Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.  I've been away from my

There are changes above and beyond 0.100 but a formal release has not
been made.

Not that I know of.  If you find the need for changes, please let me know.

If you want to get the latest changes you will need to use p4.  You can see
how to access my personal archive by looking at:

http://mpls-linux.sf.net/

You will want to trim your 'view' to only include:

//depot/linux-vrf/...
//depot/vrf-kernel/...
