4.7.3

* bugfixes & new in RtConfig, fixes in prpath, rpslcheck, libirr.
* man pages updated
* configure script patched for NetBSD (thanks to Jeff Rizzo (riz@equinix.com) for the patch)
* '-V RAToolSet' switch for whois queries using ripe whois is renamed to '-V IRRToolSet'

4.7.2
* various bugfixes in aoe: it is RIPE compliant, bug fixed, 
  error reporting improved.
* some bugs in RtConfig, roe and prpath fixed

4.7.1
* various bug fixes

4.7.0
* Added support for the new ripe server, please use -protocol ripe for it.
 For the perl based old ripe server, please use -protocol ripe_perl
 Note that the new ripe server support is at best beta quality. 
 Please watch out for and report any problems.
* ~*/~+ rpsl as path regular expressions are now supported for cisco configs.
  These lead to shorter regular expressions.
* If you are hitting cisco line limitation, you can force * and + to be
 interpreted as ~*, and ~+ which will shorten the config lines by using
 -cisco_force_tilda command line option. (i.e. without modifying your
 aut-num in IRR).
* We try to generate less parenthesis in as paths for ciscos.
* The limitation with JunOS as path printing regarding [^ ] operator is
 now removed. The JunOS can now handle all RPSL as path expressions. I
 did not implement ~*, ~+ in JunOS since they do not have a line length
 limitation. If your aut-num has ~*/~+, they are treated as if */+
 respectively .
* JunOS access lists are now compressed correctly (if turned on).
* bug fixes in map name format
* many other bug fixes

4.6.3
* portability fixes

4.6.2
* bug fixes

4.6.1
* CIDRAdvisor was core dumping if given an AS number who had no routes. 
* prtraceroute has problems on DU converting from FQDN to IP numbers.
* documented the "-protocol {irrd|bird|ripe}" option in the man pages

4.6.0
* junos support. RtConfig can now generate Juniper router
  configurations. The supported feature set is equivalent to the cisco
  feature set with less limitations. Please consider the generated config
  files beta quality, and manually check for errors before deploying to
  routers till we clean up any bugs that may show up. Please read the
  RtConfig man page for details.
* We now map rpsl pref values to gated/rsd pref values
  carefully. Gated/RSd can only handle 0-255 as a preference. We map the
  smallest preference the user used to 0, next smalles to 1, and so on...
* setting next-hop in a route map is now supported.
* several minor bug fixes.
* Digital Unix portability improvements. Still not perfect.

4.5.2
* an rsd bug fix

4.5.1
* Lost of bug fixes
* @RtConfig printSuperPrefixRanges <format> filter <filter>
  This command is same as the "printPrefixRanges" command, except it
  compresses more aggresively. The %n and %m information is lost.  But, %D,
  a set of dont care bits representing different %n-%m ranges are provided.

4.5.0
* bay router is now officially supported, use -config bcc
  kudos to Srivathsan Srinivasagopalan <vathsan@BayNetworks.COM>
  and Giovanni S Marzot <gmarzot@BayNetworks.COM>
* now compiles cleanly with egcs 2.95.*
* couple of minor bug fixes

4.4.4
* bug fix in gated/rsd aspath filter generation

4.4.3
* fixed the prpath/prtraceroute/cidradvisor bug for real

4.4.2
* Put a workaround to prpath/prtraceroute/cidradvisor that ignores
  routes with prefix lengths < 6. This causes as numbers to be AS1800 for
  all addresses, only with recent irrd.

4.4.1
* two new commands:
              @RtConfig printPrefixes <format> filter <filter>
                     <format> is a quoted string, and <filter> is
                     an RPSL filter over AS numbers, AS set names
                     and  route set names using operators AND, OR
                     and NOT.  This command instruct RtConfig  to
                     print  the  prefixes in <filter> using <for-
                     mat>.  The <format> can contain the  follow-
                     ing escape sequences:
                           %p  prefix
                           %l  length
                           %L  32-length
                           %n  n
                           %m  m
                           %k  mask
                           %K  inverse of mask (i.e. ~mask)
                           %%  %
                           \n  carriage return
                           \t  tab
                     Example, use:
              @RtConfig printPrefixes "net %p \tmask %k\n" filter AS1

              @RtConfig printPrefixRanges <format> filter <filter>
                     This command is same as the  "printPrefixes"
                     command, except the consecutive address pre-
                     fixes are compressed into a  single  address
                     prefix range.
* CIDRAdvisor is now ported to RPSL.

