Hi,

everything is in the title: the last upstream version is out since a
couple weeks, and as usual there are a lot of fixes, some of them
related to ipv6: http://www.keepalived.org/changelog.html

Most relevant to my use case: 
* vrrp: Disable IPv6 on IPv4 VRRP VMAC interfaces.
  If IPv6 is not disabled on VMAC interfaces, an IPv6 link local
  address is generated based on the virtual MAC address. This is not
  only contrary to RFC 5798 para 7.4, but also causes duplicate
  address detection failure. The address also just isn't needed!

(in some case, this can cause traffic to flow through 
servers in BACKUP state via switch mac learning.)

Cheers !
