1 * Thu Jun 2 2005 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.1.0
2 - Add IPv6 support from Jonathan McDowell.
3 - Add CHAP support from Jordan Hrycaj.
4 - Add interim accounting support from Vladislav Bjelic.
5 - Add Acct-Output-Gigawords, Acct-Input-Gigawords attributes to RADIUS
7 - Negotiate MRU, default 1458 to avoid fragmentation.
8 - Sanity check that cluster_send_session is not called from a child
10 - Use bounds-checking lookup functions for string constants.
11 - Add enum for RADIUS codes.
12 - Make "call_" prefix implict in CSTAT() macro.
13 - Fix some format string problems.
14 - Remove "save_state" option. Not maintained anymore; use clustering
15 to retain state across restarts.
16 - Simplify AVP unhiding code.
17 - Add optional "username" parameter to ungarden control, allowing the
18 username to be reset before going online.
19 - Add result/error codes and message to StopCCN when shutting down tunnels.
20 - Add result/error codes to CDN when shutting down sessions. Sends 2/7
21 (general error, try another LNS) when out of IP addresses, and 3
22 (adminstrative) for everything else (suggestion from Chris Gates).
23 - Use cli_error() for error messages and help.
24 - Don't use LOG() macro in initdata() until the config struct has been
25 allocated (uses config->debug).
26 - Initialise log_stream to stderr to catch errors before the config file
28 - Make "show running-config" a privileged command (contains clear text
30 - Add sessionctl plugin to provide drop/kill via nsctl.
31 - New config option: allow_duplicate_users which determines whether
32 or not to kill older sessions with the same username.
33 - Fix byte counters in accounting records.
35 + Show session open time in "show session"/"show user" detailed output.
36 + Have slaves with BGP configured drop BGP on receipt of a shutdown
37 signal, but hang about for an additional 5s to process any remaining
39 + Run regular_cleanups after processing the results of the select,
40 looking at a sufficient slice of each table to ensure that all
41 entries are examined at least once per second.
43 + Cluster changes from Michael, intended to prevent a stray master
44 from trashing a cluster:
45 = Ignore heartbeats from peers claiming to be the master before the
46 timeout on the old master has expired.
47 = A master receiving a stray heartbeat sends a unicast HB back, which
48 should cause the rogue to die due to the tie-breaker code.
49 = Keep probing the master for late heartbeats.
50 = Drop BGP as soon as we become master with the minumum required peers.
51 = Any PING seen from a master forces an election (rather than just
52 where basetime is zero).
53 = A slave which receives a LASTSEEN message (presumably a restarted
54 master) sends back new message type, C_MASTER which indicates the
55 address of the current master.
56 + New config option: cluster_master_min_adv which determines the minimum
57 number of up to date slaves required before the master will drop
60 + Add handling of "throttle=N" RADIUS attributes.
61 + Fix RADIUS indexing (should have 16K entries with 64 sockets).
63 + Fix leak in session freelist when initial RADIUS session allocation
66 + Add a Cisco-Avpair with intercept details to RADIUS Start/Stop
69 + Only send RADIUS stop record in sessionshutdown when there's an ip address.
70 + Reset .die on master takeover (so that dying sessions don't have to
71 hang around until the new master has the same uptime as the old one).
72 + Update .last_packet in cluster_handle_bytes only when there have
73 been bytes received from the modem (dead sessions were having the
74 idle timeout reset by stray packets).
76 + Ensure that sessionkill is not called on an unopened session (borks
78 + Bump MAXSESSION to 60K.
79 + Fix off-by-one errors in session/tunnel initialisation and
80 sessiont <-> sessionidt functions.
81 + Use session[s].opened consistently when checking for in-use sessions
82 (rather than session[s].tunnel).
83 + Use <= cluster_highest_sessionid rather than < MAXSESSION in a
85 + Don't kill a whole tunnel if we're out of sessions.
86 + Change session[s].ip to 0 if set from RADIUS to 255.255.255.254;
87 avoids the possibility that it will be interpreted as a valid IP
89 + Avoid a possible buffer overflow in processpap.
90 + Kill session if authentication was rejected.
92 + More DoS prevention: add packet_limit option to apply a hard limit
93 to downstream packets per session.
94 + Fix "clear counters".
95 + Log "Accepted connection to CLI" at 4 when connection is from localhost
96 to reduce noise in logs.
97 + Show time since last counter reset in "show counters".
99 + Throttle outgoing LASTSEEN packets to at most one per second for a
102 * Fri Dec 17 2004 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.13

104 changes, propagated in the heartbeats; the master with the highest #
105 of changes (that has kept in contact with the LAC through the
107 - Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
108 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP
109 packets in this state.
110 - Use gzip --best for man pages, include pid_file in sample
111 startup-config (from Jonathan's Debian package patches).
112 - Read multiple packets off cluster_sockfd as well as udpfd, tunfd in an
113 attempt to avoid losing the cluster in high load (DoS) conditions.
114 - Add counters for select_called, multi_read_used and multi_read_exceeded.
116 - Retain counters of shutdown sessions to dump once per minute.
