Arouteserver

------

- OpenBGPD support (some `limitations <https://arouteserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/CONFIG.html#caveats-and-limitations>`_ apply).
- Add MD5 password support on clients configuration.
- The ``build`` command used to generate route server configurations has been removed in favor of BGP-speaker-specific sub-commands: ``bird`` and ``openbgpd``.

------

- New ``--test-only`` flag for builder commands.
- New ``--clients-from-euroix`` `command <https://arouteserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/USAGE.html#create-clients-yml-file-from-euro-ix-member-list-json-file>`_ to build the ``clients.yml`` file on the basis of records from an `Euro-IX member list JSON file <https://github.com/euro-ix/json-schemas>`_.

This also allows the `integration <https://arouteserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/USAGE.html#ixp-manager-integration>`_ with `IXP-Manager <https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager>`_.
- New BGP communities: add NO_EXPORT and/or NO_ADVERTISE to any client or to specific peers.
- New option (set by default) to automatically add the NO_EXPORT community to blackhole filtering announcements.

------

- ``setup-templates`` command to just sync local templates with those distributed within a new release.
- Multithreading support for tasks that acquire data from external sources (IRRDB info, PeeringDB max-prefix).

Can be set using the ``threads`` option in the ``arouteserver.yml`` configuration file.
- New ``template-context`` command, useful to dump the list of context variables and data that can be used inside a template.
- New empty AS-SETs handling: if an AS-SET is empty, no errors are given but only a warning is logged and the configuration building process goes on.

Any client with IRRDB enforcing enabled and whose AS-SET is empty will have its routes rejected by the route server.

------

- Fix local files usage among IPv4/IPv6 processes.

Before of this release, only *.local* files were included into the route server configuration, for both the IPv4 and IPv6 configurations.
After this, *.local* files continue to be used for both the address families but *.local4* and *.local6* files can also be used to include IP version specific options, depending on the IP version used to build the configuration. Details `here <https://arouteserver.readthedocs.io/en/latest/CONFIG.html#site-specific-custom-configuration-files>`__.

To upgrade:

.. code:: bash

pull from GitHub master branch or use pip:
pip install --upgrade arouteserver

install the new template files into local system
arouteserver setup

------

- Add local static files into the route server's configuration.

------

- First beta version.