4.4.0
* 100% RPSL compliant!
*               -cisco_skip_route_maps
                     This option only  affects  cisco  configura-
                     tions.   This  option instructs RtConfig not
                     to print route maps, hence  it  only  prints
                     access lists.
* @RtConfig access_list filter <filter>
              @RtConfig access_list filter <filter>
                     <filter> is an RPSL filter over AS  numbers,
                     AS set names and route set names using oper-
                     ators  AND,  OR  and  NOT.    This   command
                     instruct RtConfig to generate an access list
                     for <filter>.
  E.g. @RtConfig access_list filter AS1 or AS6
  Note that no neighbor or map statements are generated.
* @RtConfig aspath_access_list filter <filter>
              @RtConfig aspath_access_list filter <filter>
                     <filter> is an RPSL filter over AS path reg-
                     ular expressions using operators AND, OR and
                     NOT.  This command instruct RtConfig to gen-
                     erate an as path access list for <filter>.
  E.g. @RtConfig aspath_access_list filter <^AS286 .* AS-EUNET$>
  Note that no neighbor or map statements are generated.
* One command router configuration "@RtConfig configureRouter rtr.isp.net"
              @RtConfig configureRouter <inet-rtr-name>
                     <inet-rtr-name> is the DNS name of an  inet-
                     rtr  object. This command will use the named
                     inet-rtr object, and  configure  import  and
                     export  policies  for each of the BGP4 peers
                     of the router (using the peer attribute).
* Use %d in map name as peer's AS number or to make it unique
              @RtConfig set cisco_map_name = <map-name>
                     <map-name> is a quoted string.  This command
                     instruct  RtConfig  to use <map-name> as the
                     name for the route maps generated.   If  the
                     <map-name>  contains %d, it will be replaced
                     by the peer's AS number.  If it  contains  a
                     second %d, it will be replaced by an integer
                     that is incremented each time a new  map  is
                     generated (to ensure unique map names).  The
                     default cisco_map_name is "MyMap_%d_%d".
* peval has now new option
              -compressed
                     Print  prefix  lists using the more specific
                     operators.  Otherwise,  an  expression  like
                     128.9.0.0/16^24  will result in 256 prefixes
                     being printed.
* peering group configuration
              @RtConfig importGroup <ASN-1> <peering-set-name>
              @RtConfig exportGroup <ASN-1> <peering-set-name>
                     <peering-set-name> is a name  of  a  peering
                     set object.  This command instructs RtConfig
                     to generate import  (export)  filters  where
                     <ASN-1> is importing (exporting) routes from
                     (to) the peers  listed  in  <peering-set-name>.
                     The  aut-num  object for <ASN-1> should have
                     an import (export) attribute using the peer-
                     ing set's name.
* prtraceroute is now ported to rpsl. (Thanks to John Mehringer).
* IRR file cache (-f option) can now have aut-num, as-set, route-set and
  inet-rtr objects.
* Much better error reporting using ^^^ pointers.
* RtConfig option -force_match_ip_inbound is deleted and its behaviour is
  now the default. Use the new option -no_match_ip_inbound to restore the
  old behaviour. 
* RtConfig will split very long "ip as-path access-list" lines over
  multiple lines.

  Splitting is activated if an "ip as-path" line longer than 250 characters
  is generated. (Cisco line length limit is 256).
  
  We search for the longest as number sequence in the expression
  (i.e. (ddd|ddd|...|ddd)) which is not inside the scope of a * or +
  operator and split that one into multiple lines.
  
  If there are multiple candidates for split, we only split the longest
  one. Splitting all candidates would be safer. 
  
