Re: [Bgpd-users] Patch for BGP/PathAttribute [bgpd.pl-0.06]

[Steven <st...@xs...>]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the patch! 0.07 was actually released. a bit more then a year 
ago. I'll see if I can dig up the sources and my SF password somewhere 
and make a new release. As you may have guessed, I haven't been spending 
a lot of time on developing bgpd.pl lately :-).
