+Version 1.2.0 (2010-01-05)
+ o Implements OSPFv3 (IPv6 support for OSPF). Because the code is
+ shared with OSPFv2 and there were deep changes in it, we suggest
+ caution during upgrade to OSPF users. Some advanced features
+ (like NSSA, vlinks and authentication) are not yet implemented.
+ o Implements MRTdump - binary logging protocol compatible with other
+ routing daemons. Only BGP part of MRTdump is yet implemented.
+ o Changes default value of BGP attribute LOCAL_PREF from 0 to 100.
+ Use 'default bgp_local_pref 0' BGP protocol option for the old
+ behavior. The new value is suggested by RFC 4277.
+ o Changes default mode of pipes from opaque to transparent.
+ Use 'mode opaque' protocol option if the old behavior is needed.
+ Opaque pipe mode is deprecated and might be removed in the future.
+
Version 1.1.7 (2009-12-20)
o Implements BGP Route Refresh (RFC 2918).
o Implements route reload command.
