[Olsr-dev] New version of Olsrd 0.5.6 is coming soon

[Henning Rogge]

Hello,

after two month without a mayor problem in the core of olsrd, we will a new 
release of the stable 0.5.6 version soon.

Most of the mayor fixes are for http/txtinfo and dotdraw plugin, which were 
able to freeze olsrd sometimes. There are some fixes in the core of olsrd, 
mostly a bugfix for the linux specific routing stuff and some smaller fixes to 
keep the GCC more quiet. A fix to run Olsrd on NetBSD is also included in the 
current stable version.

I have stopped the project to backport the "tc/hna/mid generation timer" fix 
to 0.5.6, it just doesn't work right without lot's of changes in the package 
generation code. I will continue to look at the problem, but it's not really 
necessary to fix it in the stable branch now.

I would really like to hear some test results of the new code, I don't think 
there will be much trouble with it. So dust of your "test routers" and let's 
hope nobody find mayor problems with the current tip of the olsrd stable 
repository:
