Dear FRR Community,
We are pleased to announce FRR 8.3.1 release.
Packages
Debian Packages - https://deb.frrouting.org/
RPM Packages - https://rpm.frrouting.org/
Snaps - https://snapcraft.io/frr
Docker - https://hub.docker.com
Release Overview
Handle CTRL+Z without exiting the VTY shell
In the 8.3 release, the CTRL+Z combination exited the VTY shell, it's back again!
Ignore end when parsing frr.conf
If frr.conf has end inside the config, BGP peering starts only after 10 minutes. This is because parsing the end keyword stopped hooks from reaching the end of the configuration and BGP thoughts the configuration is not ready.
Changelog
bgpd
Do not announce routes that are conditionally withdrawn (a gap between conditional advertisement interval)
Fix crash for show bgp l2vpn evpn route rd
Do not overwrite the Link-Local address with another interface for the next-hop cache
Call a hook when the as-path filter is replaced
Fix memory leak when cleaning up MPLS labels
isisd
Fix memory leak when deleting adjacency
ldpd
Fix crash when hold time is configured to 65535
ospfd
Fix crash when the router is running in GR helper mode and receives a new LSA
pimd
Fix memory leak for show ip pim interface
Allow the same group/source route to be configured on more than one interface
vtysh
Handle CTRL+Z without exiting the VTY shell
Ignore end when parsing frr.conf
zebra
Avoid buffer overflow when parsing nested route attributes for SR-IPv6
Fix missing VNI transition, e.g.: show evpn vni detail
Thanks to all contributors!
Cheers,
The FRR Development Team!
