We have released OpenBGPD 8.5, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

   * Include OpenBSD 7.5 errata 004:
     Repair a withdraw desyncronization problem in bgpd(8).
     Affected are OpenBGPD 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4.

   * Fix Linux TCP MD5 autoconf detection and improve the code to work
     in all cases.

   * Double peer description length to 64 characters.

   * Improve handling of bgpd AFI IPv4 sessions over IPv6 only links.

   * Sessions over IPv6 link-local addresses are now always considered
     to be connected.

   * Allow operators to enforce the presence of certain capabilities.

   * Improve capability negotiation and remove 'announce capabilities'.
     The 'announce capabilities [yes|no]' neighbor config option needs to be
     removed from configuration files. Instead individual capabilities
     need to be disabled.

   * Improve negotiation of the multi-protocol capability and the fallback
     to IPv4 only mode.

   * Mark RTR and IPv6 BGP packets with DSCP CS6 (network control).

   * Increase RTR PDU limit to 48k and limit number of SPAS to 10'000.

   * Convert the remaining session engine parsers to the new ibuf API.

   * Various changes to autoconf and portable headers for NetBSD support.

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.