  In short:
     <^AS286+ .* AS-EUNET$>	is splittable,
     <^AS286+ .* AS-EUNET*$>	is NOT splittable,
     <^AS286+ .* AS-EUNET+$>	is NOT splittable,
     <^AS286+ .* AS-EUNET AS-EUNET$>	is splittable
  
  In the last example, the splitted lines will still be too long.
  Let me know if any of you have as-path policy of this sort. It is more 
  work to split all splittable stuff, but it can be done.
* Fix for Cisco's fix of their prefix list access list bug.
* filter-set, peering-set, rtr-set classes are now recognized.
* RAToolSet no longer has a hidden list of IRR databases, if a -s option
  is not specified at the command line, it will use whatever the default
  is at the server. This should make no difference for those of you that
  use RADB. For others, watch out for surprises.

4.3.3
* RAToolSet now defaults to rpsl.merit.edu port 43 protocol IRRd

4.3.2
* bug fixes (solaris long long int bug, and aspath prepend bug)

4.3.1
* draft-ietf-rps-rpsl-v2-00 compliant
* examples under tests directory updated for v4 syntax
* got rid of -c option while connecting to RIPE-based server

4.3.0
* aoe, roe and prpath are back
* a very brief library documentation is included
* bug fixes
* compressing cisco access lists are now the default. To disable, please
  use the -cisco_no_compress_acls option.

4.2.0
* bug fixes
* gated and rsd support in RtConfig (this part is alpha code).

4.1.0
* Structured import and export with braces, semicolons, except and refine
  is implemented. They can be arbitrarily nested.
* PeerAS can now be used in prefix or as-path filters.
* @RtConfig static2bgp <ASN-1> <rtr-1>
  See man page.
* All community methods now work, cisco can not handle the delete method
  though. 
* New option -cisco_use_prefix_lists
  This option only  affects  cisco  configurations.  This option instructs
  RtConfig to output prefix-lists which yield higher performace than
  access-lists. This flag implies -cisco_compress_acls.
* Media local range 169.254.0.0/16^+ is now in the martians list.
* ^+, ^-, ^n, ^n-m can now be used with as numbers, rs-set and as-set
  names. e.g. AS226^+, RS-PRIVATE^19
* more control over acl numbers used. Check the man page for:
     @RtConfig set cisco_prefix_acl_no = 500
     @RtConfig set cisco_aspath_acl_no = 1500
     @RtConfig set cisco_community_acl_no = 3500
* There is also a new option -f <filename> where the file contains an
  aut-num object. RAToolSet uses the object's definition in the file
  instead of the one in IRR. This is mainly useful for testing. This
  option  may disappear in the future.
* roe/aoe is broken. They will be fixed in 4.1.1.
* Bugs fixed.

4.0.3
* Bugs fixed.

4.0.2
* Bug fixes
* Peval now has command line history (if you have gnu readline/history
libs)

4.0.1
* Bug fixes

4.0.0
* rpsl is implemented.
* in your templates, IP addresses should no longer have /32. i.e. use:
	@RtConfig export AS2764 203.63.80.17 AS1221 139.130.49.81
	not                                 /32                  /32
* as path and community access lists are now cached
* if you do not have a policy for a neighbor, RtConfig will generate a
  config file which imports no routes from that neighbor. Previously, it
  just ignored the RtConfig command for that neighbor.
* Please read README.v4 for things to watch for.

3.5.7
* Portability improved. Warnings during compilation is now avoided.
* In printing packet filters the prefix 0.0.0.0/0 is ignored.
* The following lists are also sorted:
	cisco packet filters
	cisco default statements
	gated prefix list policy filters
	rsd prefix list policy filters
* RtConfig now accepts the following command:
	@RtConfig outbound_pkt_filter <if-name> <ASN-1> <rtr-1> <ASN-2> <rtr-2>
  Same as pkt_filter but using as-out instead of as-in. Please see the man 
  page.

3.5.6 
* A new radix tree implementation is in place. So
  -cisco_compress_acls now works and resulting access lists are
  sorted.
* RtConfig now accepts the following command:
	@RtConfig pkt_filter <if-name> <ASN-1> <rtr-1> <ASN-2> <rtr-2>
  Man page has the details. This is useful for filtering data packets 
  whose source address does not belong to your customers 
  (e.g. smurf packets).

