Release 0.3.0

[DRiKE]

0.3.0 'Hempcrete & Hawthorn'

Released 2025-01-30.

Breaking changes

• In the embedded roto the define and apply blocks are gone. Users can now define variables and functions throughout the script.

• Arguments to filter-maps in roto have changed: some of them are now implicit.

  See the bundled example in etc/examples for more details.

New

• In the roto language users can now assign variables and functions through the use of let statements anywhere in a roto script.
• In roto, in addition to the breaking changes, there now is support for constants and strings. This enables, amongst other things, customizable logging.
  Several other helper methods on the various types, including ones to format fields to strings, are introduced.
• The new file-out target enables logging to a file in JSON or CSV format.
  Several helpers to log specific features are available, as well as the aforementioned custom logging via strings.
• The mrt-file-in unit can now be configured to process multiple files in sequence, and is able to process the most common message types seen in update MRT files. Furthermore, .bz2 compressed archives can be processed.
  A new API endpoint enables queueing of files.
• Upon re-establishment of a previous BMP session, the previous session information is looked up and re-used. This should reduce memory use, and moreover, prevent confusing results when querying prefixes.
• BMP messages originating from a LocRib are now recognized and stored.

Bug fixes

• Several metric counters were not increased properly.

Known issues

• The "more_specifics" field in a query result may include wrong prefixes.

Other changes

• We no longer build binary packages for Debian 9 "Stretch" and Ubuntu 16.04
  LTS "Xenial Xerus".
