999-12-08	- Path to control socket is selectable via command-line option.	Martin Mares
	- die() when control socket open failed.
