OpenBGPD 8.7 released

We have released OpenBGPD 8.7, which will be arriving in the
OpenBGPD directory of your local OpenBSD mirror soon.

This release includes the following changes to the previous release:

* Cache the Adj-RIB-Out for sessions that have not been down for
more than 1h. This significantly improves synchronisation time
of peers that flap.

* Implement RFC 8538: Notification Message Support for
BGP Graceful Restart.

* Add support for RFC 8654, extended messages.

* In bgplgd add additional endpoints to query the Adj-RIB-In and
Adj-RIB-Out.

* Bump internal message size limit to 128k and handle up to 10 000
ASPA SPAS entries as suggested in draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-profile.

* Various improvements to the ibuf API including a new reader API
which is used to make all message parsing in bgpd memory safe.

* Added support for IPsec and TCP MD5 to RTR sessions.

OpenBGPD-portable is known to compile and run on FreeBSD, NetBSD and the
Linux distributions Alpine, Debian, CentOS/RHEL/Rocky, Fedora, openSUSE/SLE,
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.
