We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of IXP Manager
v6.4.0.
<br>
<p>This release provides significant new features for route server
resilience, UI-based community filtering, and many smaller improvements
and bug fixes.</p>

<br>
These features were presented at the recent Euro-IX route server
workshop, and <a

slide deck can be downloaded here</a>.
<br>
<br>
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 <a

<br>
We have recently welcomed a new developer to the project and have
already
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. <br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,
<br>
Barry O'Donovan
