[ixpmanager-announce] [RELEASE] v6.4.0 Route Servers - Resilience and UI Based Community Filtering

[Barry O'Donovan (INEX)]

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of IXP Manager 
v6.4.0.

This release provides significant new features for route server 
resilience, UI-based community filtering, and many smaller improvements 
and bug fixes.

https://github.com/inex/IXP-Manager/releases/tag/v6.4.0

These features were presented at the recent Euro-IX route server 
workshop, and the slide deck can be downloaded here 
<https://www.barryodonovan.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/euroix-rs-workshop-2024-03-13.pdf>. 


Upgrading to v6.4.0 will not cause any issues with existing route server 
update scripts. However, to use the new resiliency features, updated 
scripts are required. To allow your members to effectively use the new 
UI-based filtering, a significant increase in route server update 
cadence is required. We have recorded a tutorial of a live IXP Manager 
upgrade in a production environment which can be followed in addition to 
the usual upgrade instructions. You can see that at 
https://youtu.be/k12TzsNQwLI.

We have recently welcomed a new developer to the project and have 
started work on v7.0.0. We'll introduce Laszlo properly and provide a 
wider update on our plans for v7 in the next week or so.


Kind regards,
Barry O'Donovan
