We have released OpenBGPD 9.3, which will be arriving in theOpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.This release includes the following changes to the previous release: * Add shorthand for well-known "DOWNGRADE" BGP community. * Remove support old aspa-set table format that included per-provider AFI. Rpki-client stopped issuing those with the 8.5 release in July 2023. * Use getexecpath in the fork-and-execute privilege separation setup and implement portable shims for various other operating systems. * Various minor fixes: - Improve graceful restart timer handling for multi-AFI/SAFI sessions. - Clear the connected nexthop flag when nexthops and nexthops are no longer connected. - Fix edge case where an ASPA table update was not applied because the system erroneously thought the table did not change.OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD and theLinux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS and Ubuntu.It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portableto more distributions.We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this releasepossible.
