All users should upgrade, in particular FreeBSD users! ** Changes - Minor code cleanup and readability changes to simplify the code. - Update to libite v1.4.2 with improved =min()=/=max()= macros - Use =-Wextra= not =-Werror= in default =CFLAGS=, this to ensure that pimd still builds OK on newer and more pedantic compilers - Update man page and example `pimd.conf` with details on `rp-candidate` `bsr-candidate`, two very important settings for correct operation. ** Bug Fixes - Issue #57: Multicast routing table not updated on FreeBSD. Introduced with issue #23, in pimd v2.2.0. Too intrusive changes altered handling (forwarding) of PIM register messages. This only affects BSD systems, in particular FreeBSD 10.2 (current), or any FreeBSD < 11.0 - Issue #63: Mika Joutsenvirta found and fixed serious issues with the PIM Assert timeout handling. - Issue #65: Missing slash in config file path when using env. variable - Issue #66: Make it possible to run =pimd= without a configuration file. If =pimd= cannot find its configuration file it will use built-in fallback settings for =bsr-candidate= and =rp-candidate=. This to ensure you do not end up with a non-working setup. To disable =bsr-candidate= and =rp-candidate=, simply leave them out of your config file, and make sure =pimd= can find the file. - Issue #69: Rate limit only what is actually logged. The =logit()= function counted filtered messages, causing long periods of silence for no reason. Fix by Apollon Oikonomopoulos #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.3.1: November 15, 2015 Bug fix release. ** Changes - Let build system handle missing libite GIT submodule - Issue #61: Debian packaging moved to https://github.com/bobek/pkg-pimd ** Bug Fixes - Issue #53: Build problem with Clang on FreeBSD - Issue #55: Default config uses =/etcpimd.conf= instead of =/etc/pimd.conf=. Slashes added and now =pimd -h= lists the default path instead of a hard coded string. - Issue #60: Fix minor spelling errors. #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.3.0: July 31, 2015 -- /PIM-SSM & IGMPv3 release!/ The significant new features in this release would not have been possible if not for the hard work of Markus Veranen Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 (GLIBC/Linux 3.13), Debian 8.1 (GLIBC/Linux 3.16), FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD. ** Changes and New Features - Support for PIM-SSM and IGMPv3, by Markus Veranen - IGMPv3 is now default, use =phyint ifname igmpv2= for old behaviour - Default IGMP query interval has changed from 125 sec to 12 sec In =pimd.conf: igmp-query-interval = - Default IGMP querier timeout has changed from 255 sec to 42 sec In =pimd.conf: igmp-querier-timeout = - The built-in IGMP /robustness value/ changed from 2 to 3 - Support for changing the PIM Hello interval, by Markus Veranen In =pimd.conf: hello-interval = - Support for multiple multicast routing tables, and running multiple pimd instances, by Markus Veranen. (Only supported on Linux atm.) - Support for advertising, and acting upon changes to, Generation ID in PIM Hello messages, by Markus Veranen - Support for advertising /DR Priority/ option in PIM Hello messages. If all routers on a LAN send this option this value is used in the DR election rather than the IP address. The priority is configured per =phyint=. This closes the long-standing issue #5. - Distribution archive format changed from XZ to Gzip, for the benefit of OpenBSD that only ships Gzip in the base system. ** New pimd.conf syntax! The =pimd.conf= syntax has been changed in this release. Mainly, the configuration file now use dashes =-= instead of underscore =_= as word separators. However several settings have also been renamed to be more familiar to commands used by major router vendors: - =bsr-candidate= :: replaces =cand_bootstrap_router= - =rp-candidate= :: replaces =cand_rp= - =group-prefix= :: replaces =group_prefix= - =rp-address= :: replaces =rp_address= - =spt-threshold= :: replaces the two deprecated =switch_register_threshold= and =switch_data_threshold= settings - =hello-interval= :: replaces =hello_period= - =default-route-distance= :: replaces =default_source_preference= - =default-route-metric= :: replaces =default-source-metric= Also, for =phyint= the =preference= sub-option has been replaced with the less confusing =distance= and =ttl-threshold= replaces =threshold=. See the README or the man page for more information on the metric preference and admin distance confusion. /*Note:* The =pimd.conf= parser remains backwards compatible with the old syntax!/ ** Compile Time Features The following are new features that must be enabled at compile time, using the =configure= script, to take effect. For details, see =./configure --help= - =--prefix=PATH= :: Standard prefix to be used at installation, default =/usr/local= - =--sysconfdir=PATH= :: Prefix path to be used for =pimd.conf=, default =/etc=, unless =--prefix= is given. - =--embedded-libc= :: Enable uClib or musl libc build, on Linux. - =--disable-exit-on-error= :: Allow pimd to continue running despite encountering errors. - =--disable-pim-genid= :: Disable advertisement of PIM Hello GenID, use for compatibility problems with older versions of pimd. - =--with-max-vifs=MAXVIFS= :: Raise max number of VIFs to MAXVIFS. *Note:* this requires raising MAXVIFS in the kernel as well! Most kernels cannot handle >255, if this is a problem, try using multiple multicast routing tables instead. - =--disable-masklen-check= :: Allow tunctl VIFs with masklen 32. ** Bug Fixes - Fix issue #40: FTBS with =./configure --enable-scoped-acls= - Properly support cross compiling. It is now possible to actually define the =$CROSS= environment variable when calling =make= to allow cross compiling pimd. Should work with both GCC and Clang. Tested on Ubuntu, Debian and FreeBSD. #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.2.1: April 20, 2015 ** Bug Fixes - Fix another problem with issue #22 (reopened), as laid out in issue #37. This time the crash is induced when there is a link down event. Lot of help debugging the propblem by @mfspeer, who also suggested the fix -- to call =pim_proto.c:delete_pim_nbr()= in =vif.c:stop_vif()= instead of just calling free. - Fix issue with not checking return value of =open()= in daemonizing code in =main()=, found by Coverity Scan. - Fix issue with scoped =phyint= in =config.c=, found by Coverity Scan. The =masklen= may not be zero, config file problem, alert the user. #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.2.0: December 28, 2014 ** Changes & New Features - Support for IP fragmentation of PIM register messages, by Michael Fine, Cumulus Networks - Support =/LEN= syntax in =phyint= to complement =masklen LEN=, issue #12 - Add support for /31 networks, point-to-point, thanks to Apollon Oikonomopoulos - Remove old broken SNMP support - OpenBSD inspired cleanup (deregister) - General code cleanup, shorten local variable names, func decl. etc. - Support for router alert IP option in IGMP queries - Support for reading IGMPv3 membership reports - Update IGMP code to support FreeBSD >= 8.x - Retry read of routing tables on FreeBSD - Fix join/leve of ALL PIM Routers for FreeBSD and other UNIX kernels - Tested on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD - Add very simple homegrown configure script - Update and document support for =rp_address=, =cand_rp=, and =cand_bootstrap_router= - Add new =spt_threshold= to replace existing =switch_register_threshold= and =switch_data_threshold settings=. Cisco-like and easier to understand ** Bug Fixes - Fix to avoid infinite loop during unicast send failure, by Alex Tessmer - Fix bug in bootstrap when configured as candidate RP, issue #15 - Fix segfault in =accept_igmp()=, issue #29 - Fix default source preference, should be 101 (not 1024!) - Fix =ip_len= handling on older BSD's, thanks to Olivier Cochard-Labbé, issue #23 - Fix default prefix len in static RP example in =pimd.conf=, should be /4 - Fix issue #31: Make IGMP query interval and querier timeout configurable - Fix issue #33: pimd does not work in background under FreeBSD - Fix issue #35: support for timing out other queriers from mrouted - Hopefully fix issue #22: Crash in (S,G) state when neighbor is lost - Misc. bug fixes thanks to Coverity Scan, static code analysis tool https://scan.coverity.com/projects/3319 #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.1.8: October 22, 2011 ** Changes & New Features - Update docs of static Rendez-Vous Point, =rp_address=, configuration in man page and example =pimd.conf=. Thanks to Andriy Senkovych and YAMAMOTO Shigeru - Replaced =malloc()= with =calloc()= to mitigate risk of accessing junk data and ease debugging. Thanks to YAMAMOTO Shigeru - Extend .conf file =rp_address= option with =priority= field. Code changes and documentation updates by YAMAMOTO Shigeru ** Bug Fixes - A serious bug in =pim_proto.c:receive_pim_register()= was found and fixed by Jean-Pascal Billaud. In essence, the RP check was broken since the code only looked at =my_cand_rp_address=, which is not set when using the =rp_address= config. Everything works fine with auto-RP mode though. This issue completely breaks the register