KRF_INSTALLED flag was not cleared during reconfiguration that lead to not removing routes during reconfigure when export rules changed. We also should not try to remove routes we didi not installed, on Linux this leads to warnings (as kernel checks route source field and do not allow to remove non-bird routes) but we should not rely on it. |

BIRD Internet Routing Daemon 1.0.11

================================================================================
The BIRD project is an attempt to create a routing daemon running on UNIX-like
systems (but not necessarily limited to them) with full support of all modern
routing protocols, easy to use configuration interface and powerful route
filtering language.
This software should be considered a beta version. It has undergone extensive
testing by the authors, but since it's the first public release, only a limited
amount of "real life" experience is known and there still might be problems
with operation in unusual environments.
If you want to help us debugging, enhancing and porting BIRD or just lurk
around to see what's going to develop from this strange creature, feel free
to subscribe to the BIRD users mailing list (bird-users@bird.network.cz),
send subscribes to majordomo at the same machine). Bug reports, suggestions,
feature requests (: and code :) are welcome.
You can download the latest version from ftp://bird.network.cz/pub/bird/
and look at the BIRD home page at http://bird.network.cz/.
BIRD has been developed as a student project at the Faculty of Math
and Physics, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic under supervision
of RNDr. Libor Forst <forst@cuni.cz>.

How to install BIRD:
./configure
make
make install
vi /usr/local/etc/bird.conf
Online documentation is available as HTML files in the doc directory,
you can install it by `make install-docs' and rebuild it by `make docs',
but for the latter you need SGMLtools and LaTeX to be installed on your
machine. You can also download a neatly formatted PostScript version
as a separate archive (bird-doc-*.tar.gz).
What do we support:
o Both IPv4 and IPv6 (use --enable-ipv6 when configuring)
o Multiple routing tables
o BGP
o RIP
o OSPF (IPv4 only)
o Static routes
o Inter-table protocol
o Command-line interface (using the `birdc' client; to get
some help, just press `?')
o Soft reconfiguration -- no online commands for changing the
configuration in very limited ways, just edit the configuration
file and issue a `configure' command or send SIGHUP and BIRD
will start using the new configuration, possibly restarting
protocols affected by the configuration changes.
o Powerful language for route filtering (see doc/bird.conf.example).
What is missing:
o OSPF for IPv6
o OSPF multiple areas and virtual links
o See the TODO list
Good Luck and enjoy the BIRD :)
