OpenBGPD 8.9 released

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 micorsecond
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, RHEL/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.
