OpenBGPD 7.6 released

OpenBGPD 7.6 has been released! It is available in the OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

• Include OpenBSD 7.1 errata 008: bgpd(8) could fail to invalidate nexthops and incorrectly leave them in the FIB or Adj-RIB-Out.

• Speedup bgpctl show rib 10/8 or-longer and show rib 10/8 or-shorter

• Switch various static hash tables to RB trees improving performance on large systems

• Export per neighbor pending update and withdraw statistics

• Fix race between a neighbor session reset and its update message backlog

• Improve handling of nexthop reachability state changes

• Further improve portability of the FIB handling code

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.
