• Added support for optional parameters and optional capabilities.
• Added support for REFRESH messages.
• Added refresh_callback which are called on new sessions and when a REFRESH message is recieved.
• Added reset_callback which are called on connection reset of any kind.
• Added "renew" constructor to Peer objects to reclaim an object reference from the string representation of the same - Using weak references (Scalar::Util).
• Fixed SO_REUSEADDR - should be done BEFORE bind()

• Some methods in Peer (and Transport) maid public.
• Added an ASPath object to handle complex ASPaths, including confederations.
• The new NLRI object is overloaded and has many new methods compared to the potion of code moved from Update

0.03 Sun Mar 16 13:31:55 2003

• Added clone() method to Net::BGP::Update
• Removed warning when encoding empty AS_PATH which is

  ok for IBGP peering sessions.

• Removed warnings for missing mandatory path attributes

  for the case when no NLRI is present in an UPDATE message.

• Fixed bug in encodeprefix() in Net::BGP::Update

  which could cause 0.0.0.0/0 to be encoded into the prefix list when prefixes shorter than 32 bits (i.e. non-host routes) are specified with all 4 octets (e.g. when 192.168/16 is given as 192.168.0.0/16).

Thanks to Martin Lorensen for identifying these problems.
