[Apologies for duplicate emails]

Dear All,

Libbgpdump 1.4 beta is now available on the RIS web site. The
previous 
release was 1.3.1. Notable changes include:

- - Route_btoa Replacement
   Libbgpdump now includes a replacement for route_btoa called
bgpdump.
   Bgpdump's output syntax is the same as that of route_btoa. Bgpdump
   also supports IPv6 on more platforms than route_btoa and provides
   error reporting of corrupt data and unknown attribute types. It
also
   supports machine-readable output and allows the user to select
which
   timestamp to use for RIB dumps.

   Bgpdump was contributed by Agilent labs.

- - Better Error Handling
   The library now provides access to corrupt data and unknown
attributes
   in dump files. Every record which cannot be decoded now results in
a
   message being logged to syslog, and the library keeps track of how
   many records were dumped and how many were successfully decoded.

- - Autoconf Support
   Libbgpdump should now build on many more platforms, including
cygwin.
   IPv6 support is automatically enabled if the system supports it
   (except on Windows), and no longer depends on user defines.

- - Miscellaneous Fixes
   - Fixed possible endianness issues on SPARC.
   - Fixed a crash when processing NOTIFICATION messages.

Libbgpdump 1.4 can be downloaded at http://www.ris.ripe.net/source/ .

Please send your bug reports to ris at ripe.net.

Best regards,

On behalf of the RIS team, 
Lorenzo Colitti
