[Apologies for duplicate emails]
Dear All,
Libbgpdump 1.3.1 beta is now available on the RIS web site. The previous release was 1.1, as 1.2 only provided some intermediate
IPv6 supporting features.
Notable changes since 1.1:
- IPv6 support
IPv6 should be supported for all record types that were supported
in libbgpdump 1.1. This naturally includes both RIB and update
dumps. IPv6 support can be turned off at compile time for machines
that don't have the necessary headers.
- Better handling of corrupt data
The previous version would exhibit non-deterministic behaviour, e.g.
segfaulting or going into infinite loops, when encountering corrupt
data. This version should work properly and never segfault (if it
does, yell! ;)). This also means it should not choke in the face of
the old "update truncated at 4096 bytes" Zebra bug.
- Compressed file support
Libbgpdump can now read gzip compressed files and accept gzip compressed
streams on stdin. Please note that this requires you to link with zlib,
even if you don't plan to use compressed files. The default configuration
is now to build a shared library. This can be changed by editing the
makefile.
Libbgpdump 1.3.1 beta can be downloaded from URL: http://www.ris.ripe.net/source/.
Please send your bug reports to mailto:ris@ripe.net.
Best regards,
The RIS team

Dear All,
RIS Notification:
- ------------------
Quagga (http://www.quagga.net/) on RRC05 at the Vienna Internet
Exchange (VIX) has been patched in order for IPv6 peer addresses and
next-hops to be written properly to update files and RIB dumps
respectively. In this particular case, we are interested in hearing
from our users about bugs and other related issues before rolling out
the new code on other RRCs. Note that we have confirmed IPv4 data to
be accurate after patching Quagga.
Source code can be found at http://www.ris.ripe.net/source/.
One known route_btoa issue can be remedied by using the following
patch:
* mrt-2.2.2a-v6-wallpaper.patch
Makes route_btoa fail gracefully if it encounters
IPv6 data but is not compiled with IPv6 support.
Available at URL: http://www.ris.ripe.net/source/mrt-patches/
Please send your feedback to mailto:ris@ripe.net.

Apologies for any duplicate messages.
rrc05.ripe.net (AS12654, 193.203.0.123), the RIS project's route collector at
the Vienna Internet Exchange, will be offline for maintenance on the morning
of Monday, 22nd September.
Start time: 10:00 CET (08:00 UTC)
Estimated end time: 11:00 CET (09:00 UTC)
Reason for outage: Installation of additional disk drive.
During this period BGP sessions will drop and there will be a gap in the
data collected by this RRC. Other RRCs will be unaffected by this work.
Regards,
James
