This release fixes an issue in the bundled UI that caused it to retrieve data from our own test instance rather than the actual Routinator instance. Users of the bundled UI should upgrade.

Other changes

• Upgrades the bundled Routinator UI to release 0.4.5. ([#1014])

Other changes

• Upgrades the bundled Routinator UI to release 0.4.5. ([#1014])

This release fixes a crash when the file names listed in a manifest contain illegal characters. We recommend all users to upgrade to this version.

New

• ASPA support is now always compiled in and available if enable-aspa is set. The aspa Cargo feature has been removed. (#990)
• If merging mutliple ASPA objects for a single customer ASN results in more than 16,380 provider ASNs, the ASPA is dropped. (Note that ASPA objects with more than 16,380 provider ASNs are already rejected during parsing.) (#996)
• New archive-stats command that shows some statistics of an RRDP archive. (#982)
• Re-enabled the use of GZIP compression in HTTP request sent by the RRDP collector. Measures to deal with exploding data have been implemented in rpki-rs#319. (#997)

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue with checking the file names in manifests that let to a crash when non-ASCII characters are used. (rpki-rs#320, reported by Haya Schulmann and Niklas Vogel of Goethe University Frankfurt/ATHENE Center and assigned CVE-2025-0638)
• The validation HTTP endpoints now accept prefixes with non-zero host bits. (#987)
• Removed duplicate rtr_client_reset_queries in HTTP metrics. (#992 by @sleinen)
• Improved disk space consumption of the new RRDP archives by re-using empty space when updating an object and padding all objects to a multiple of 256 bytes. (#982)

Other changes

• The minimum supported Rust version is now 1.74. (#999)
• Added packaging support for Ubuntu 24.04 and removed support for Debian Stretch 9, Ubuntu Xenial 16.04, Ubuntu Bionic 18.04, and Centos 7 (#980, #994)
• Upgraded the bundled routinator-ui to release [ui-0.4.3][0.4.3].

Breaking changes

• Keep the content of an RRDP repository in a single file rather than as individual files under a directory. (#886)
• Switched to the all-new version 0.4 of the Routinator UI. This also changes the way we import the UI into Routinator by simply including the built assets which means downloads are not necessary during the build process any more. (#952)
• Changed the summary output format to have all lines end in a semicolon. (#907)
• Changed the options used for rsync. The options -rtO --delete are now always used. The options set in the rsync-args are added or, if that is not used, -z and --no-motd, as well as --contimeout=10 if it is supported by the rsync command, and --max-size if the max-object-size option has not been set to 0. (#962)

New

• The chain_validity value in the jsonext format now considers the validity of the manifest’s EE certificates. A new stale value shows the time when any of the publication points along the way will become stale. (#945)
• If a collected manifest has a lower manifest number or an older thisUpdate field than a stored manifest for the same CA, the collected manifest is ignored and the stored publication point is used instead. This implements a requirement added in RFC 9286. (#946, #954)
• The number of delta entries in a RRDP notification file is now limited to 500 by default. If there are more entries, the deltas are ignored and the snapshot is used. The limit can be changed through the new rrdp-max-delta-list-len configuration value. (#961)
• The RRDP collector now falls back to a snapshot update if the hash of a delta listed in the notification file has changed from the previous update. This implements draft-ietf-sidrops-rrdp-desynchronization-00. (#951)
• The RRDP collector now enforces that all URIs referred to or redirected to by an RRDP server have the same origin as the rpkiNotify URI in the CA certificate. (#953)
• The config file used is now printed for some commands. This should help with avoiding confusion when running Routinator as different users. (#959)

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where the refresh time was calculated as zero under certain conditions until the dataset was updated. (#940)
• Add the current RRDP serial number to the RRDP server metrics when a Not Modified response is received so that Prometheus shows a constant value.

Bug fixes

• Updated the bundled Routinator UI to version 0.4.1. This fixes internal linking some more. (#967)

Bug Fixes

• Fix the RTR listener so that Routinator won’t exit if an incoming RTR
  connection is closed again too quickly. (#937, reported by Yohei
  Nishimura, Atsushi Enomoto, Ruka Miyachi; Internet Multifeed Co., Japan.
  Assigned CVE-2024-1622.)

New

• Added support for private keys marked as “EC PRIVATE KEY“ in the PEM files for TLS server configuration. (#921)
• The rsync collector now logs stderr output of the rsync command directly instead of collecting it and logging it in one go after the commend returned. ([#290])

Bug Fixes

• The dump command will now succeed even if certain directories or files in the repository cache are missing. (#916)
• A more meaningful message is now printed when decoding RPKI objects fails. It will still not give much detail but at least it isn’t confusing any more. (#917)

Other changes

• Updated the nlnetlabs-testbed TAL to the current location and key. (#922)

• The RTR server now returns the expected protocol version in the version negotiation error message rather than the requested version. (rpki-rs #280)
• The RTR server does not accept protocol version 2 for now to avoid sending illegal ASPA PDUs. This is a workaround until the final format of the PDU is specified. (rpki-rs #281)
