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().
1999-03-03	Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.	Martin Mares
	The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module and OS dependent submodules: - krt.c (the generic part) - krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling) - krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning) - krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes) krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc), Netlink substitues all three modules. We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change; not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these primitive operations.
1999-02-13	Perform gracious shutdown upon receipt of SIGTERM. Finally we can	Martin Mares
	test the whole protocol shutdown code... :)
1999-02-13	Synchronize signals to the main select/event/timer loop.	Martin Mares
	Parse command line options.
1999-02-11	Run the event queue before writing SIGUSR dumps.	Martin Mares

1999-02-05	Implemented new configuration/reconfiguration interface and defined protocol	Martin Mares
	state machines. Full explanation will follow soon.
1999-01-15	filters_init() renamed to filters_postconfig().	Pavel Machek

1999-01-15	Filters, second try. This time they have their own directory.	Pavel Machek

1999-01-15	Properly initialize filters. Also bumped version to 0.0.0 as it	Pavel Machek
	actually does something.
1998-12-20	die() -> bug() where appropriate.	Martin Mares

1998-12-06	Kernel syncer is now configurable. It will probably need some more	Martin Mares
	options, but at least basic tuning is possible now.
1998-11-27	First attempt at protocol configuration (now done only for RIP).	Martin Mares

1998-11-27	Compile and use the new configuration code by default.	Martin Mares

1998-10-19	Generate router_id automatically if possible (standard "smallest of local	Martin Mares
	regular interface addresses" rule). Protocols should NOT rely on router_id existence -- when router ID is not available, the router_id variable is set to zero and protocols requiring valid router ID should just refuse to start, reporting such error to the log.
1998-10-18	Since almost every UNIX system requires different techniques for reading	Martin Mares
	the kernel routing table as opposed to modifying it which is approximately the same on non-netlink systems, I've split the kernel routing table routines to read and write parts. To be implemented later ;-)
1998-10-18	Split protocol init to building of protocol list and real protocol init.	Martin Mares
	Added kernel route table syncer skeleton.
1998-10-17	Solve chicken-and-egg problems with protocol startup. We now queue all inactive	Martin Mares
	protocols and don't send route/interface updates to them and when they come up, we resend the whole route/interface tables privately. Removed the "scan interface list after protocol start" work-around.
1998-10-14	Moved scanning of interfaces, so that they get initialized after all	Martin Mares
	routing protocol instances.
1998-07-09	Making SIGUSR1 dump also all protocols.	Pavel Machek

1998-06-03	Killed socket debug code. Initialize config pool and protocols.	Martin Mares
	More to come later...
1998-06-01	Synced to new interface code.	Martin Mares

1998-05-26	Implemented scanning of network interfaces. Mostly very ugly code due to	Martin Mares
	terrible kernel interface (SIOGIFCONF and friends).
1998-05-24	Added UNIX implementation of both timers and sockets. Timers should work,	Martin Mares
	sockets were tested only in TCP mode. main.c now contains some test cases for socket code.
1998-05-20	Added routing table and routing attribute code.	Martin Mares

1998-05-15	The library is now glued together from generic and OS-dependent parts	Martin Mares
	by the `mergedirs' script. Few more IP address manipulation functions and some fixes.
