4 * Tue May 31 2005 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.22
5 - Show session open time in "show session"/"show user" detailed output.
6 - Have slaves with BGP configured drop BGP on receipt of a shutdown
7 signal, but hang about for an additional 5s to process any remaining
9 - Run regular_cleanups after processing the results of the select,
10 looking at a sufficient slice of each table to ensure that all
11 entries are examined at least once per second.
13 * Mon May 23 2005 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.21
14 - Cluster changes from Michael, intended to prevent a stray master
15 from trashing a cluster:
16 + Ignore heartbeats from peers claiming to be the master before the
17 timeout on the old master has expired.
18 + A master receiving a stray heartbeat sends a unicast HB back, which
19 should cause the rogue to die due to the tie-breaker code.
20 + Keep probing the master for late heartbeats.
21 + Drop BGP as soon as we become master with the minumum required peers.
22 + Any PING seen from a master forces an election (rather than just
23 where basetime is zero).
24 + A slave which receives a LASTSEEN message (presumably a restarted
25 master) sends back new message type, C_MASTER which indicates the
26 address of the current master.
27 - New config option: cluster_master_min_adv which determines the minimum
28 number of up to date slaves required before the master will drop

45 - Reset .die on master takeover (so that dying sessions don't have to
46 hang around until the new master has the same uptime as the old one).
47 - Update .last_packet in cluster_handle_bytes only when there have
48 been bytes received from the modem (dead sessions were having the
49 idle timeout reset by stray packets).
51 * Mon Feb 14 2005 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.16

61 - Don't kill a whole tunnel if we're out of sessions.
62 - Change session[s].ip to 0 if set from RADIUS to 255.255.255.254;

82 changes, propagated in the heartbeats; the master with the highest #
83 of changes (that has kept in contact with the LAC through the
85 - Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
86 - Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP
