Age	Commit message (Collapse)	Author
2011-10-10	Fixes for include.	Ondrej Zajicek

2011-09-11	Configuration can include other files.	Ondrej Filip

2011-08-16	The generalized TTL security mechanism (RFC 5082) support.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the patch.
2011-05-15	Update and document the privilege restriction.	Ondrej Zajicek

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.
2011-04-28	Use constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_* files.	Ondrej Zajicek

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>.
2010-02-06	Adds some log messages related to configure.	Ondrej Zajicek
	Also fixes a bug in the previous patch.
2009-11-26	Fix -p option.	Ondrej Zajicek

2009-11-19	Implement option to exit after config file parsing.	Ondrej Zajicek

2009-11-13	After shutdown, BIRD should have exit code 0.	Ondrej Zajicek

2009-11-13	Fixes BIRD socket unlink.	Ondrej Zajicek

2009-07-14	Fixes bug in CLI TX buffer management.	Ondrej Zajicek

2009-06-19	Adds support for soft reconfiguration.	Ondrej Zajicek

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.
1999-12-06	Logging is now configurable. You can define multiple log outputs (to both	Martin Mares
	files and syslog) and assign lists of message categories to each of them.
1999-10-31	The CLI I/O functions work as desired.	Martin Mares

1999-10-29	First steps of the Command Line Interface: I/O routines.	Martin Mares

1999-04-02	Believe it or not, printf()'s does not work too much without this one.	Pavel Machek

1999-03-29	Clarify resource dumps and include them in the main debugging dump.	Martin Mares

1999-03-26	Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.	Martin Mares
	o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started. o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that it will be possible to feed different device routes to different routing tables once multiple tables get supported). See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
1999-03-04	Use dmalloc instead of EFence when available (dmalloc has lot of improvements	Martin Mares
	over EFence and also hopefully smaller memory overhead, but sadly it's non-free for commercial use). If the DMALLOC_OPTIONS environment variable is not set, switch on `reasonable' checks by default. Also introduced mb_allocz() for cleared mb_alloc().