path since the JOIN(S,G) is never sent back ... - Fix FTBFS issues reported from Debian. Later GCC versions trigger unused variable warnings. Patches and cleanup Antonin Kral * Version 2.1.7: January 9, 2011 ** Changes & New Features - The previous move of runtime dump files to =/var/lib/misc= have been changed to =/var/run/pimd= instead. This to accomodate *BSD systems that do not have the =/var/lib= tree, and also recommended in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARRUNRUNTIMEVARIABLEDATA #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.1.6: January 8, 2011 ** Changes & New Features - Debian package now conflicts with =smcroute=, in addition to =mrouted=. It is only possible to run one multicast routing daemon at a time, kernel limitation. - The location of the dump file(s) have been moved from =/var/tmp= to =/var/lib/misc= due to the insecure nature of =/var/tmp=. See more below. ** Bug Fixes - =kern.c:k_del_vif()=: Fix build error on GNU/kFreeBSD - CVE-2011-0007: Insecure file creation in =/var/tmp=. "On USR1, pimd will write to =/var/tmp/pimd.dump= a dump of the multicast route table. Since =/var/tmp= is writable by any user, a user can create a symlink to any file he wants to destroy with the content of the multicast routing table." * Version 2.1.5: November 21, 2010 ** Changes & New Features - Improved error messages in kern.c - Renamed CHANGES to ChangeLog ** Bug Fixes - Import mrouted fix: on GNU/Linux systems (only!) the call to =kern.c:k_del_vif()= fails with: =setsockopt MRT_DEL_VIF on vif 3: Invalid argument=. This is due to differences in the Linux and *BSD =MRT_DEL_VIF= API. The Linux kernel expects to receive a =struct vifctl= associated with the VIF to be deleted, *BSD systems on the other hand expect to receive the index of that VIF. Bug reported and fixed on mrouted by Dan Kruchinin #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.1.4: September 25, 2010 ** Changes & New Features - Updates for support on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, FreeBSD kernel with GNU userland. ** Bug Fixes - Lior Dotan reports that pimd 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 are severely broken w.r.t. uninformed systematic replace of =bcopy()= with =memcpy()= API. * Version 2.1.3: September 8, 2010 ** Changes & New Features - =debug.c:syslog()=: Removed GNU:ism %m, use =strerror(errno)= instead. - Cleanup and ansification of a couple of files: rp.c, mrt.c, vif.c, route.c - Initialize stack variables to silence overzealous GCC on PowerPC and S/390. Debian bug 595584, this closes pimd issue #3 on GitHub. ** Bug Fixes - Merge bug fix for static-rp configurations from Kame's pim6sd route.c r1.28 - Close TODO item by merging in relevant changes from Kame's pim6sd =vif.c r1.3= - Tried fixing =debug.c:logit()= build failure on Sparc due to mixup in headers for =tv_usec= type. #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.1.2: September 4, 2010 ** Changes & New Features - License change on mrouted code from OpenBSD team => pimd fully free under the simlified 3-clause BSD license! This was also covered in v2.1.0-alpha29.17, but now all files have been updated, including LICENSE.mrouted. - Code cleanup and ansification. - Simplified Makefile so that it works seamlessly on GNU Make and BSD PMake. - Replaced all calls to =bzero()= and =bcopy()= with =memset()= and =memcpy()=. - Use =getopt_long()= for argument parsing. - Add, and improve, -h,--help output. - Add -f,--foreground option. - Add -v,--version option. - Add -l,--reload-config which sends SIGHUP to a running daemon. - Add -r,--show-routes which sends SIGUSR1 to a running daemon. - Add -q,--quit-daemon which sends SIGTERM to a running daemon. - Make it possible to call pimd as a regular user, for --help and --version. - Man page cleaned up, a lot, and updated with new options. ** Bug Fixes - Replaced dangerous old string functions with safer =snprintf()= and =strlcpy()= - Added checks for =malloc()= return values, all over the code base. - Fixed issues reported by Sparse (CC=cgcc). - Make sure to retry syscalls =recvfrom()= and =sendto()= on signal (SIGINT). - Fix build issues on OpenBSD 4.7 and FreeBSD 8.1 thanks to Guillaume Sellier. - Kernel include issues on Ubuntu 8.04, Linux <= 2.6.25, by Nikola Knežević - Fix build issues on NetBSD #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.1.1: January 17, 2010 Merged all patches from http://lintrack.org. ** Changes & New Features - Bumping version again to celebrate the changes and make it easier for distributions to handle the upgrade. - =002-better-rp_address.diff=: Support