[Dave Roberts]

Vyatta is pleased to announce that version 2.2 (code name Camarillo) has 
been released to the **testing** repository. This code is beta quality and 
is suitable for anybody running Vyatta that wants to test the latest and 
greatest. There are a number of enhancements in this version, detailed 
below.


UPGRADING
=========

To upgrade, configure the testing package repository as described on the 
wiki:
http://www.vyatta.com/twiki/bin/view/Community/HowToUpdate

Then login as root to the system and type the following three commands:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
full-upgrade

The "full-upgrade" command is something new that makes sure that you get any 
additional packages that are part of the release that were not previously 
installed.


WHAT'S NEW
==========

This release adds the following enhancements

* BGP enhancements
   * Per-peer BGP routing policies:   Import and export routing policies can 
now be applied to individual BGP peers as well as at the BGP protocol level.
   * MD5 authentication for BGP:  An MD5 key can now be specified to 
authenticate a BGP peer.

* NAT usability enhancements.
   * The "type" and "translation-type" options have been consolidated into a 
single attribute for ease of configuration
   * The "inside-address" and "outside-address" options can now be 
configured with address ranges
   * Port translation is now supported
   * The Configuration Guide has been enhanced with a greater number and 
variety of examples for NAT

* Improvements to DHCP server and DHCP relay
   * In previous releases, the system's DHCP server configuration feature 
did not work correctly for multiple subnets on the same physical interface 
(multinetting). In addition, the DHCP relay configuration feature did not 
work for multiple physical interfaces.  These features have been made more 
robust, and now DHCP server and relay can be used in both these cases.
   * DHCP server and DHCP relay configuration options have been enhanced to 
improve usability

* New options for "show version".  The "show version" command has been 
enhanced to provide additional information about packages.  The new options 
are as follows:
   * all.  Shows all packages that have either been added, deleted, 
downgraded, or upgraded since the last baseline release upgrade.
added.  Lists packages that have been added when compared to the last 
baseline release upgrade.
   * deleted.  Lists packages that have been deleted when compared to the 
last baseline release upgrade.
downgraded.  Lists packages that have been rolled back to a previous version 
when compared to the last baseline release upgrade.
   * upgraded.  Lists packages that have been upgraded when compared to the

* Bug fixes. Over 100 issues (bugs and enhancements) have been resolved with 
this update. The list of issues addressed by this release is available on
