OpenBGPD 7.2 released

OpenBGPD 7.2 has been released, which will be arriving in the OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

• Support for RFC 9072 - Extended Optional Parameters Lenght for BGP OPEN Message

• Support for RFC 8050 - MRT Format with BGP Additional Path Extensions

• Implement receive side of RFC 7911 - Advertisement of Multiple Paths in BGP. OpenBGPD is currently not able to send multiple paths out.

• Improve checks of VRPs loaded via RTR or from the roa-set table.

• Allow to optionally specify an expiry time for roa-set entries to mitigate BGP route decision making based on outdated RPKI data.

• OpenBGPD's companion rpki-client(8) produces roa-sets with the new expires property

OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD, and the Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu. It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portable to more distributions.

We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community. Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release possible.
