1.22 claudio 383: <li>Add first version of flowspec support. Right now only announcement
384: of flowspec rules is possible.
385: <li>Update ASPA support to follow draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-16
386: and draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16 by making the ASPA lookup
387: tables AFI-agnostic.
388: <li>Rework UPDATE message generation to use the new ibuf API instead
389: of the hand-rolled solution before.
390: <li>Fix <code>ext-community * *</code> matching which also affects
1.29 jsg 391: filters removing all ext-communities.
1.22 claudio 392: <li>Improve and extend the bgpctl parser to handle commands like
393: <code>bgpctl show rib 192.0.2.0/24 detail</code>.
394: Also add various flowspec specific commands.
395: <li>Introduce a semaphore to protect intermittent RTR session data
396: from being published to the RDE.
397: <li>Limit the socket buffer size to 64k for all sessions.
398: Limiting the buffer size to a reasonable size ensures that not
399: too many updates end up queued in the TCP stack.

404: <ul>
1.23 claudio 405: <li>A 30%-50% performance improvement was achieved through libcrypto's
406: partial chains certificate validation feature. Already validated
407: non-inheriting CA certificates are now marked as trusted roots. This
408: way it can be ensured that a leaf's delegated resources are properly
409: covered, and at the same time most validation paths are
410: significantly shortened.
411: <li>Support for gzip and deflate HTTP Content-Encoding compression was
412: added. This allows web servers to send RRDP XML in compressed form,
413: saving around 50% of bandwidth.
414: <li>ASPA support was updated to draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile-16.
415: As part of supporting AFI-agnostic ASPAs, the JSON syntax for
416: Validated ASPA Payloads changed in both filemode and normal output.
417: <li>In filemode (-f option) the applicable manifests are now shown as
418: part of the signature path.
419: <li>A new -P option was added to manually specify a moment in time
420: to use when parsing the validity window of certificates. Useful
421: for regression testing. Default is invocation time of rpki-client.
422: <li>The -A option will now also exclude ASPA data from the JSON output.
423: <li>The synchronisation protocol used to sync the repository is now
424: included in the OpenMetrics output.
425: <li>Improved accounting by tracking objects both by repo and tal.
426: <li>Check whether products listed on a manifest were issued by the same
427: authority as the manifest itself.
428: <li>File modification timestamps of objects retrieved via RRDP are now
429: deterministically set to prepare the on-disk cache for seamless
430: failovers from RRDP to RSYNC.
431: <li>Improved detection of RRDP session desynchronization: a check was
432: added to compare whether the delta hashes associated to previously
433: seen serials are different in newly fetched notification files.
434: <li>Improved handling of RRDP deltas in which objects are published,
435: withdrawn, and published again.
436: <li>Disallow X.509 v2 issuer and subject unique identifiers in certs.
437: RPKI CAs will never issue certificates with V2 unique identifiers.
438: <li>A check to disallow duplicate X.509 certificate extensions was
439: added.
440: <li>A check to disallow empty sets of IP Addresses or AS numbers in RFC
441: 3779 extensions was added.
442: <li>A warning is printed when the CMS signing-time attribute in a Signed
443: Object is missing.
444: <li>Warnings about unrecoverable message digest mismatches now include
445: the manifestNumber to aid debugging the cause.
446: <li>A check was added to disallow multiple RRDP publish elements for the
447: same file in RRDP snapshots. If this error condition is encountered,
448: the RRDP transfer is failed and the RP falls back to rsync.
449: <li>A compliance check for the proper X.509 Certificate version and CRL
450: version was added.
451: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure CMS Signed Objects contain
452: SignedData, in accordance to RFC 6488 section 3 checklist item 1a.
453: <li>Compliance checks were added for the version, KeyUsage, and
454: ExtendedKeyUsage of EE certificates in Manifest, TAK, and GBR Signed
455: Objects.
456: <li>A CMS signing-time value being after the X.509 notAfter timestamp
457: was downgraded from an error to a warning.
458: <li>A bug was fixed in the handling of CA certificates which inherit IP
459: resources.
460: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the X.509 Subject only
461: contains commonName and optionally serialNumber.
462: <li>A compliance check was added to ensure the CMS SignedData and
463: SignerInfo versions to be 3.
464: <li>Fisher-Yates shuffle the order in which Manifest entries are
465: processed. Previously, work items were enqueued in the order the CA
466: intended them to appear on a Manifest. However, there is no obvious
467: benefit to third parties deciding the order in which things are
468: processed.
