OpenBGPD 8.9 released

Contributed by rueda on 2025-09-26 from the you-smell-an-OpenBSD-release dept.

Claudio Jeker (claudio@) announced the release of version 8.9 of OpenBGPD, the OpenBSD project's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) daemon:

We have released OpenBGPD 8.9, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

    * In verbose mode log the NOTIFICATION data for UPDATE errors.

    * Fix a busy loop error in the pfkey handling for OpenBSD and FreeBSD.

    * Introduce monotime - an internal time API using microsecond
      resolution.

    * Fix accounting of the pending update counter

    * Use new ibufq interface instead of handrolling the same.

    * Large refactoring of internal APIs to make the code easier to share
      and cleaner.

OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD and the
Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, Fedora, APIs/CentOS and Ubuntu.
It is our hope that packagers take interest and help adapt OpenBGPD-portable
to more distributions.

We welcome feedback and improvements from the broader community.
Thanks to all of the contributors who helped make this release
possible.

As returning readers will be aware, the announcement of a new OpenBGPD release is a clear sign that a new OpenBSD release can not be far off.

Essentially, we have more goodies to look forward to soon.
