OpenBGPD 7.3 released

OpenBGPD 7.3 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:

• Macro expansion in the config file is improved. It is now possible to expand 'set large-community $myAS:$location:$transit'.

• Add initial FIB support for Linux. Routes can be added and removed. Nexthop tracking and dynamic interface detection are not yet implemented.

• Major refactoring in the RIB code base to add multi-path support in an upcoming release.

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.