3.5.5
* RtConfig now accepts the following commands.
     @RtConfig set cisco_map_first_no = 5
     @RtConfig set cisco_map_increment_by = 10
  Man page has the details. This is useful for inserting other statements 
  to the route maps.
* Bug fixed: RtConfig failed on expressions like "accept AS1 OR <AS1>".
* Bug fixed: Our radix tree based set implementation turned out to be
  very bugy and consumed enormous resources. I rolled back our old set
  implementation that used splay trees. This means, access lists will
  no longer be sorted:-( Also, -compressACLS will not work. 
* aoe now has a revert button, when pressed it re-reads the object from IRR.

3.5.4
* RAToolSet has been modified to adapt Tcl/Tk 8.0 by changing it's
  naming convention.  This will make roe and aoe taking the advantage of
  newest Tcl/Tk in terms of speed.
* A multi-homed's bug on prtraceroute has been fixed by checking out
  the interfaces from the kernel.  Linux and Solaris porting have also been
  integrated.  
* RAToolSet installation script has been improved so that it will
  create directories if they do not exist.  This will smooth the
  installation process without any human interference.  
* RtConfig has been enhanced to generate compressed ACLs for Cisco
  routers.  This will shorten the ACLs and hence use less memory on Cisco
  routers.

3.5.3
* Radix trie has been added for RtConfig so that sorted access list 
  will be generated.
* Balloon help for roe has been added to show the range of each address prefix.
* Bugs fixed for roe from being crashed. 
* aoe has different resource file (~/.aoerc) format.  Users should delete
  the old one and let aoe generates a new one.
* aoe provides template for the "changed:" field and appends/replaces
  it automatically.
* Bug fixed for prtraceroute from being crashed in Solaris.  Thanks
  Bob Coggeshall for pointing it out.
* Clean up all the memory leaking problems.

3.5.1
* This version contains a couple of minor bugs fixed for RtConfig.  Thanks
  "David M. Meyer" <meyer@network-services.uoregon.edu> for pointing them
  out.

3.5.0
* This version contains the beta release of aoe, Autonomous System
  Object Editor:
     aoe simplifies the creation of aut-num objects by employing some
     heuristics to add and modify as-in and as-out attributes.  For
     example, given a BGP dump from a router inside your AS, aoe
     parses the AS_PATH attributes in the BGP dump, and determines the
     peer ASes, and the import policies for each peer AS.  A template
     based mechanism is provided for users to create their own
     heuristics to augment the heuristics that we provide.  aoe can
     register the aut-num object in the IRR after editing is done.
* RtConfig has couple of new features:
        -supress_martian option
        -@RtConfig networks commands
        -@RtConfig default commands
* There are also some minor bug fixes.

3.4.0
* This version has man pages for all tools. There are new tools, quite a
  few improvements and bug fixes. Since there are so many changes please
  regard this version as alpha.
* Here are the list of tools:
    peval                 improvements and bug fixes
    pmatch                more options
    prpath                more options
    RtConfig              improvements and bug fixes
    CIDRAdvisor           completely rewritten with all new options
    prcheck               no changes
    roe                   no changes
    relayd                new tool
    prtraceroute          new tool

2.9
* peval now has registers. register store the results of previous
  evaluations. To enable, one needs to use either -registers option or
  -config option of peval. E.g.
	./peval -registers
	peval> set $a AS1
	peval> $a
	((AS1))
* code has been reorganized. gnu libraries is now all in one sub directory
  parse tree node* code has been cleaned and sped up.
* autoconf tested on sunos solaris alpha/osf ultrix
2.8
* yyparse now parses the stdin. Peval used to read stdin and pass it to
  yyparse.
* When debugging is enabled (w/ -DDEBUG), execution is no longer slowed
  down if debugging is not enabled at run time with -D command line option.
* The extended/original attribute interaction as discussed in IETF July 95
  has been implemented.
* Better error/warning messages:
	Warning: aut-num object of AS690 has no as-out line for peer AS3561.
	Warning: Community COMM has no registered routes or does not exist.
* RtConfig now supports RSd configuration file format.
