Rotonda 0.4.0 ‘Bold and undaunting Youth’ released

We are happy to announce a new release of Rotonda, version 0.4.0 ‘Bold and undaunting Youth’.

Rotonda is a programmable, analytical BGP engine, that allows users to gather routing data from various sources, such as routers, routing software and files, and over various protocols, such as BMP, BGP and MRT. Rotonda collects this information in an in-memory database.

This release features a first implementation of the RTR component, that allows Rotonda to receive Route Origin Validation information from RPKI validator software, like Routinator, or rpki-client.

Furthermore, this release uses a new version of Roto (the Rotonda filter programming language) compiler, which features a module system, and optional types.

Internally, preparations have been made to start storing routing information both in-memory and on-disk. Stay tuned.

There have been many smaller changes and improvements. The full list of changes is available in the release notes.
