Alexandre,
Congratulations on your 1.0.0 release! This software has certainly come a
long way.
I am thinking of using Keepalived for a Zebra router / BGP / "replace the
3640's cause they don't handle our bandwidth" project. I want to emulate
the HSRP functionality of the Cisco routers. Keepalived's job would be to
fail over virtual IPs and function in an active-active cluster. Maybe
active-active-passive, depending on if I don't feel that good about my
hardware.
Any thoughts? I was also considering using heartbeat.

> Thanks go to
> Jeroen Simonetti <jeroens@xxxxxxxx> & Jason Gilbert
> <jason@xxxxxxxxxx>
> * Jason Gilbert, <jason@xxxxxxxxxx> cleaned keepalived.spec.
> * Added support to "ha_suspend" for healthcheckers.
> This option,
> if set, inform Keepalived to active/suspend
> checkers according

> * Added support to "notify_up" & "notify_down" for realserver
> config. These options specify a script to be run
> according to
> healthchecker activity. If healthchecking fails then
> "notify_down" script is launched (and reciprocity for
> healthcheck succeed). This can be usefull for global
> monitoring system, to send alert to Unicenter TNG or HPOV.
> * Set default realserver weight to 1. So, realserver will be
> active if no weight is specified into the
> configuration file.
> * Review the layer4.c/tcp_socket_state to return
> connection in
> progress only if SOL_SOCKET/SO_ERROR return EINPROGRESS.
> Thanks go to Mark Weaver, <mark@xxxxxxxxxx>
> * Reviewed the global SIGCHLD handler to not suspend
> execution
> of the calling process if status is not
> immediately available
> for one of the child processes. This remove zombies by
> reaping.
> * Extended the parser.c/set_value() code to accept
> encapsulated
> quoted string.
> * Review SMTP DBG() message to LOG_INFO message for
> more verbose
> error handling.
> * Review the check_tcp.c/check_http.c logging messages to be
> more detailed.
> * Review the check_tcp.c/check_http.c retry facility to fixes
> some stalled issues.
> * VRRP : Added support to sync_group smtp notification in
> addition to the per instances approach.
> * VRRP : Fixed some IPSEC-AH seq_num synchronizations issues.
> Force seq_num sync if vrrp instance is linked to a group.
> * VRRP : In BACKUP state, force a new MASTER election is
> received adv. has a lower priority as locale instance.
> * VRRP : vrrp.c/vrrp_state_master_rx(), sync IPSEC-AH seq_num
> counter (decrement) if receiving higher prio
> advert in MASTER
> state.
> * VRRP : Reviewed the TSM to be fully filled.
> Extended speed-up
> synchronization handling MASTER sync if group is
> not already
> synced.
> * VRRP : Leaving fault state, force MASTER transition is
> received adv priority is lower than locale.
> * VRRP : Extended the parser to not be borred with sync_group
> declaration position in the conf file.
> vrrp_sync_group can be
> declared before or after vrrp_instance. Done by adding a
> reverse instance lookup during parsing.
> * VRRP : sync_master_election cleanup.
> * Some cosmetics patches.
> * Created the keepalived/samples/keepalived.conf.SYNOPSIS to
> describe all keywords available.
