Major release with full IGMPv3 (ASM) support and a new mroutectl tool.

Note: command line options have been changed!

Changes

  • Support for IGMPv3, both sending queries and accepting membership reports, issue #16
  • Support for configurable IGMP query interval, issue #26
  • Support for configurable IGMP robustness variable, issue #27
  • Incompatible command line option refactor
  • Add systemd unit file
  • Introduce mroutectl, a helpful tool to interact with mrouted. This completely replaces mrouted.cache and mrouted.dump, including SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals, which are now ignored, issue #24
  • The mrouted.pid file, and the new mrouted.sock file, are now located in /var/run
  • Major cleanup of logging directives take from command line, and now also from mroutectl. Use -d ?, and -l ? to list alternatives
  • GNU Configure & Build system, use ./autogen.sh only when building directly from GIT sources, otherwise use ./configure from tarball

Fixes

  • Fix #20: Replace obsolete gethostbyname() w/ getaddrinfo()
  • Fix #25: Save mrouted.genid to persistent store in /var/lib instead of /var/run
  • Fixed libc portability issues, e.g. GNU:isms like %m etc.
  • Import OpenBSD fix to daemon() equivalent, use /dev/null for stdin, stdout and stderr
  • Use clock_gettime(), with monotonic clock, instead of the unsafe gethostbyname(), for all non-date-printing code paths. Only for mrouted, other tools have not been changed
  • Fix lots of invalid format specifiers, found by Coverity Scan and clang on FreeBSD
  • Fix detection of netinet/igmp.h on FreeBSD
