Release mrouted v4.0 · troglobit/mrouted

Major release with full IGMPv3 (ASM) support and a new mroutectl tool.

Note: command line options have been changed!

Support for IGMPv3, both sending queries and accepting membership reports, issue #16
Support for configurable IGMP query interval, issue #26
Support for configurable IGMP robustness variable, issue #27
Incompatible command line option refactor
New directive in mrouted.conf: no phyint, reverses the default behavior of mrouted. Interfaces can then selectively be enabled
```
  no phyint
  phyint eth1 enable
  phyint eth2 enable
```
Support for disabling the IP router-alert option:
```
  no router-alert
```
Add systemd unit file
Introduce mroutectl, a helpful tool to interact with mrouted. This completely replaces mrouted.cache and mrouted.dump, including SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals, which are now ignored, issue #24
The mrouted.pid file, and the new mrouted.sock file, are now located in /var/run
Major cleanup of logging directives read from the command line, and from mroutectl. Use -d ?, and -l ? to list alternatives
GNU Configure & Build system, use ./autogen.sh only when building directly from GIT sources, otherwise use ./configure from tarball

Fix #20: Replace obsolete gethostbyname() w/ getaddrinfo()
Fix #25: Save mrouted.genid to persistent store in /var/lib instead of /var/run
Fixed libc portability issues, e.g. GNU:isms like %m etc.
Import OpenBSD fix to daemon() equivalent, use /dev/null for stdin, stdout and stderr
Use clock_gettime(), with monotonic clock, instead of the unsafe gethostbyname(), for all non-date-printing code paths. Only for mrouted, other tools have not been changed
Fix lots of invalid format specifiers, found by Coverity Scan and clang on FreeBSD
Fix detection of netinet/igmp.h on FreeBSD
Fix memory leaks in mrouted on SIGHUP
