Hi all,
We have just released Click 1.0.5, available for download at
http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/click/
This release fixes big bugs, particularly with the Linux kernel module, and
we recommend that everyone upgrade to it.
New features include:
- Bug fixes, fewer race conditions, fewer memory leaks, fewer kernel hangs
- Hot-swapping -- install a new Linux kernel router configuration without
losing the packets in the old configuration
- Better tool performance and behavior (click-xform, click-fastclassifier,
click-devirtualize)
- New tools: click-combine and click-uncombine -- combine 2 or more routers
into a single configuration that represents the network, then separate
individual routers from the combined configuration
- One set of Timers per router configuration, not one global set (Leigh,
you wanted this a while ago)
New anti-feature:
- If you do not #define HAVE_POLLING, then click-1.0.5's performance will
be slightly worse than click-1.0.3.

We believe we've fixed all the issues we know about, and as always, welcome
comments, patches and suggestions.
love,
ed
