INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the former option import_table is now a list in
/etc/config/babeld.
Default values for interface parameters, introduced in this release, are
not supported yet in UCI config.
19 June 2013: babeld-1.4.2
* Extensive changes to the configuration parser. It is now possible
to set all command-line options from the configuration file, and
to specify default values for interface parameters.
* Allow redistributing routes from multiple kernel tables. Thanks
to Toke Høiland-Jørgensen.
* Fix some whitespace issues in the configuration parser.
* Fix a bug in the configuration parser that could give wrong values
to some exotic interface parameters (channel and faraway).
* Fix a bug that could cause some extra traffic at shutdown. Thanks
to Matthieu Boutier.
* Under Linux, set rp_filter explicitly for all interfaces. This
avoids mysterious routing failures on distributions that set
rp_filter by default. Reported by Baptiste Jonglez.

Two new options in uci config:
* smoothing_half_time (-M)
Specify the half-time in seconds of the exponential decay used for
smoothing metrics for performing route selection; the value 0 disables
smoothing. The default is 4s.
* random_router_id (-r)
Use a random router-id. The default is to use persistent router-ids
derived from the MAC address of the first interface, which is easier
to debug and more reliably prevents routing loops but may sometimes
cause a node to be unreachable for 120 seconds just after boot.
Upstream changes:
3 May 2013: babeld-1.4.0
* Change the route selection algorithm to used a smoothed metric in
addition to the "real" metric. This reduces the amount of route
flapping without any special case hacks.
* New flag -r, use a random router-id. This avoids temporarily
unreachable nodes after a reboot when persistent storage is not
available.
* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the local interface now announces the local
hostname, and marks the end of the initial route dump. (Thanks to
Gabriel Kerneis.)
* The local interface is now able to accept multiple simultaneous
connections.
* Detect BATMAN interfaces, don't assume they are wired.

12 April 2013: babeld-1.3.5
* Fix parsing of "channel interfering". Reported by Gioacchino
Mazzurco.
* Correctly reset rp_filter to its old value at shutdown. Thanks to
Matthias Schiffer.
* Work around a race condition that could cause us to fail to notice
an interface's link-local address, and hence mark all neighbours
as unreachable. Reported by Gabriel Kerneis.

30 June 2012: babeld-1.3.2
* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: removed parasitic mode (-P).
* Fixes to IPv4 support on BSD.
* More reduction to the rate of sending requests.

11 February 2011: babeld-1.3.1
* Made the resend logic less aggressive. This should lead to fewer request
messages upon link failure, at the cost of somewhat worse behaviour in the
presence of heavy packet loss.
* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: removed the idle detection functionality (-i). This
feature was little used and complicated the code somewhat.
* Various internal tweaks to bring babeld closer to the Quagga version.

8 December 2011: babeld-1.3.0
* Made the route table into a sorted array, and use binary sort for
searching for routes. This makes most route operations O(log n), at
a slight cost in memory usage.
* Changed the update sending strategy to use buffers large enough for
a full update. This makes the duplicate suppression mechanism
effective in large networks, at a small cost in memory usage.
* Rate-limit the reaction to wildcard requests. This avoids an update
storm at boot in large networks.
* Fixed a bug that prevented usage of the "default" keyword in
configuration files.

9 September 2011: babeld 1.2.0
* Merged the interference-aware branch ("babelz"). Please see the
"-z" flag in the manual page.
* Fixed a memory leak when expiring resent messages.
* Fixed a buffer overflow when parsing MAC addresses (Matthieu Boutier).
* Implemented MAC address parsing for BSD (Matthieu Boutier).

* New option: 'diversity'

30 January 2011: babeld 1.1.0:
* INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: the UDP port number and multicast group have
been changed to be the ones allocated by IANA.
* Initial port to OpenBSD, by Vincent Gross.

This version works around a gcc bug that would cause assertion failures
on MIPS. Other than that, there are no user-visible changes.

- Full-featured UCI configuration file (no need for babeld.conf).
- Do not check the pid file (useless) and ahcpd script (harmful).
- Make /etc/config/babeld a config file.
- Launch at most one instance of babeld.
- Add status and reload options to init script.
- 8 February 2010: babeld 0.98:
* Implement the ability to prefer Babel routes to external routes
according to the kernel priority (-A).
* Implement the ability to redistribute "boot" routes when the
protocol is explicitly specified on the "redistribute" line.
* Allow trailing whitespace in config file.
