Hello Douglas, >I'm still waiting for the funny stories about this refactoring from v2 to >v3...

Here you are. https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/blob/v3.1.1/doc/migration-bird3.md >- Does it change syntax? Where? How much? Not in conf, unless you do some low level table performance knobbing. >- SMP, of course. >- What else? Partial route reimports and reexports on ROA updates, not much more iirc. >- Who should be using it? We are going to stop adding new features into BIRD 2 in some time, as BIRD 3 brings better refactored internal data structures. >Another question I have and may be shared by other colleagues: >What is the difference between v3.0 and v3.1? What are the plans for this >type of release? BIRD 3.1 NEWS file gives exactly this information: o CLI v2 compatibility layer for show route o Thread configuration rework o Merged 2.17 Version 2.17 (2025-04-01) o Babel: next hop control for IPv4 o BGP: link-local next hop format configuration o TCP-AO implementation for Linux Have a nice day!