multicast group address in static Rendez-Vous Point .conf option. - =004-disableall.diff=: Add -N option to pimd. - =005-vifenable.diff=: Add enable keyword to phyint .conf option. ** Bug Fixes - =001-debian-6.diff=: Already merged, no-op - only documenting in case anyone wonders about it. - =003-ltfixes.diff=: Various bug fixes and error handling improvements. - =006-dot19.diff=: The lost alpha29.18 and alpha29.19 fixes by Pavlin Radoslavov. * Version 2.1.0, January 16, 2010 ** Changes & New Features - Integrated the latest Debian patches from =pimd_2.1.0-alpha29.17-9.diff.gz= - Fixed the new file include/linux/netinet/in-my.h (Debian) so that the #else fallback uses the system netinet/in.h, which seems to work now. - Bumped version number, this code has been available for a while now. #+LATEX: \newpage * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.19: January 14, 2005 ** Bug Fixes - Don't ignore PIM Null Register messages if the IP version of the inner header is not valid. - Add a missing bracket inside rsrr.c (a bug report and a fix by ) * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.18: May 21, 2003 ** Changes & New Features - Compilation fix for Solaris 8. Though, no guarantee pimd still works on that platform. - Define =BYTE_ORDER= if missing. - Update include/netinet/pim.h file with its lastest version - Update the copyright message of =include/netinet/pim_var.h= * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.17: March 20, 2003 ** Changes & New Features - The mrouted license, LICENSE.mrouted, updated with BSD-like license!! Thanks to the OpenBSD folks for the 2 years of hard work to make this happen: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.sbin/mrouted/LICENSE - Moved the pimd contact email address upfront in README. Let me repeat that here: If you have any questions, suggestions, bug reports, etc., do NOT send them to the PIM IETF Working Group mailing list! Instead, use the contact email address specified in README. * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.16: February 18, 2003 ** Bug Fixes - Compilation bugfix for Linux. Bug report by Serdar Uezuemcue * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.15: February 12, 2003 ** Bug Fixes - Routing socket descriptor leak. Bug report and fix by SUZUKI Shinsuke ; incorporated back from pim6sd. - PIM join does not go upstream. Bug report and fix by SUZUKI Shinsuke ; incorporated back from pim6sd. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE [problem] PIM join does not go upstream in the following topology, because oif-list is NULL after subtracting iif from oif-list. receiver---rtr1---| rtr2---|---rtr3----sender rtr1's nexthop to sender = rtr2 rtr2's nexthop to sender = rtr3 [reason] Owing to a difference between RFC2362 and the new pim-sm draft. [solution] Prunes iif from oiflist when installing it into kernel, instead of PIM route calculation time. #+END_EXAMPLE * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.14: February 10, 2003 ** Bug Fixes - Bugfix in calculating the netmask for POINTOPOINT interface in config.c. Bug report by J.W. (Bill) Atwood - =rp.c:rp_grp_match()=: SERIOUS bugfix in calculating the RP per group when there are a number of group prefixes in the Cand-RP set. Bug report by Eva Pless * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.13: November 7, 2002 ** Bug Fixes - Bugfix in rp.c =bootstrap_initial_delay()= in calculating BSR election delay. Fix by SAKAI Hiroaki * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.12: September 26, 2002 ** Bug Fixes - Increase size of send buffers in the kernel. Bug report by Andrea Gambirasio * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.11: July 8, 2002 ** Bug Fixes Bug reports and fixes by SAKAI Hiroaki - =init_routesock()=: Bugfix: initializing a forgotten variable. The particular code related to that variable is commented-out by default, but a bug is a bug. - =main.c:restart()=: Bugfix: close the =udp_socket= only when it is is different from =igmp_socket=. - =main.c:main()=: if SIGHUP signal is received, reconstruct readers and nfds - Three serious bug fixes thanks to Jiahao Wang and Bo Cheng : - =pim_proto.c:receive_pim_join_prune()=: two bugfixes related to the processing of (*,*,RP) - =pim_proto.c:add_jp_entry()=: Bugfix regarding adding prune entries - Remove the FTP URL from the various README files, and replace it with an HTTP URL, because the FTP server on catarina.usc.edu is not operational anymore. * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.10: April 26, 2002 ** Bug Fixes - Widen the space for "Subnet" addresses printed under "Virtual Interface Table" - Added (commented-out code) to enable different interfaces to belong to overlapping subnets. See around line 200 in config.c - Bugfix in handling of Join/Prune messages when there is one join and one prune for the same group. Thanks to Xiaofeng Liu . * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.9: November 13, 2001 ** Changes & New Features First three entries contributed by Hiroyuki Komatsu - Print line number if there is conf file error. - If there is an error in the conf file, pimd won't start. - GRE configuration examples added to README.config. - New file README.debug (still very short though). ** Bug Fixes - Increase the config line buffer size to 1024. Bug fix by Hiroyuki Komatsu * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.8: September 16, 2001 ** Changes & New Features - Better log messages for point-to-point links in config.c. Thanks to Hitoshi Asaeda * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.7: September 10, 2001 ** Changes & New Features - Added "phyint altnet" (see pimd.conf for usage) for allowing some senders look like directly connected to a local subnet. Implemented by Marian Stagarescu - Added "phyint scoped" (see pimd.conf for usage) for administartively disabling the forwarding of multicast groups. Implemented by Marian Stagarescu - The License has changed from the original USC to the more familiar BSD-like (the KAME+OpenBSD guys brought to my attention that the original working in the USC license "...and without fee..." is ambiguous and makes it sound that noone can distribute pimd as part of some other software distribution and charge for that distribution. - RSRR disabled by default in Makefile ** Bug Fixes - Memory leaks bugs fixed in rp.c, thanks to Sri V - Compilation problems for RedHat-7.1 fixed. Bug report by Philip Ho - PID computation fixed (it should be recomputed after a child =fork()=). Thanks to Marian Stagarescu - =find_route()=-related bug fixes (always explicitly check for NULL return). Bug report by Marian Stagarescu - Bug fix re. adding a local member with older ciscos (in =add_leaf()=). Bug report by Marian Stagarescu - Added explicit check whether =BYTE_ORDER= in pimd.h is defined. Bug report by * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.6: May 4, 2001 ** Bug Fixes - Bug fixes in processing Join/Prune messages. Thanks to Sri V * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.5: February 22, 2001 ** Changes & New Features - =VIFM_FORWARDER()= macro renamed to =VIFM_LASTHOP_ROUTER=. - Mini-FAQ entries added to README. ** Bug Fixes - When there is a new member, =add_leaf()= is called by IGMP code for any router, not only for a DR. The reason is because not only the DR must know about local members, but the last-hop router as well (so eventually it will initiate a SPT switch). Similar fixes to =add_leaf()= inside route.c as well. Problem reported by Hitoshi Asaeda . XXX: Note the lenghty comment in the beginning of =add_leaf()= about a pimd desing problem that may result in SPT switch not initiated immediately by the last-hop router. - DR entry timer bug fix in timer.c: When (*,G)'s iif and (S,G)'s iif are not same, (S,G)'s timer for the DR doesn't increase. Reported indirectly by * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.4: December 1, 2000 ** Changes & New Features - README cleanup + Mini-FAQ added - =igmp_proto.c=: printf argument cleanup (courtesy KAME) - =main.c:restart()=: forgotten printf argument added (courtesy KAME) ** Bug Fixes - =kern.c:k_stop_pim()=: Fix the ordering of =MRT_PIM= and =MRT_DONE=, thanks to Hitoshi Asaeda . - =route.c:add_leaf()=: mrtentry creation logic bug fix. If the router is not a DR, a mrtentry is never created. Tanks to Hitoshi Asaeda & (indirectly) - =pim_proto.c=: Two critical bug fixes. J/P prune suppression related message and J/P message with (*,*,RP) entry inside. Thanks to Azzurra Pantella and Nicola Dicosmo from University of Pisa - =pim_proto.c:receive_pim_bootstrap()=: BSR-related fix from Kame's pim6sd. Even when the BSR changes, just schedule an immediate advertisemnet of C-RP-ADV, instead of sending message, in order to avoid sending the advertisement to the old BSR. In response to comment from * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.3: October 13, 2000 ** Bug Fixes - =ADVANCE()= bug fix in routesock.c (if your system doesn't have =SA_LEN=) thanks to Eric S. Johnson * Version 2.1.0-alpha29.2: October 13, 2000 NB: THIS pimd VERSION WON'T WORK WITH OLDER PIM-SM KERNEL PATCHES (kernel patches released prior to this version)! ** Changes & New Features - The daemon that the kernel will prepare completely the inner multicast packet for PIM register messages that the kernel is supposed to encapsulate and send to the RP. - Now pimd compiles on OpenBSD-2.7. PIM control messages exchange test passed. Ddon't have the infrastructure to perform more complete testing. - =main.c:cleanup()=: Send =PIM_HELLO= with holdtime of '0' if pimd is going away, thanks to JINMEI Tatuya - =include/netinet/pim.h= updated - pimd code adapted to the new =struct pim= definition. - Added =PIM_OLD_KERNEL= and =BROKEN_CISCO_CHECKSUM= entries in the Makefile. - Don't ignore kernel signals if any of src or dst are NULL. - Don't touch =ip_id= on a PIM register message - README cleanup: kernel patches location, obsoleted systems clarification, etc. - =k_stop_pim()= added to =cleanup()= in =main.c= (courtesy Kame) ** Bug Fixes - =RANDOM()=-related bug fix re. =jp_value= calculation in =pim_proto.c=, thanks to JINMEI Tatuya - =realloc()= related memory leak bug in =config_vifs_from_kernel()= in config.c courtesy Kame's pim6sd code. - Solaris-8 fixes thanks to Eric S. Johnson - =BROKEN_CISCO_CHECKSUM= bug fix thanks to Eric S. Johnson and Hitoshi Asaeda. - =main.c=: 1000000 usec -> 1 sec 0 usec. Fix courtesy of the Kame project - =main.c:restart()= fixup courtesy of the Kame project - various min. message length check for the received control messages courtesy of the Kame project. XXX: the pimd check is not enough! - VIF name string comparison fix in =routesock.c:getmsg()= courtesy of the Kame project - missing brackets added inside =age_routes()= (a bug that will show up only if =KERNEL_MFC_WC_G= was defined); courtesy of the Kame project * Version 2.1.0-alpha28: March 15, 2000 ** Changes & New Features - added #ifdef =BROKEN_CISCO_CHECKSUM= (disabled by default) to make cisco RPs happy (read the comments in pim.c) - added #ifdef =PIM_TYPEVERS_DECL= in netinet/pim.h as a workaround that ANSI-C doesn't guarantee that bit-fields are tightly packed together (although all modern C compilers should not create a problem). ** Bug Fixes - Fixes to enable point-to-point interfaces being added correctly, thanks to Roger Venning - A number of minor bug fixes * Version 2.1.0-alpha27: January 21, 2000 NB: this release may the the last one from 2.1.0. The next release will be 2.2.0 and there will be lots of changes inside. ** Bug Fixes - Bug fix in =rp.c:add_grp_mask()= and =rp.c:delete_grp_mask()=: in some cases if the RPs are configured with nested multicast prefixes, the add/delete may fail. Thanks to Hitoshi Asaeda and the KAME team for pointing out this one. * Version 2.1.0-alpha26: October 28, 1999 ** Bug Fixes - Bug fix in =receive_pim_register()= in =pim_proto.c:ntohl()= was missing inside =IN_MULTICAST()=. Thanks to Fred Griffoul - Bug report and fix by Hitoshi Asaeda in =pim_proto.c:receive_pim_cand_rp_adv()= (if a router is not a BSR). Another bug in =rp.c:delete_grp_mask_entry()=: an entry not in the head of the list was not deleted propertly. - Some =VIFF_TUNNEL= checks added or deleted in various places. Slowly preparing pimd to be able to work with GRE tunnels... * Version 2.1.0-alpha25: August 30, 1999 Bug reports and fixes by Hitoshi Asaeda inside =parse_reg_threshold()= and =parse_data_threshold()= in config.c ** Changes & New Features - Successfully added multicast prefixes configured in pimd.conf are displayed at startup - Use =include/freebsd= as FreeBSD-3.x include files and =include/freebsd2= for FreeBSD-2.x. ** Bug Fixes - Test is performed whether a =PIM_REGISTER= has invalid source and/or group address of the internal packet. * Version 2.1.0-alpha24: August 9, 1999 ** Changes & New Features - =PIM_DEFAULT_CAND_RP_ADV_PERIOD= definition set to 60, but default 'time' value for inter Cand-RP messages is set in pimd.conf to 30 sec. - =PIM_REGISTER= checksum verification in =receive_pim_register()= relaxed for compatibility with some older routers. The checksum has to be computed only over the first 8 bytes of the PIM Register (i.e. only over the header), but some older routers might compute it over the whole packet. Hence, the checksum verification is over the first 8 bytes first, and if if it fails, then over the whole packet. Thus, pimd that is RP should still work with older routers that act as DR, but if an older router is the RP, then pimd cannot be the DR. Sorry, don't know which particular routers and models create the checksum over the whole PIM Register (if there are still any left). * Version 2.1.0-alpha23: May 24, 1999 ** Changes & New Features - Finally pimd works under Linux (probably 2.1.126, 2.2.x and 2.3.x).
